The People Behind
Your Recovery

Valley Spring isn't a program you go through. It's a team that walks with you. We built this center on one belief: recovery happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported by other people who genuinely care.

Our Mission
"We are committed to empowering individuals who feel trapped in addiction or mental health challenges, offering them and their families a pathway to change."

At Valley Spring Recovery Center, our mission is to deliver the best substance use and mental health treatment in the Tri-State area. We're redefining traditional treatment approaches to provide real, personalized solutions that meet the unique needs of every patient.

Through a safe, supportive environment, innovative therapy, and individualized care, we help our patients break free from addiction, reclaim their purpose, and become healthy, thriving members of society.

We believe recovery requires biological rehab, not just abstinence. Our approach focuses on neuroplasticity and brain rewiring — restoring the mind, body, and soul through science-backed, whole-person treatment.

Our Treatment Model

Four Stages. One Journey.

Every patient progresses through our clinically-guided 4-stage model. Advancement is based on measurable progress — not a calendar.

1
Restore
Partial Care (PHP)
Mon-Sat, 9 AM - 3 PM. Stabilization for individuals transitioning from inpatient. Six hours of daily structure including process groups, psychoeducation, health & wellness, and catered meals.
When I stepped down from inpatient, I was terrified. Partial Care gave me that same level of structure while I rebuilt my daily life. — Rebecca M.
2
Activate
IOP (5 & 3 Day)
Mon-Fri evenings, 6 - 9 PM. Evening intensive outpatient designed for working professionals, parents, and students. Process groups, life skills, and real-world integration.
The five-day IOP was the perfect middle ground. I worked during the day and got treatment every evening. — Anthony P.
3
Accelerate
Virtual IOP & OP
3-5 days/week, virtual. Dedicated remote therapists, case managers, and facilitators deliver the same curriculum through a secure telehealth platform. Relapse prevention and ongoing wellness.
Virtual IOP let me get treatment without missing work. I got the same quality care I'd expect in person. — James T.
4
Thrive
Alumni — Family for Life
Monthly alumni meetings, quarterly outings, peer mentorship, and service opportunities. Recovery doesn't end at graduation — you're part of a family that doesn't give up on its members.
I graduated over a year ago, but I still come to the monthly meetings. These people are my family now. — Marcus D.
What Sets Us Apart

Why Families Choose Valley Spring

We built this center to fill the gaps that traditional treatment misses. Here's what makes the difference.

8:1

Intimate Therapist Ratio

Maximum 8:1 therapist-to-patient ratio means your clinician actually knows your name, your story, and your goals. Small process groups under 10 people ensure everyone is heard.

🧠

Health & Wellness 5 Pillars

Sleep, Movement, Trauma-Informed Regulation, Psychoeducation, and Medication Literacy. Including one of only 10 sleep specialists in the state of New Jersey on staff.

🤝

Life Skills That Stick

Five structured pillars — Community, Wellness, Stability, Relationships, and Purpose — targeting the real reasons people relapse: financial stress, isolation, no structure, and no sense of meaning.

🌊

Continuity of Care

Step down through every level within one system — from PHP to IOP5 to IOP3 to Virtual to Alumni. Same clinical team, same relationships, same commitment to your recovery.

👨‍⚕️

Dual-Licensed Clinicians

Our therapists are authorized for both SUD and Mental Health tracks. Whether you're facing addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or all of the above — you'll never be turned away or shuffled between departments.

👪

Together We Heal Family Program

A 6-session, 6-month family workshop open to the public. Narcan training, CRAFT communication, boundary setting, and trust rebuilding — because recovery is a family effort.

Our Core Values

What We Stand For

These six values guide every decision we make — from how we hire to how we treat every patient who walks through our doors.

🛡️

Integrity First

We do the right thing no matter what. Transparency with patients and families is non-negotiable.

🔥

Relentless Work Ethic

We work to better our patients' lives. Recovery is hard — and our team matches that effort every single day.

💛

Service Over Self

We serve each other and our clients with humility and care. This work is bigger than any one of us.

🤝

Respect Always

We treat everyone with dignity and value every perspective. No judgment, no stigma — just understanding.

🎯

Purpose-Driven Excellence

We work with intention and hold ourselves to a high standard. Every treatment plan, every group session, every interaction.

👥

Team Above Ego

Collaboration and unity guide our success. The best outcomes happen when the whole team moves together.

Accreditations & Licensing

Recognized. Accredited. Trusted.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards in the industry — and the organizations that evaluate treatment centers agree.
