About Pinelands Recovery

Located in Medford, New Jersey, Pinelands Recovery provides residential substance abuse treatment for adults. 95% of Pinelands Recovery patients say they are a better person after their treatment. The center accepts most commercial insurance plans but not Medicaid, Medicare or New Jersey FamilyCare.

During residential treatment, you’ll be treated by a variety of experts including medical doctors, psychiatric nurse practitioners, mental health and addiction counselors, case managers and recovery coaches. I like that your family will have their own family counselor to help them get the ongoing support they need.

Your individual plan might involve group and individual therapy sessions as well as downtime for you to reflect and focus on self care. After you leave care, you get substance use support for a year after discharge.

If you need it, Pinelands offers medical detox. They ensure that you are as comfortable and safe as possible during withdrawal. On average, this process takes 5-14 days. This treatment takes place in a separate part of the facility where it is quiet and there are minimal distractions.

I like that Pinelands has a recovery coach program. Each client is paired with a primary therapist and a recovery coach. You’ll work closely with both. Your coach is someone who has gone through the treatment process and done training to know how to support those early in recovery. This resource is so valuable and can help boost your chances at long term success.

Heart icon Treatment at Pinelands Recovery

book iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in New Jersey is the process of addressing the complex issues involved with addiction. Challenges are identified and addressed through individual and group counseling. Participants learn how to manage these issues without the use of substances.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

file-medical iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

prescription-bottle-pill iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care at Pinelands Recovery

car-building iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

clipboard-medical iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. With medical stabilization, clients feel comfortable and cared for, so they want to continue the process of recovery. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

house-medical iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. Continuing IOP at one of our facilities involves a minimum 3 hours participation every day.

book-medical icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

house-medical iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

bed-front iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

truck-medical icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

people-group iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

hospital iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Rational Behavior Therapy

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Stay away

Stay away. They charged my card $400 for a test and not give me results when I left. Only because I had to leave on the 8th day. They would have kept my belongings for 3 days so I should have left on the 5th day to care for my very sick mom.

Pinelands is an exceptional place. The staff are incredibly dedicated and genuinely care about your success. My therapist, Niki, was outstanding professional, calm, knowledgeable, and genuine. The food was good, with snacks available anytime, and the facility was always clean. It felt like home away from home! Being surrounded by the woods made the experience even more special, offering a peaceful, close-to-nature feeling that was very healing. The wellness activities, like meditation, yoga, and the bi-weekly chiropractor visits, were fantastic and greatly enhanced my stay.Overall, my time at Pinelands exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a supportive and effective care environment.

I had the pleasure of going to this rehab for treatment. You are seen by a medical doctor and a psyc doctor immediately and detox is an absolute cake walk. I have detoxed several times and this was beyond easy and comfortable especially since I was coming off of opiates, benzos cocaine and alcohol. The facility is clean and the food is good with plenty of options 24/7. The staff there care about your recovery and will bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable. The are several different types of recovery offered including AA,NA, Refuge, Yoga, Meditation, Church, etc. The small groups are held every day and then you have one on ones and free time. If you cant get clean and have a good base after attending Pinelands then you dont want to get clean. Again, I was shocked at how easy withdrawing was there and how the patients, along with the staff, made this such a smooth comfortable experience for me. I smiled most of the time that I was there and have good friends that I stay in contact with. Thank you very much.

I m a little confused with Pinelands. I was a patient in 2021. I was concerned over a girl smoking for the first time at 18, & while as patients we convinced her not to, Monica, a staff member, encouraged she start so she can learn it s a bad habit instead against the patients. One staff member with red hair & red beard laughed & teased it was like a rehab romance, me caring about her like a little sister. I started crying until I couldn t breathe, stating I wanted to leave but everyone said to stay because it s best. The next day in group therapy, my therapist Shawn, I stated I m glad I stayed because if I was left, I d probably relapse & basically die. He understood & all patients were happy. I then mentioned to a staff member that it is illegal to smoke at 18 in NJ, it s 21. I asked her being on camera, what s going to happen? They said idk. The next next day, after 1 week & stating I left, I would relapse most likely & basically said my life is over. Instead, Shawn, (I think my case manager was Jason) & a higher up at pinelands declared I was kicked out & sent me to sober living. I didn t like sober living, so I left, relapsed, almost died numerous times & ended up in the psych ward a few times. Anyways, I just called, Jason & Shawn are gone, & I will probably never know why they kicked me out. The woman said she s new, & if I m sober isn t that ok? I said no, it feels like an injustice of the nation. That s all.

Pinelands exceeded any and all expectations I had about long-term treatment. The facility is impeccably maintained and comfortable. The food is excellent and diverse. The groups and activities are engaging and enlightening. But, by far, the staff are the crown jewels of Pinelands. I experienced genuine love and concern from the beginning to the end of my stay. I will cherish these people and the care they showed me forever. And I will seek to keep in touch and reconnect with them whenever possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
