Fast Admissions and Travel Assistance

Fast-track admissions are emphasized, often within the same day or even same hour, for individuals in urgent need of care. This responsive intake process helps people access treatment at a critical time—before motivation fades or symptoms worsen. The admissions team is available 24/7 to verify insurance and coordinate logistics. For those traveling from out of state, SOBA provides transportation assistance within a five-hour radius of the facility, including parts of New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

Family Support, Life Skills, and Relapse Prevention

The comprehensive support system includes family involvement, practical life skills training, and relapse prevention. Family members are engaged through therapy and education to rebuild trust and improve communication. Clients participate in structured life skills programming that covers job search support, resume writing, interview preparation, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and managing daily routines. These skills are especially valuable for young adults or those rebuilding after periods of instability. Relapse prevention is integrated throughout treatment, with individualized plans that help clients identify triggers, practice coping strategies, and maintain healthy structure.

Specialized Programs for Distinct Communities

Tailored programs are available for clients with unique cultural, professional, and developmental needs. The Shalvah program supports members of the Orthodox Jewish community with kosher meals, Sabbath observance, and space for prayer and study. The executive program is designed for professionals who require flexibility, offering private rooms, workspace access, and discretion to manage limited work duties during treatment. The young adult program, focused on individuals ages 18–27, emphasizes emotional development, accountability, and real-world readiness with support in areas like education, employment, and independent living.

Modern Amenities and Holistic Therapy Options

Clients have access to private or semi-private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and thoughtfully furnished spaces including a fitness center, spa, library, business lounge, and outdoor gardens. The facility also integrates holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation, nutrition counseling, and art and music therapy. For those seeking experiential healing, adventure therapy and structured outings offer opportunities for personal growth and confidence-building. These approaches help clients feel grounded and supported as they begin rebuilding their lives.

Long-Term Community and Alumni Support

A robust alumni program helps clients stay connected and supported long after formal treatment ends. Services include regular alumni meetings, access to ongoing counseling, and structured follow-up sessions—both in person and online. Alumni are invited to community events, peer support groups, and sober social gatherings, fostering accountability and lasting relationships. Clients can also return for short stays during challenging times, paying only for room and board.

What Patients Are Saying

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with many describing SOBA NJ as “life-changing.” Clients consistently highlight the emotional safety created by staff and the sense of belonging found in peer support. A few mention minor issues like room-sharing or logistics, but these are far outweighed by praise for the people, programs, and post-treatment support. For many, the facility doesn’t just treat addiction—it helps build a foundation for a healthier, more connected life.
