Best North Brunswick, NJ Drug Rehab Centers

The alumni program at RCA Raritan Bay, is such an amazing program. Marguerite goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. The alumni group is the most supportive, and loving community. It truly feels like a family. There is just a special connection that is unlike anything I've ever seen. Truly grateful to be a part of it.

I had a wonderful experience at RCA. I am so grateful to all the staff and all the facilitators that went the extra mile.

Truly an amazing program with great staff. If you need help, they will give you the resources you need and bend over backwards to help you. Being LGBTQ+, our community faces a number of hardships that can really make sobriety a challenge. Recovery Centers of America understands this and many other special situations and accommodates accordingly. They truly are great people. Shout out to Jason for checking in on me and making sure I got to where I needed to go. Thank you, sir!

My grandfather is there at the long term care home facility nothing but great care and service there for him there so far he’s been there since September

I have been receiving medical treatment at Lyons and East Orange for over 12 years.. and have interacted with many medical professionals and staff.. in any large hospital setting, you will encounter dedicated people and sometimes, some that are just not smart enough to gargle. I recently had shoulder surgery and I rate it 5 stars 110%. Drs, nurses, staff were outstanding and the scheduling was perfect. God Bless all those who take care of us veterans at both hospitals.

I called up there about my dad and I was transferred to a Nursing supervisor by the name of Gwen Martin. Ms. Martin was so professional and she answered all my questions. She took it upon herself to go checkup on my dad. She reassured me that my dad would be taken care of and she even called me back to make sure that all my concerns were addressed.

I was in for shoulder surgery. Everything went well. The care that was given by the staff, nurses, etc.. professional, attentive and caring! TY!

Managing health issues are always a difficult, but I have found the people and facilities at Riverview make every effort to make these moments as easy on you as possible. Valet your car at the front door, register at the front desk, take in the sweeping views of the river, and be seen by doctors, nurses, and the all the other staff members who make you feel like a real-life person they care about helping rather than a cog in the machine of their business. Dr Ciervo and team saved my life in a medical emergency a few years ago and I will never forget how compassionate they were through the entire process. I also highly recommend the Women's Center for annual screenings and follow up procedures as Dr Borofsky and her team - specifically Tiffany, Lisa, Doris and Danielle - were a dream team and provided the kind of top-notch care that all women deserve. Edit: Removed a star as admin and billing required some corrections. Wherever you go, be your own advocate!

Mike from security is so nice! He offered to wheel me to get my mri disc when he didn’t have to but he was super nice and helped me anyways. Everyone in here is sooo nice and always caring. Thank you Mike!

Great place for veterans who deserve it

Always good people there. I hope they all get to stay

The doctors are professional and helpful. They really care about the veterans health.

Sean, my therapist is a straight shooter, great communicator, and an asset to your team. The whole team treated me with kindness and respect. Great first week of sobriety, one week, then one day at a time 🙏🏼 Mark C.

The place was clean and secure. I was able to get the help I needed. Towards the end the institute was going through restructuring which impacted my stay quite a bit but overall it was a good experience.

Staff are very attentive and caring. Facility has a friendly vibe and is professionally run.

Overall a great clinical program. The sober living that is linked is clean and up to date. Very helpful program. Plenty of resources to help me recover.

Amazing place I will recommend it to anyone. I love this place ❤️

Footprints has literally saved my life. The are knowledgeable and caring on a personal level.

Relevance Treatment Center was a necessary step in my recovery to secure sobriety and live a life worth living. Their PHP, IOP programs helped me to regain tools and skills to support my mental & physical health. I have been struggling very much and when I arrived, I was met with the upmost respect, care, support and kindness. It is a comfortable & safe environment for those struggling with mental health issues, substance addictions, etc. and it is all owed to the loving staff. In their own respective manners, the amazingly sweet receptionist LeaAnn made the environment feel warm and friendly from the very beginning, she always said good morning and how is your day, truly caring about how you felt and being honest, it was hard for her not to make your day better. The technician and maintenance team involving the hilarious and comforting Joe & Rob would always find a solution to any of our needs and make us priority #1, yet would always have some time to talk and joke around with us during our groups in between groups. They are tremendous and I thank them for making rough days better. Words cannot describe the level of care and effort put by the clinical team, but Chelsea, Gracie, Henry, Monika, Josh, Julie & Victoria (Both case managers who helped individual clients with housing, financial, income, etc.) were monumental in my recovery and ability to cope with my issues in life. I am grateful for the work they do and their passion behind every intent. I felt validated everyday and I cannot thank them enough. The medical team including Dr. Paul Gazzara, nurse practitioner Latifah Oparison & Nurse Patty were incredibly helpful and understanding in the medications that were necessary for me in my beginning stages of recovery. Everyone in the admissions team including John, Gina, Dan & Tabitha made the initial steps very easy to grasp and helped throughout the way. They helped majorly ease any financial burden. Clinical directors Jess & Melanie deal with a lot of work and not often did I see them, yet they always made time for anyone to come and talk about any issues or just to have a conversation with them. They are incredibly kind and amazing at their field of work, they care and I am very grateful. Would definitely recommend for those who have or are currently with mental health/substance abuse. In my experience of rehab centers, detox, sober living, this has been one of the greatest.

