100% onlineDual Diagnosis
When It’s More Than Addiction, We Treat Both.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder often drive substance use — treating one without the other rarely holds.
Our integrated approach
From day one, the same clinical team treats your substance use and your mental health as one condition — because for most people, they are. No bouncing between providers, no contradictory plans.
- One coordinated team — therapists and prescribers share a single plan.
- Trauma-informed therapy — CBT, DBT, and EMDR-trained clinicians.
- Built into every level of care — detox through outpatient.
Psychiatry on staff
Board-certified psychiatric providers evaluate, diagnose, and manage medication throughout treatment — so co-occurring conditions are actually treated, not just noted on a chart.

Reviews & Stories of Recovery
Reclaim Your Life | Rewrite Your Story.
From the people and families who walked this path before you.
“I was terrified of detox. The nurses checked on me constantly, the bed was comfortable, and for the first time in years I actually slept. I left with a plan — and I’ve stuck to it.”
James M. Alumni · Princeton Detox & Recovery Center
“We called about my brother at 2 a.m. and a real person answered, listened, and walked us through everything — insurance, transport, what to pack. He was admitted that afternoon.”
Danielle R. Family member of an alumni
“Eighteen months sober. What made the difference was that the same team stayed with me from detox through outpatient. I never fell through the cracks.”
Marcus T. Alumni · Guardian Recovery New Jersey

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call.
How long is inpatient rehab?
Most residential stays run 2 to 4 weeks, often following a 5-to-10-day detox. Length is set clinically — your team reviews progress with you each week and adjusts the plan to what you actually need.
Can I have my phone? Can family visit?
Policies are designed to protect your focus early on, with phone access and family visits typically expanding as you progress. Family contact is encouraged and structured — it’s part of the therapy, not a reward.
Can I keep my job while I get help?
Often, yes. Many clients use FMLA or short-term disability for detox and residential care, and our outpatient programs offer evening tracks designed around work schedules. Our team can walk you through the paperwork confidentially.
How much does inpatient rehab cost?
For most people with insurance, inpatient rehab can be covered in full or in large part. We verify your exact benefits for free before you commit to anything, and we offer self-pay rates and financing for those without coverage.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing for about a week, your ID and insurance card, and a list of current medications. We’ll send a complete packing list once your admission is scheduled — and we’ll tell you what to leave at home.
What happens after residential treatment?
You step down, not off a cliff — into PHP, IOP, or outpatient care at one of our five New Jersey outpatient offices, with your aftercare plan built before you discharge.
