Valley Spring Recovery Center was built on a simple conviction: recovery requires more than abstinence. It requires rebuilding the whole person — mind, body, and purpose. Located at 830 Broadway in Norwood, NJ, we deliver CARF-accredited outpatient addiction and mental health treatment through a progressive four-stage model that meets each patient exactly where they are.
Valley Spring was founded on the belief that traditional treatment approaches often fall short. We set out to build something better — a center where clinical excellence, genuine compassion, and whole-person care converge to create lasting change.
What sets Valley Spring apart is not a single innovation — it is an entire philosophy. We believe that recovery requires biological rehabilitation, not just abstinence. The brain must be rewired through neuroplasticity and pathway repair. The body must be restored through structured movement, nutrition, and sleep. And the person must rediscover purpose, connection, and the life skills needed to sustain independence.
That conviction led us to develop our four-stage progressive model — Restore, Activate, Accelerate, Thrive — a continuum of care that walks each patient from their most vulnerable moments through to confident, self-directed recovery. Advancement between stages is never automatic. It is earned through measurable progress, assessed case by case, because no two recovery journeys are alike.
Through a safe, supportive environment, innovative clinical approaches, and individualized care, we help our patients break free from addiction and mental health challenges, reclaim their purpose, and become healthy, thriving members of society. Our 8:1 therapist-to-patient ratio ensures that no one gets lost in the process.
A progressive care model built on measurable outcomes — not arbitrary timelines. Advancement is earned, not automatic.

LifelongValley Spring was purpose-built to address the gaps we saw in traditional outpatient care. Every differentiator below is a deliberate choice, not an afterthought.
Sleep, Movement, Trauma-Informed Nervous System Regulation, Psychoeducation, and Medication Literacy. Daily at 1 PM in Partial Care — biology-first recovery.
