About BlueCrest Recovery Center

BlueCrest Recovery Center is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Woodland Park, New Jersey. They offer treatment to people with substance and alcohol use disorders. They also treat people who have mental health conditions in addition to addiction issues. They are an outpatient facility that offers several levels of care. You will be given a psychological evaluation to determine the appropriate treatment program.

They have a partial hospitalization program (PHP) which involves coming in every weekday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If you are in the intensive outpatient program (IOP), you will come in from 9:00 a.m. to noon or from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. They also have a standard outpatient program which involves coming in once or twice a week for treatment.

The thing that makes this place special is that it incorporates three different tracks to addiction treatment. They use a clinical approach, a spiritual approach and a holistic approach. Clinicians will treat you with evidence based therapy. However, they believe that a person must have spiritual nourishment and a purpose in order to stay sober.

Your treatment program will be customized to your needs. All clients have both group and individual therapy. They also offer alternative treatments such as yoga and meditation. They are firm believers in the 12 Step approach, so you’ll also take part in 12 Step therapy.

Bluecrest showed me how to see the reality of my addiction and the consequences that would follow if I didn't accept that I was powerless to my addiction. They guided me back to life and supported me. Without the experience of Bluecrest I would probably have lost everything and or ended up unlike.I can't express how much strength and hope I received from my time there. I will always be eternally grateful

Overall out of many treatment centers. Ive liked blue crest very much. The are very structured and stress the 12 step program and programs of NA and AA. The clinicians and staff seem to really care about you and your recovery. The case management as well takes great care of issues pertaining to housing, financial, legal and much more. Most of the staff are in recovery as well so you can relate to many. I would recommend Blue crest if you are interested in recovery and want to get help.

Accepted Insurance

BlueCrest Recovery Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient 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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients often enter inpatient rehab following detox, but they may also enroll during early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient rehabs provide housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Clients typically receive multiple individual, group, and/or family therapy sessions weekly. Many programs also offer extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative inpatient rehabs provide holistic therapies as well.
intensive-outpatient 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. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities. This program provides half-day treatment (Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:15 am to 12:30 pm).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient and are medically stable. These programs are designed to address addiction recovery as a life-long process. Outpatient counseling and recovery education are typically categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive support after being discharged from formal outpatient treatment. Case managers and recovery teams facilitate clients' access to peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program induction, and related services.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs engage in a rigorous process of personal growth as a cornerstone of long-term recovery. They are expected to attend anonymous, peer-led 12 step meetings, which are free, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not required. Self-selected peer sponsors mentor participants as they work through the 12 steps, learning forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and accountability.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
A sober living home in New Jersey is for individuals who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction issues. This type of halfway house residence is focused on helping individuals learn and apply the tools of recovery. The setting provides fellowship, support, and structure to prevent relapse. The homes are typically designed for either men or women, but some may offer space for women with their children.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in New Jersey is more than a confrontational conversation. This organized effort is specific and goal-oriented. During the intervention, family members share specific examples of how the person's addiction has impacted their lives and spell out what they will do if the individual does not get treatment. The intervention also presents a clear treatment plan, which typically involves input from intervention services.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term, intensive outpatient option designed for those with moderate to severe addictions who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment is often fully covered by insurance and provides structured programming (i.e. individual and group therapy). A typical partial hospitalization program can meet 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 20 hours, offering intensive treatment during the day while allowing you to return home after. PHP treatment duration can vary based on your progress but averages 90 days.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off addictive substances. When you become physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, quitting abruptly can cause a host of challenging and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand to monitor any symptoms, to provide medication if possible, and to help keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible throughout this process.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New Jersey typically follows a set structure of treatment. The therapist helps clients identify their life challenges and their thoughts surrounding those challenges. The client then learns to identify unhealthy thought patterns and reshape those into healthy patterns of thinking and behavior.

Dialectical means opposing. The premise of dialectical behavior therapy is to learn how two things that seem to be opposite can actually be true. You learn how to accept yourself while also making changes. The focus is on accepting your emotions and changing how you manage them.

Group therapy settings offer you a diverse perspective on addiction and recovery. People from a variety of backgrounds gather together to discuss their challenges and speak openly and in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. This enriches your experience and your understanding of addiction and recovery.

During individual therapy for drug addiction, patients receive a customized and tailored approach to understanding their unique circumstances and providing them with targeted interventions. These include coping skills, relapse prevention plans, and developing resilience, all of which are essential for long term recovery.

Motivational interviewing helps clients find their motivation to change. It can be an effective method to work with clients who are angry or hostile or feel insecure about their ability to make changes in their lives. It is often used during addiction treatment or to manage physical health conditions.

Trauma therapy provides a structure to approach healing from past traumatic events that you may have witnessed or experienced. Your therapist will work with you to identify and process these memories. This helps promote a sense of safety and stability and helps you heal emotionally.

Most experts in couples therapy are trained in several modes of treatment. This allows your therapist to draw from various techniques to personalize your therapy for your needs. This may include cognitive, emotional, and behavioral methods, which are all designed to help you strengthen your relationship.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Family therapy sessions address addiction related conflicts and other issues between members of the family unit. By strengthening communication and coping skills, as well as creating a nurturing environment, the family can help support their loved one's recovery.

Building life skills allows you to demolish negative patterns of behavior and build new, healthy patterns. By building new thought processes, coping strategies, and behaviors, you establish a solid foundation for recovery.

Nutrition therapy is more than a simple meal plan during rehab. It's designed to facilitate a faster recovery by giving your body the nutrients it needs to heal. It aids in strengthening your systems and giving you the energy you need for daily functioning and success in other therapies.

Recreational therapy is a dynamic approach to addiction treatment in New Jersey. It integrates activities like music therapy, team sports, and gardening so you have a therapeutic outlet for your emotions and stress. This improves your physical and mental health and helps you develop new skills to support a sober lifestyle.

BlueCrest has absolutely been a life-changing program for me. Going in, I was skeptical and unsure—my only frame of reference for rehab was what I’d seen in movies. I couldn’t have been more wrong. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with compassion, authenticity, and unwavering support. The staff at BlueCrest truly care—not just in a professional sense, but with a genuine, heartfelt commitment to helping every single client who comes through. One of the most powerful and unique aspects of this program is how they approach the Big Book and the 12 Steps. Rather than just skimming the surface, they teach it—really teach it—in a way that’s both accessible and deeply meaningful. I gained insights into recovery and into myself that I never imagined possible. This isn’t just a rehab facility—it’s a place where lives are rebuilt, where hope is restored, and where real transformation happens. I will forever be grateful for my time at BlueCrest. If you’re considering taking that first step, don’t hesitate—this place is the real deal.

Blue Crest takes a holistic approach to recovery, attacking the disease from all angles including family therapy, pathological matters and medical assistance. The staff and program are tremendous. As someone who sought out the best care and was willing to go to any length to get to Blue Crest, I can’t recommend enough

Being my first time in a treatment facility I believe that I could not have found a more beneficial place to come. From the center itself to the housing settings it has been an amazing, profound and eye opening experience. I trust all the staff, from top to bottom, have had nothing but my best interest at heart, from day one, to help in my recovery and to continue my journey of sobriety long after I have completed the program. I thank everyone for all the effort and hardwork that is put into the process and education groups and the more leisure activities that are planned to help break up the monotony of dealing with all of our singular, yet collective, issues, concerns and dilemmas. I am truly grateful and thankful for the program and its network of staff and alumni. I believe the most valuable, changed, perspective I will carry out the door and into my future is... NONE OF US ARE ALONE AND TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OUR SOBRIETY!
