Valley Spring's Alumni Program — Family For Life provides structured, Varies-hour treatment for individuals transitioning from inpatient care. Intimate groups, evidence-based therapies, and whole-person wellness — Ongoing in Norwood, NJ.
"The PHP program gave me the structure I needed after leaving residential treatment. The small group sizes made all the difference — I actually felt heard."
"Valley Spring's team helped me with everything — my FMLA paperwork, housing, even connecting me with sober living. They went above and beyond."
"The wellness component — yoga, sound baths, ice baths — really set this apart. It wasn't just talk therapy. They treated the whole person."
PHP is the first stage of Valley Spring's 4-stage progressive recovery model — THRIVE. This level of care is for fragile, high-risk individuals who need stabilization within a supportive, structured environment.
You'll attend Varies hours of programming per day, Ongoing, working closely with a tight-knit clinical team. Groups are kept intentionally small — under 10 people — so you'll never feel lost in the crowd.
Evidence-based modalities include CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, experiential therapy, and trauma counseling. If medication-assisted treatment is appropriate, our medical team manages Suboxone, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Topamax.
Smaller caseloads mean more individual attention, faster rapport, and clinical plans tailored specifically to your situation.
Our small group model ensures you're heard — not just another face in a crowded room. Every voice matters in every session.

The core of your PHP experience. Through small process groups, individual therapy, and psychoeducational sessions, you develop practical coping skills, emotional regulation techniques, and relapse prevention strategies. Our Health & Wellness 5 Pillars framework addresses sleep, movement, trauma regulation, education, and medication literacy.
As stability increases, treatment shifts toward applying your new skills in real-world situations. Elective groups let you choose topics that matter to you. Case management handles your external responsibilities — FMLA paperwork, housing, court coordination — so recovery stays the priority.
After Lifetime, your treatment team evaluates your progress during Wednesday clinical meetings. When you're ready, you step down to Intensive Outpatient (IOP) — the same clinical team, the same facility, a lower intensity. No starting over. Just moving forward.
