"The first weeks after inpatient are the most fragile. Our MAT program builds the bridge between round-the-clock care and the independence of everyday life — six structured hours each day to stabilize, learn, and grow stronger."
Valley Spring's MAT program meets Per treatment plan, All program levels, giving you six dedicated hours of clinical treatment while you return home each evening. Designed for individuals stepping down from inpatient treatment or those who need intensive structure without residential care, this 4–6 week program combines evidence-based therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and holistic wellness to help you build a lasting foundation in recovery.
Real words from people who walked this path before you — and found their footing again.
"The structure of the PHP program gave me exactly what I needed. Six hours a day felt like enough to really dig into therapy without being overwhelming. The staff truly cared about my progress."
"Coming out of detox I was terrified. The small group sizes and personal attention at Valley Spring made all the difference. My counselor checked in constantly, and the catered lunches were a nice touch."
"The yoga, sound baths, and mindfulness sessions changed my perspective on recovery. It's not just about quitting — it's about building a whole new way of living. Valley Spring gets that."
Each day follows a carefully designed rhythm — clinical depth in the morning, wellness and personal growth in the afternoon. Groups stay small (fewer than 10) so every voice is heard.
Intimate groups of fewer than 10 clients. A clinician-guided space to share experiences, practice vulnerability, and develop coping skills through peer connection.
Structured learning about addiction neuroscience, relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and practical life skills. Knowledge becomes your armor.
A shared meal prepared for you each day. Breaking bread together builds bonds and takes one more thing off your plate during this critical time.
Yoga, sound baths, gym sessions, ice baths, stretching, mindfulness, hiking, reiki, meditation, and music therapy — rotating activities to nourish body and mind.
Choose from specialized tracks: art therapy, journaling workshops, anger management, relationship skills, or advanced relapse prevention based on your personal goals.
When clinically appropriate, our medical team prescribes FDA-approved medications to reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and support long-term recovery. All MAT is integrated with therapy — never used in isolation.
Within 72 hours of admission, your dedicated case manager begins coordinating every part of your life that recovery touches. Wednesday team meetings ensure your entire clinical team is aligned.
Every detail of this program was designed with one question in mind: what do people need most in their first fragile weeks of recovery?
Process groups of fewer than 10 clients ensure you are never lost in a crowd. Your story is heard, your progress tracked, your growth celebrated.
More clinicians per client than nearly any program in New Jersey. This means faster response, deeper therapeutic relationships, and individualized care plans.
Nutrition, yoga, sound baths, ice baths, mindfulness, hiking, reiki, music therapy — recovery heals the whole person, not just the addiction.
FDA-approved medications prescribed alongside therapy by our medical team. Suboxone, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Topamax available on site.
Your case manager is assigned within three days of admission. FMLA paperwork, court compliance, housing, return-to-work — all handled for you.
Per treatment plan treatment means faster stabilization. The extra day helps maintain momentum and reduces dangerous weekend gaps in early recovery.
Located at 830 Broadway in Norwood, NJ — just 20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge. A warm, thoughtfully designed space built for recovery.
Your journey through MAT follows a clear, research-backed progression. Each phase builds on the last — from stabilization to independent living.
Your first week focuses on a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment. We learn your story — medical history, substance use patterns, trauma, co-occurring disorders, family dynamics, and personal goals. Case management is assigned within 72 hours. MAT evaluation begins if appropriate. The goal is simple: feel safe, get oriented, begin to regulate.
With your foundation set, intensive therapeutic work begins. Daily process groups dive into CBT and DBT frameworks. Individual therapy sessions (1–2 per week) address your specific needs: trauma processing with EMDR, motivational interviewing for ambivalence, experiential therapy for emotional expression. Psychoeducation deepens your understanding of addiction's neuroscience.
Therapeutic gains are reinforced through real-life practice. Health & Wellness sessions help establish daily routines — nutrition, exercise, mindfulness. Case management addresses practical barriers: FMLA paperwork, return-to-work planning, court compliance, housing. Relapse prevention planning becomes more detailed and personalized.
As you prepare to step down to IOP or outpatient care, your clinical team collaborates on a comprehensive discharge plan. Alumni program connections are established, community support meetings identified, ongoing therapy arranged, and a personalized relapse prevention toolkit finalized. You leave with structure, not just hope.
