About Avisa Recovery
Avisa Recovery, in Toms River, NJ, helps people navigate mental health and addiction, whether those challenges exist together or one is the primary focus. With specialized licenses for both, they provide a path for someone struggling with deep depression just as effectively as someone fighting a substance use disorder. Whether a person needs 24/7 residential care or the flexibility of evening sessions while living in supportive housing, they offer support for both.
Join a Supportive Community for the Long Haul
Avisa Recovery is built on the lived experience of what works when traditional methods fail. Avisa has created a community where medical experts and professionals work together to treat the whole person.

Lower Stress in a Space Designed for Relaxation
The space at Avisa is designed to feel like a comfortable space where someone can relax. The bedrooms are a great place to decompress after a long day of clinical work. Common areas are open and welcoming, filled with couches and spaces meant for hanging out and talking, rather than just waiting around. And the pool out back is available for a refreshing dip whenever clients want to relax.
Navigate What’s Next with a Plan

For those who need a bit more stability, Avisa offers supportive housing where residents can practice their recovery skills surrounded by peers.
