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. Their philosophy is centered on the idea that recovery needs to be affordable, accessible, and deeply personal, blending cutting-edge research with a focus on long-term aftercare.

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

The outpatient programs at Avisa provide a bridge back to everyday life, offering a blend of continued therapy and independence. For those who need a bit more stability, Avisa offers supportive housing where residents can practice their recovery skills surrounded by peers. Beyond the outpatient programs, the team stays connected through alumni events and ongoing support groups, making sure the community built during treatment remains a lifelong safety net.

Lift the Fog of Depression with Spravato
Lift the Fog of Depression with Spravato
For those who feel like traditional antidepressants have failed them, Avisa Recovery offers Spravato, an FDA-approved nasal spray derived from ketamine that targets treatment-resistant depression. Unlike standard medications that can take months to show results, this treatment works on brain pathways to provide relief much faster.
Find Fun in Recovery
Find Fun in Recovery
At Avisa, some of the biggest breakthroughs happen in the saddle of a horse at their farm rather than in a therapy room. Through adventure therapies, clients swap old habits for the rush of white-water rafting, hiking, or even live concerts. These kinds of experiences prove that clients can have a blast while navigating the world in recovery.
Rebuild Routine with a Structured Day
Rebuild Routine with a Structured Day
Days at Avisa kick off at 9:00 AM with a spiritual check-in before diving into small groups, therapy, and medical sessions. At 3:00 PM, clinical work ends and the rest of the day begins. Whether hitting the gym, seeing a movie, or grocery shopping, this blend of structured healing and fun outings helps people finally enjoy life again.
Reclaim Peace in a Community that Understands the Cost of Service
Reclaim Peace in a Community that Understands the Cost of Service
In New Jersey, the people everyone relies on, like police officers, teachers, and nurses, often carry the heaviest weight in silence. Avisa Recovery offers a space where they don’t have to push through alone. The team understands the unique stress of public service and handles the EAP and insurance complications, so these local heroes can focus on themselves.
