Our Outpatient Program (OP) delivers a full spectrum of evidence-based therapies and support services, designed to stabilize and strengthen individuals transitioning from inpatient care or those requiring intensive outpatient intervention.
MAT Medications: Suboxone, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Topamax — administered and monitored by our medical director.
From your first day, you'll be welcomed into an intimate, structured environment designed for high-risk individuals who need intensive support without residential confinement. Here's what the journey looks like:
Day 1: Welcome orientation, initial clinical screening, and assignment to your primary therapist. You'll meet your case manager and receive your personalized schedule.
Within 72 Hours: A full biopsychosocial assessment is completed. Your case manager begins handling external logistics — FMLA paperwork, short-term disability, return-to-work letters, court/DUI documentation, housing referrals, and medical appointment coordination.
Week 1: You'll settle into the daily rhythm of process groups, psychoeducation, and wellness activities. Your individual therapy sessions (1 hour each, 1-2x per week) begin, and your treatment plan is finalized during the Wednesday team meeting.
Ongoing: With an 8:1 therapist-to-patient ratio, you receive deeply personalized care. The Monday-through-Saturday schedule runs 1-2 evenings/week, virtual, giving you evenings to practice the skills you learn in a real-world setting.
Every day follows a purposeful rhythm. Our 6-hour program runs from 1-2 evenings/week, virtual, balancing clinical depth with restorative activities.
Recovery doesn't end when your PHP program concludes. We design a clear transition pathway to ensure lasting sobriety and continued growth.
Most PHP graduates transition to our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), reducing to 3-5 days per week while maintaining therapeutic momentum.
Lifetime access to our alumni network, peer support events, and ongoing connection with the recovery community you built during treatment.
We partner with vetted sober living facilities for patients who need structured housing support during and after their program.
Your case manager assists with return-to-work letters, disability documentation, and transition planning to help you re-enter your professional life.
Each advantage represents a core operational principle that sets our Outpatient Program (OP) apart from other treatment centers in New Jersey.
Unlike large facilities where you're one of dozens, our intimate ratio ensures your therapist knows your story, your triggers, and your goals — delivering truly personalized treatment every single day.
Large groups breed silence. Our morning process groups cap at fewer than 10 participants, creating the safety needed for genuine vulnerability and deep interpersonal healing.
No waiting weeks for a treatment plan. Within three days of admission, our clinical team completes a comprehensive assessment covering biological, psychological, and social factors driving your addiction.
Our proprietary Health & Wellness framework addresses five essential pillars: Sleep Hygiene, Movement, Trauma Regulation, Education, and Medication Literacy — treating the whole person, not just the addiction.
CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, experiential therapy, and trauma counseling — our clinical approach combines gold-standard modalities with individualized application for maximum effectiveness.
Medication-Assisted Treatment with Suboxone, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Topamax — administered under the supervision of our board-certified medical director to reduce cravings and prevent relapse.
Your case manager handles everything outside the therapy room — FMLA paperwork, short-term disability claims, return-to-work letters, court and DUI documentation, housing referrals, and medical appointment coordination.
Six days of programming per week provides the intensive structure that high-risk individuals need during early recovery, while Sundays allow for rest, reflection, and real-world practice of newly learned skills.
The final hour of each day belongs to you. Choose from rotating elective topics — art therapy, journaling, career planning, life skills, mindfulness — giving you agency in your own recovery process.
Beyond traditional therapy: yoga, sound baths, gym access, ice baths, stretching, mindfulness meditation, hiking, reiki, and music therapy all woven into your treatment plan as powerful complementary healing tools.

Outpatient, also called Outpatient (PHP), is the highest level of outpatient treatment available. At Valley Spring, PHP provides 6 hours of structured clinical programming per day, 1–2 evenings/week. It's designed for individuals transitioning from inpatient/detox settings or those who need intensive stabilization without 24-hour residential care. You attend during the day and return home in the evenings.
The Outpatient Program (OP) typically runs Ongoing, though your exact timeline depends on your clinical progress and individual treatment plan. Your treatment team reviews your progress every Wednesday to adjust care intensity and determine when you're ready to step down to IOP.
Each day runs from 1-2 evenings/week, virtual. It begins with small process groups (under 10 people), followed by psychoeducational sessions, a catered lunch, Health & Wellness group activities (yoga, sound baths, mindfulness, etc.), and ends with patient-choice elective groups. Individual therapy sessions occur 1-2 times per week.
Valley Spring accepts 16 major insurance providers including Horizon, Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, BCBS, UHC, Tricare, and more.

Yes. Our Medical Director, Dr. Michael Olla, supervises MAT protocols including Suboxone, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Topamax. Medications are prescribed based on individual assessment to reduce cravings, manage withdrawal, and support long-term recovery. MAT is integrated with therapy — medication alone is never the complete answer.
PHP provides 6 hours of treatment per day, 6 days per week — nearly double the intensity of IOP. PHP is designed for individuals who need more structured support, particularly those coming directly from detox or inpatient facilities. IOP typically meets 3-5 days per week for 3 hours per day, and is the step-down level after PHP.
Because PHP runs 1–2 evenings/week, 1-2 evenings/week, virtual, it requires a temporary pause from most work schedules. However, your case manager will assist with FMLA paperwork, short-term disability claims, and return-to-work letters to protect your employment during treatment. For working professionals, we also offer an evening IOP option as a step-down.
Our clinical team utilizes CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Motivational Interviewing, experiential therapy, and specialized trauma counseling. Additionally, our wellness program includes yoga, sound baths, ice baths, meditation, reiki, hiking, and music therapy.
Most patients start within 24 hours of their initial phone call. Our admissions team is available 24/7 at (201) 781-8812. The process involves a brief phone screening, insurance verification (takes minutes), and scheduling your first day. Within 72 hours of starting, you'll have a complete biopsychosocial assessment and personalized treatment plan.