Despite after reading some negative reviews, both my daughter, Elizabeth, and I cannot say enough about Relavance ! From the first phone call I received from Gina, & completing my intake with Leah Ryan, on 2/10/25, both my daughter, and I knew, this was the solution for me to get better.❤️‍🩹 From day one, everyone in this facility made me feel welcomed, important, and not to mention , safe enough to open up, share my heartaches, without being judge or embarrassed. I have learned so much about myself, and for the first time, in a very long time, not only am I “Worthy,” but I am “Important,” and I don’t need a supplement of any kind to achieve this. When people say, “First impressions mean the most,” what I experienced on my first day. It made all the difference to my world. I have, and will continue to recommend Relevance House in Freehold New Jersey, to anyone who is seeking help. “I’m not just a spokesperson, I am a client 😜” Did I mention most of the staff got my sense of humor. Thanking you from the bottom of both my daughter, Elizabeth, and my heart ♥️ Annette Thornton

I'm writing this review to express my sincere appreciation for Chris Vallecillo, a clinician who truly made a difference in my treatment at Relevance. I worked with Chris for a significant period, and his approach to therapy was incredibly effective for me. Chris has a unique ability to connect with you on a personal level while maintaining a professional and insightful demeanor. He created a comfortable and trusting environment where I felt safe to openly discuss my challenges. His guidance was always practical and actionable, helping me develop coping mechanisms and strategies that genuinely improved my well-being. I particularly valued his ability to listen intently and offer perspectives that I hadn't considered, which was crucial for my progress. I was genuinely disappointed to learn that Chris is no longer working at Relevance. His departure is a significant loss for the facility, as his expertise and compassionate approach are truly exceptional. For anyone seeking a clinician who is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to their patients' success, Chris Vallecillo is, in my experience, outstanding. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors and hope that others will have the opportunity to benefit from his incredible support as I did.

Amazing staff definitely recommend

Sent my brother there and he has stayed clean and sober for more than a year. Really great place with amazing staff

Soba saved my life. Through the detox into residential, staff was attentive and showed they cared about us clients and even at the higher level Mike C. made sure we were all taken care of and even went out of his way to set up snack/movie nights and ordered take out once a week which was always good. Anyone looking for a rehabilitation center should check out Soba in New Brunswick. Ill be back to flaunt my sobriety for alumni nights!

Supportive and non judgement staff at Brentwood location. Very clean and group sessions were great. They truly make you feel like a human being a person. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Absolutely the best facility and most caring people I’ve ever come across. Shout out to everyone at the nurses station for holding it down for me when I was at my lowest. I am not a fan of any facility whatsoever but these guys genuinely do it right. Can’t thank y’all enough. Best nursing staff ever

I was real nervous to come here at first, but the staff made it real comfortable for me real fast! Clara is a godsend and such a beautiful soul kept checking in on me every time she came in for her shift kept telling me “you can do this, one day at a time” Jen and Glen the nurses were amazing, also all the techs were real cool def made you feel good, if you need any help def check out sunrise in stirling! You won’t be disappointed, thanks again guys you changed my life love you all!

Very professional and educational.

High focus is an awesome place and Chris k is a great clinician.

We are beyond grateful for the incredible care and support our son received at High Focus in Freehold—especially from Tim and Nurse Practitioner Natalie. Tim has been nothing short of amazing. From the start, he connected with our teen in a way that was both compassionate and effective. He created a safe, trusting space that allowed our son to begin working through his anxiety and emotional struggles. Week by week, we saw real growth—not just in how our son managed tough emotions, but in how he began to view himself and the world around him. What truly stood out was how available and supportive Tim has been—not just for our son, but for us as parents. He was always willing to take the time to talk, listen, and guide us through how best to support our child at home. His dedication and empathy made such a difference for our entire family. We’re also incredibly thankful for Natalie, the nurse practitioner who worked one-on-one with our son and gave him so much thoughtful, personalized attention. Her calm, steady presence and willingness to meet him where he was helped him open up in ways we hadn’t seen before. Her insights and guidance were invaluable throughout this process. Together, Tim and Natalie created a team that helped our son take real steps toward healing—and gave us the support we needed along the way. We can’t thank them enough. If you’re looking for professionals who genuinely care and go above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend the team at High Focus Freehold.

