About The Recovery Team - New Jersey
Founded 30 years ago, The Recovery Team in Mountainside, NJ, helps clients get their lives back on track through evidence-based addiction and mental health treatment in a supportive, modern setting. They offer personalized care through detox, residential, and outpatient programs that use both time-tested and innovative therapies. They offer tracks for substance use and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma-related disorders.
Access Innovative & Holistic Treatment Options
Treatment at The Recovery Team meets clients where they’re at with the most advanced therapies in the country, many of which are simply not available at other treatment centers. Each client has access to a full spectrum of proven treatment options, including personalized counseling and interventions like transcranial magnetic stimulation, Spravato ketamine therapy, and GeneSight testing. They balance intensive therapies with holistic care, like equine therapy, yoga, and Reiki, to keep the experience as effective yet enjoyable as possible.
Take Advantage of Well-Rounded Comforts
Located in the foothills of Mountainside, New Jersey, The Recovery Team offers a quiet, supportive retreat for healing close to home. Whether clients are nourishing their bodies with chef-prepared, professionally catered meals, finding clarity through guided meditation, or unwinding in fresh, comfortable spaces kept immaculate by housekeeping and laundry services, they have everything they need to focus on their well-being without distraction.
Stay Supported After Treatment
The Recovery Team ensures clients receive the best possible care even after leaving the facility. Aftercare plans are specifically tailored to fit the client’s life outside of rehab, and the alumni community is available at no cost. Their team also provides resources like job search assistance, guidance in finding healthy sober-living environments, and more.
