Established in 1975, Turning Point New Jersey has helped thousands of adolescents, adults, and their families recover from addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Turning Point has been ranked by Newsweek as part of the top 7 best rehabs in New Jersey. They offer a full continuum of services including subacute
detox, short and long-term residential care, intensive
outpatient programs (
IOP), a women's sober living home, and the Aspire Counseling Center in Pompton Plains. The Aspire program is designed to meet the needs of adolescents aged 13-18 struggling with substance use disorder and related mental health conditions.
Turning Point’s sort-term recovery plans typically last between 1 and 45 days. Long-term
residential treatment is more intensive and usually lasts 90 days. Treatment is primarily designed to foster personal growth and social-skills development. There is an intervention focused on reintegrating the client into the greater community, and where education and vocational development are emphasized. During all programs, clients will participate in evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapies (
CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), individual and group therapy, family counseling, 12-Step facilitation, and medication management. Turning Point's holistic approach to treatment also includes art therapy, sound therapy, yoga, exercise, and off-site activities.
The Turning Point programs are held in multiple locations throughout New Jersey. The caring staff will help clients during every step of the way ensuring long-lasting recovery. Turning Point New Jersey is accredited by CARF and accepts most private insurance.
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 Turning Point New Jersey provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
