    What we treat

    What we treat at Turning Point New Jersey.

    Our detox program primarily helps individuals safely withdraw from alcohol and opioids, while our residential programs support those struggling with all types of substance use and co-occurring disorders.

    • High-quality detoxification and residential treatment services
    • Medically monitored detox from alcohol, opioids and sedatives
    • Residential treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders
    • We address behaviors, coping challenges and life consequences
    • Medicaid accepted, plus most major insurance

    A personalized road to recovery, for every patient.

    Every admission to Turning Point begins the same way: a conversation about what you've been using, how much and how recently, what else is going on in your health, and what your coverage looks like. That assessment is what decides the plan, not the substance on its own.

    Our medically monitored detox covers alcohol, opioids and sedatives such as benzodiazepines, which is where most of the physical risk of stopping sits. Stimulants work differently: there's no approved medication for stimulant use disorder and no medical detox in that sense, so treatment there is built on residential care and counseling instead.

    Most people arriving at Turning Point are not dealing with one thing in isolation. More than one substance is common, and so is something underneath it: depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain. Our co-occurring care treats those alongside the substance use, rather than after it, because treating one and ignoring the other rarely holds.

    "Thank you to all the medical staff for the care and treatment all of you have provided me during my stay at Turning Point. Most days you were the first and last people I interacted with, making sure my medication was accurate and given with a smile. Please know that you all did an excellent job helping me."
