"At Valley Spring Recovery, our mission is to deliver the best substance use & mental health treatment in the Tri-State area, redefining traditional treatment approaches to provide real, personalized solutions that meet the unique needs of every patient."
We are committed to empowering individuals who feel trapped in addiction or mental health challenges, offering them and their families a pathway to change. Through a safe, supportive environment, innovative staff and therapy, and individualized care, we help our patients break free from addiction, reclaim their purpose, and become healthy, thriving members of society.
Located at 830 Broadway in Norwood, NJ, Valley Spring serves Bergen County and the greater Tri-State area with CARF-accredited outpatient programs that meet each patient exactly where they are in their recovery journey.
Valley Spring Recovery Center was founded on a simple conviction: traditional treatment approaches were leaving too many people behind. We saw a gap between what patients needed and what most outpatient centers offered — and we set out to close it.
Most treatment centers treated recovery as a checklist. We believed it should be a structured journey with clear stages, measurable progress, and real-world skills for lasting independence.
We developed our Restore, Activate, Accelerate, Thrive framework — a progressive system where patients advance based on measurable improvement, not arbitrary timelines.
We recruited 19 dedicated clinicians, counselors, and support staff — maintaining an 8:1 therapist-to-patient ratio so every individual receives truly personalized attention.
CARF accreditation, #1 Best of New Jersey recognition, an A+ BBB rating, and NAATP membership — proof that our approach delivers results.
Recovery requires biological rehab, not just abstinence. We believe in rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity and pathway repair — integrating health, wellness, and neuroscience-informed practices into every aspect of treatment.
Our whole-person approach addresses not just substance use, but the underlying mental health conditions, life skills deficits, and relationship challenges that drive relapse. We don't just help patients get sober — we teach them how to live after treatment.
"Most treatment centers treat life skills as an afterthought. Valley Spring built a structured 5-pillar curriculum that directly targets the real reasons people relapse: financial stress, broken relationships, isolation, no structure, and no sense of purpose."
Through our Health & Wellness 5 Pillars (Sleep, Movement, Trauma-Informed Regulation, Psychoeducation, Medication Literacy) and Life Skills 5 Pillars (Community, Wellness, Stability, Relationships, Purpose), we build the foundation patients need to thrive long after treatment ends.
Advancement is based on measurable progress, not arbitrary timelines. Click each stage to explore the journey from stabilization to lifelong thriving.
Stabilization for individuals transitioning from inpatient care. Six hours per day, six days per week of structured therapeutic programming. The goal: regulate, rebuild, and reinforce a foundation in mind, body, and soul.
Evening programs designed for working professionals, parents, and students. Process groups, psychoeducation, real-world skill building, and life skills training prepare patients for independence while maintaining clinical support.
Relapse prevention, virtual groups, and ongoing wellness support. All staff are fully remote-trained and dedicated. The focus shifts to maintaining momentum and building sustainable independence through community and peer mentorship.
Thrive in recovery. Thrive in community. Thrive for life. Monthly alumni meetings at the facility, speaker series, sober socials, and quarterly outings including professional sports, bowling, go-kart racing, and escape rooms.

Unlike programs that move patients through levels based on time alone, our advancement is based on measurable progress, insurance authorizations, symptom presentation, and functional improvement. Each stage builds on the last, creating genuine forward momentum.
Our 8:1 therapist-to-patient ratio ensures every patient receives truly personalized attention. Morning process groups are kept under 10 people for intimate, meaningful therapeutic work — not the 20-30 person groups common at other centers.
Recovery requires biological rehab, not just abstinence. Our Health & Wellness program integrates yoga, sound baths, reiki, music therapy, gym workouts, ice baths, hiking, and mindfulness into clinical care — rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity.
Our 5-pillar Life Skills curriculum targets the real reasons people relapse: financial stress, broken relationships, isolation, no structure, and no sense of purpose. Community, Wellness, Stability, Relationships, and Purpose — not an afterthought, but a core component.
Sleep is the #1 cause of stress and anxiety in recovery. Valley Spring employs one of only 10 sleep specialists in the state of New Jersey — a resource virtually no other outpatient treatment center can offer.
Dedicated case managers handle FMLA paperwork, short-term disability documentation, union relations, and return-to-work letters. Evening IOP scheduling (6-9 PM) means you never have to choose between treatment and your career.
These aren't words on a wall — they guide every clinical decision, every staff interaction, and every patient outcome. Click any value to explore.
We do the right thing no matter what. Every treatment decision, every patient interaction, every clinical recommendation is grounded in honesty and ethical practice.
We work to better our patients' lives with tireless dedication. Recovery demands persistence, and our team models that same commitment every single day.
We serve each other and our clients with humility and care. Ego has no place in healing — our patients' needs always come before our own.
We treat everyone with dignity and value every perspective. Addiction doesn't discriminate, and neither do we. Every patient deserves to be seen and heard.
We work with intention and hold ourselves to a high standard. From CARF accreditation to individual treatment plans, excellence isn't aspirational — it's expected.
Collaboration and unity guide our success. Weekly treatment team meetings, dual-licensed staff working across SUD and MH tracks, and a shared mission keep us aligned.
