The Recovery Team - New Jersey

Integrated Care for Substance Use and Mental Health

The Recovery Team – New Jersey specializes in treating individuals with both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Clients may come in dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or trauma alongside challenges related to alcohol, stimulants, opioids, or prescription medications. This outpatient-only program combines evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-specific care, to help clients understand their patterns and develop tools to support long-term healing.

Outpatient Model With Built-In Continuity

The Recovery Team provides outpatient detox, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and intensive outpatient programming (IOP), allowing clients to maintain some aspects of home or work life while in care. Discharge planning begins early, and structured aftercare includes alumni programming, relapse prevention, and community resource referrals. This continuity helps ensure clients aren’t just stabilized, but supported as they rebuild their lives.

Trauma-Informed Approach With Real-Life Impact

Many clients at The Recovery Team have faced relapse, chronic emotional distress, or unresolved trauma. Therapy is delivered through a trauma-informed lens, with a strong emphasis on emotional safety. The center offers medications for addiction treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal and support stability, and integrates clinical methods like motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to address deeper mental health concerns.

Holistic Healing in a Calm Suburban Setting

Set in the wooded foothills of Mountainside, the facility offers a calming, suburban environment that supports rest and reflection. Chef-prepared meals and access to green space reinforce wellness goals, while daily programming includes mindfulness, yoga, and fitness options. These integrative services help clients reconnect with their bodies, manage stress, and establish routines that can ease the transition into post-treatment life.

Inclusive Care for LGBTQ+ Clients

Affirming care is central to the program’s identity. Staff receive training in trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices to ensure LGBTQ+ clients feel seen, safe, and supported throughout treatment. This inclusive approach helps remove barriers to care and fosters connection among peers navigating similar experiences.
