Mountainside is a nationally acclaimed behavioral health network that provides individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment. Mountainside was founded in 1998 by a group of like-minded friends. They believed that supplementing traditional therapies with
holistic wellness practices could vastly improve long-term recovery. Mountainside Ramsey offers flexible morning and evening appointment services including medication-assisted
detox (
MAT),
outpatient services, recovery coaching, and online counseling. Each client is unique, and they provide a full continuum of care that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. Their Integrative Model of Care guides clients sequentially through each stage of recovery, ensuring that each client’s treatment plan is specifically designed to cater to his or her individual needs. Mountainside provides a robust range of therapy options with a qualified staff to find which therapies work best for the individual. Treatment can include individual and group counseling, 12-Step facilitation, anger management, acupuncture, adventure therapy, expressive therapy, healthy living workshops, therapeutic art and writing, and more. Mountainside believes the greatest asset for long-term recovery is a strong support system. They work closely with the client’s family and create support services to help loved ones understand addiction and the recovery process.
Mountainside has numerous facilities throughout the Northeast. The Ramsey, New Jersey location is an easy commute for local residents as well as residents of Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Wyckoff, River Vale, Westwood, Pearl River, Ramapo, and Nanuet. Mountainside is pleased to hold a 3.7 ASAM certification as well as dual accreditation from CARF International and The Joint Commission, making it 1 of just 7 addiction treatment facilities in the country to do so. Additionally, clients can self-pay.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Mountainside Ramsey provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