Good Afternoon, I was a Discovery Institute in 2022 and enjoyed the services that they have provided to me and the staff tremendous on point In helping those who wanted to be helped and that alone I appuled the staff who has reached me in so many ways and as of today I have 3yrs of my sobriety and it feels wonderful keeping what was I told stay sober one day at a time. And To God Be The Glory!! 🙏

If you want to dry out.. This is the place for you!

Discovery's expert care started me on my current five months of sobriety.

Thank you for the best experience after my mom’s recent major surgery! The care was exceptional. Dr. Hunt and the entire surgical team including the residents were nothing but kind and professional, especially medical student Sara Solomon! Thank you to the PACU nurse Michelle Derr for making my mom so comfortable and allowing me to sit with her. Thank you to the staff on Deskovick A for everything, including aide Marlene and housekeeping Grace for your kindness always. Thank you RN Jessica S for your patience, timeliness, clear explanations, and doing everything to keep her comfortable. Special thanks and shoutout to RN Victoria who took care her the first night- you made an extremely scary and stressful night SEAMLESS and set the tone for her entire stay. You are truly an angel and the hospital is so lucky to have you! It’s also worth noting how much we appreciated all staff knocking and introducing themselves, the delicious food, the friendly staff who delivered the meals, the affordable guest trays, the pantry options, the individualized menu sheet for her therapeutic diet, the educational videos at discharge, the efficiency of the discharge lounge, and the friendliness of the transporter who took her to the car. We have been to many hospitals and healthcare facilities dealing with both acute and chronic health issues and this was truly #1. Thanks so much!

The nurses at the labor and delivery department are incredible! We came across the most compassionate nurse, Debbie, who spent almost the entire night following my daughter’s birth looking after both myself and my baby. She spent hours helping the baby latch on to feed and checked on me every hour. The entire experience from the reception to labor and delivery and the days following my baby’s birth are marked with incredible memories of extremely professional people who seemed to really care and enjoy what they do! We are very grateful! Thank you~ The one negative thing about the room was that there was no space for my husband to lie down at night and get some rest.

Great experience with pediatric emergency department. Staff were empathetic and my son was well cared for.

Amazing place really made a difference in my life.I’ve been here since February recently turned 20 in August and it’s just a great place all around they actually care about you and want you to truly do good ,it’s a blessing to have other people who are there for u mentally and care for you and your recovery process!

This place ..and it's employees completely changed my life for the better .

By far the best place around. If your serious about your recovery, this is the place. It’s not just all about the medication, it’s about the staff as well. My counselor, Sharece T saved my life. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and treats people as an individual, not a group, because we’re all different. She really took the time to get to know me and get to the root of the problem and checks up regularly to see if everything’s going well. I’ve been to many places, doctors, meetings and rehabs. No one has ever understood me better, witch is very important in recovery so you can be treated accordingly. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m extremely grateful and blessed for my counselor Sharece. A huge thanks to this organization and most importantly, my counselor.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ High Focus Centers - Cranford I can’t say enough good things about my experience at High Focus in Cranford! From day one, the staff made me feel welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. The group therapy sessions were not only helpful but also gave me a real sense of community and understanding. The atmosphere is warm, non-judgmental, and the clinicians really take time to listen and work with you on your individual journey. I walked in feeling hopeless and left with tools, confidence, and most importantly, hope. If you’re on the fence about getting help, take the leap. High Focus really can make a difference. 💙

I am excited to share that I graduated from their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in June 2025. After years of suffering from corporate burnout, I reached my tipping point and realized I needed help. I am beyond grateful that I found this facility and put in the work to get better. With the help of their staff, I learned how much pain I was allowing myself to endure in regard to my mental well-being. I now recognize how important it is to take care of your mental health. In most cases the state of your mind can manifest physically – resulting in difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, digestive issues, etc. We all experience stressors in life, but how we choose to deal with them may vary. Unless people are aware and accepting of the benefits of therapy, most individuals typically choose to address their burdens with unhealthy coping mechanisms such as emotional eating, self-harm, or substance abuse just to name a few. I’d like to recognize and praise the clinicians on staff who helped create a safe and informative space for their patients. Their multifaceted approach to treatment helped educate and address our individual needs. During group therapy, I learned/practiced healthier coping skills with other patients to better prepare myself for stressful situations. In individual therapy, my dedicated clinician (Wilfred Montemayor, LSW) helped me uncover and address the traumas in my life that were contributing to my old and harmful ways of managing stress. Lastly, their onsite psychiatrist (Dr. Jeffrey Hall MD) was both knowledgeable and patient when it came to prescribing medications when and if necessary. I never felt pressured to participate in activities or undergo medication, but I always felt informed and empowered to challenge myself to get better. If you are ever in doubt about seeking mental health treatment, please know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone. No matter how monstrous your life problems can be, we can all relate to the feelings they instill in us. The professionals of this facility, and even the patients, are here to help you and you owe it to yourself to live your best life!

