About Footprints to Recovery New Jersey
Footprints to Recovery New Jersey helps clients take their first steps, then longer strides, to walk a sober path on their own. Clients find evidence-based outpatient programs, tailored to their needs, goals, and circumstances. Footprints’ comprehensive approach addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—to guide clients through recovery with empathy, respect, and compassion.
Experience Traditional & Alternative Therapies
Footprints’ clinical program includes traditional therapies like individual, group, and family therapy that use a range of evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). In doing so, they help clients address underlying issues and develop healthy coping mechanisms. They also incorporate alternative therapies like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), massage therapy, yoga, acupuncture, chiropractic services, psychodrama, and fitness sessions to promote overall wellness.
Move Forward With the Right Level of Care
Footprints to Recovery offers 3 levels of outpatient treatment, allowing clients to focus on recovery while living at home or in sober living and maintaining daily responsibilities. In day treatment (also called partial hospitalization, PHP), clients attend treatment 4-6 hours a day, 5 days a week, for individual therapy sessions, group therapy, experiential approaches, and addiction education. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides 9-15 hours of treatment per week and includes individual and group sessions. Their outpatient program (OP) offers 3 hours of treatment once or twice weekly.
Find Support & Encouragement as an Alum
Footprints provides continuing care and resources to clients who have finished their outpatient program. Clients receive an individualized aftercare plan that can help them stay sober as they return to everyday life.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone
Methadone
Dolophine®, Methadose®
Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.
Naltrexone
Naltrexone
Vivitrol®, Revia®
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.
It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.
Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine
Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.
Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not provide MAT.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
