Medically Monitored Detox and Inpatient Structure

Recovery Centers of America at Raritan Bay offers medically monitored detox and residential inpatient treatment for adults with substance use disorders, including co-occurring mental health conditions. Care includes evidence-based therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training, 12-step facilitation, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when appropriate. Progress tracking and ongoing assessment help the team adjust care as needs change during treatment.

Specialty Tracks for First Responders, Military, and Gambling Disorder

This location stands out for its focused programming, including RESCU, a confidential track designed for first responders and military members. Clients can work through trauma and job-related stress in a setting built for peer connection with others who understand the demands of uniformed service. The gambling track is designed to address gambling disorder alongside substance use, supporting clients who need help across both challenges.

Flexible Support for Work, School, and Family Involvement

For people who cannot fully pause responsibilities, WorkFlex provides time and space to keep up with virtual work or education during inpatient care. Family involvement is built into the treatment model through education and support offerings that help loved ones understand addiction, strengthen communication, and plan for the transition home. These options can be especially helpful for clients who need structure in treatment while staying connected to the life they will return to.

A Restorative Campus With Everyday Wellness Options

The South Amboy campus is designed to feel steady and livable during early recovery, with outdoor courtyard space and areas to reset between sessions. Clients have access to movement and recreation options like a fitness center, yoga, basketball, and ping pong, along with group activities such as game nights and karaoke. A library offers quiet downtime, and optional Sunday services are available for those who want spiritual support.

Step-Down Care and Ongoing Connection After Discharge

Raritan Bay offers step-down options through outpatient programming, including intensive outpatient services and telehealth, which can help clients continue care while rebuilding routines at home. Discharge planning and continued support are reinforced through an alumni association that offers recovery meetings, events, and follow-up outreach to help clients stay connected to peer support after treatment.