This is a wonderful Organization that has more than exceeded my expectations, especially, after an awful experience through Princeton House. When I began my program I was angry and felt unseen and unheard. And today, I am beaming with pride in myself. Best wishes to everyone doing their own self discovery journey, may you consider using any High Focus Facility.

My son droped me here after years of strugglin... Now look at me. One year clean. God bless them folks at the recovery cnt. They care like family.

SHOUT OUT to the staff here..I have been to many many rehabs, and there is something different about these people, and this place..they are in my opinion, Earth Angels. No judgement, they really just want to help and are good humans! Also, the way they go about treatment, I felt really cared about , from the 1st day. I need a higher level of treatment but I will be going to Outpatient there after.. I can't recommend this place enough. They have no hard chairs that your ass goes numb from sitting in for hours, they have leather, lazy boy chairs, in the entire place, they have a quite room where you can rest if you are detoxing or dont feel good, they feed you great food, they have snacks and sodas and I was literally told "think of this place as your home away from home" and from the clinical staff, the nursing staff, the Dr., they're all special people. xoxoxoxo

RecoveryCNT is a place of hope. The staff is incredibly compassionate and professional, and they truly understand what people struggling with addiction need. I’ve seen so many lives change for the better here.

Phoenix Behavioral Health is a well-rounded PHP and IOP. I credit my successful completion to a structured CBT and DBT program and the quality of its staff. The behavioral health specialists and clinicians care and encouraged my individual and personal reasons for recovery. If you are struggling reach out to Phoenix Behavioral Health. You will be cared for from the first call.

I can't express my journey in this facility the conversation help me with a lot understanding why I was holding on to so much in my life they help me with my decision growth also meeting new people that have some of the same issues in my life.Its also a safe place to be in.

This is a great place the clinical staff was very knowledgeable, warm and friendly, well trained. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. Special shoutout to my personal clinician Isabel M. Mora, for her keen insight and easy flow style in getting me to open up and express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I’ve never opened up to anyone like that before. And I’m glad I did and Isabel made it easy for me to do so. This is a great place. 💯

I have been coming to Stress Care for several years now and at first it was a little rocky but about six months ago I was assigned to Christina. I cannot recommend Christina highly enough. She is an incredibly compassionate, skilled, and insightful therapist who creates a safe and supportive space for real growth and healing. From the very first session, I felt truly heard and understood. Christina has a unique ability to ask the right questions, offer meaningful perspectives, and guide me toward clarity in ways that feel empowering rather than overwhelming. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shine through in every interaction. I’ve noticed so many positive changes in my life thanks to her guidance, and I feel more confident, grounded, and hopeful than I have in years. If you are looking for a therapist who is both deeply empathetic and highly effective, Christina is truly exceptional. I leave every session feeling a million times better. She truly tells me what I need to hear instead of what I want to hear, which is something I have never been able to receive through many therapists in the past. I have since loved going to Stress Care and look forward to going to my sessions, instead of feeling like it was a chore.

Ramneet is awesome and very knowledgeable, he makes sure you have everything you need!

I want to thank the whole Stress Care for their ongoing help. I definitely want to think the young handsome man Unike, uniqe I hope I spelled it right, in front desk. Such a sweetheart helped me with my forms for 45 minutes straight and did not leave my side until they were complete. Definitely knows his way around the office.

New to the area, needed assistance, glad I found this hospital. My experience was smooth, from parking to discharge. Nurses and clinicians had great bedside manner. Would recommend to friends.

Very smooth experience

I had the privilege of interacting with Nursing Director Tisha Ali during a recent visit to RWJ Hospital, and I cannot speak highly enough of her leadership and professionalism. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that her team operated with a high standard of excellence—something that reflects directly on her guidance and dedication. Tisha Ali brings a rare combination of warmth, compassion, and clinical expertise. She not only ensures that patients receive exceptional care, but she also creates a positive and respectful environment for staff, patients, and families alike. Her presence is reassuring, and she takes time to truly listen and address any concerns with empathy and efficiency. It’s leaders like Tisha who elevate the entire healthcare experience. RWJ Hospital is fortunate to have her, and so are the patients and families who cross her path. Highly recommend RWJ because of professionals like her
