Core Values We Live By
24/7
Admissions Support

People-First Intake

Program Coordinators meet and greet new patients as people first -- getting to know them before any paperwork begins. That philosophy starts with how we treat each other.

Alumni "Family For Life"

Monthly alumni meetings, quarterly outings (bowling, sports, escape rooms), peer mentorship, and community service projects that staff participate in too.

Holistic Wellness for Staff Too

The same yoga, sound baths, mindfulness, and wellness activities we offer patients are woven into our staff culture. We practice what we teach.

Together We Heal

Our 6-session family workshop is open to the public and all Valley Spring families -- staff get to see the wider impact of their work on entire communities.

6 Core Values We Live By

Click any value to expand and discover how it shapes our daily work. These are not just words on a wall -- they guide every decision we make.

01

Integrity First

We do the right thing no matter what.

At Valley Spring, integrity means transparent communication with patients, families, and each other. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical standards in addiction and mental health treatment. Every clinical decision, every patient interaction, every team conversation is guided by doing what is right -- not what is easy.

02

Relentless Work Ethic

We work to better our patients' lives.

Recovery is not a 9-to-5 journey, and neither is our commitment. Our team goes beyond session hours to ensure patients have the support, resources, and advocacy they need. From case managers navigating FMLA paperwork to therapists refining individualized treatment plans, every team member brings a relentless dedication to patient outcomes.

03

Service Over Self

We serve each other and our clients with humility and care.

Service Over Self means prioritizing the needs of patients and teammates before personal agendas. It is why our Program Coordinators greet new patients as people first -- before any paperwork. It is why our clinicians facilitate small groups under 10, ensuring every voice is heard. This value is the heartbeat of our "Family For Life" culture.

04

Respect Always

We treat everyone with dignity and value every perspective.

Respect is non-negotiable at Valley Spring. We honor the courage it takes for patients to walk through our door. We value diverse clinical perspectives in our Wednesday treatment team meetings. We respect the expertise of every role -- from Program Coordinators to Medical Directors -- because recovery is a team effort.

05

Purpose-Driven Excellence

We work with intention and hold ourselves to a high standard.

CARF accreditation, A+ BBB rating, and #1 ranking in Best of New Jersey are not just accolades -- they are the result of intentional, excellent work at every level. Our 4-stage progressive model means patients advance based on measurable progress, not arbitrary timelines. That same standard of measured excellence applies to how we develop our staff and programs.

06

Team Above Ego

Collaboration and unity guide our success.

No single person saves a life in recovery -- the team does. Our Dual-Licensed Matrix allows clinicians to cross departmental boundaries. Our weekly treatment team meetings match patients with the best-fit therapist, not the most convenient one. When you join Valley Spring, you join a team where collaboration is not a buzzword -- it is how we operate.
