What Is Inpatient Residential Treatment in New Jersey?

Inpatient Residential treatment means living at our facility in the Borough of Merchantville, Camden County, NJ for the duration of your program. This immersive approach ensures you have around-the-clock support from licensed therapists, medical staff, and addiction specialists, every hour of every day.

Unlike outpatient programs, inpatient residential treatment removes external distractions and environmental triggers, providing a highly controlled and supportive setting where you can safely undergo medically supervised care, participate in intensive therapy, and begin building the coping skills that will sustain your recovery for years to come. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), treatment programs lasting 90 days or longer produce significantly better outcomes, research consistently shows that adequate treatment length is one of the strongest predictors of long-term recovery success.

The 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reported that approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older met criteria for a substance use disorder in the past year, yet the vast majority did not receive specialized treatment. Structured inpatient residential care remains one of the most effective and evidence-based interventions available for breaking that cycle.

Our program follows the ASAM Criteria, the nationally recognized clinical framework developed by the American Society of Addiction Medicine for matching patients to the appropriate level of care, ensuring every person receives treatment intensity matched to their specific clinical needs.

OUR PROGRAMS

Our Residential Treatment Programs at Maplewood

We offer three distinct residential treatment programs, each designed for a specific phase of recovery. Our clinical team uses the ASAM Criteria to ensure you’re meeting ASAM 3.5 so you are in the right program at the right time.

Inpatient Residential Stabilization

The entry point for clients who need medical and psychiatric stabilization before deeper clinical work can begin. The first few days of your admissions is considered your stabilization phase. Sometimes patients require shorter stays, comprehensive assessment, and medication management, and other patients require full 30-45 day residential treatment care.

Inpatient Residential Treatment

For those patients that need additional clinical attention and more acute treatment plans they will require longer-term, clinically driven residential treatment care. Individualized treatment plans with short and long term goals, daily structured therapy, relapse prevention planning, life skills, and structured and intensive aftercare planning.

Co-Occurring Residential Program

For patients that have dual diagnosies disorders we offer integrated treatment for patients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Psychiatric care, Psycho-educational therapy, and addiction treatment delivered simultaneously to ensure all areas of the patients needs are being cared for.

Program Duration & What to Expect

Program lengths at Maplewood range from shorter 7-10 days, 28 days to 90 days or more. Depending on your clinical needs, insurance coverage, and progress in treatment, the treatment team structures a discharge plan as you start engaging in the program. NIDA research consistently shows that longer treatment episodes (90 days or more) are strongly associated with better long-term outcomes. Our clinical team will discuss realistic timeline expectations with you at the start of your stay and revisit them regularly during treatment plan reviews as you progress. You will never be rushed through treatment to meet an arbitrary deadline. Our goal is to assist you in obtaining long term recovery.

MEDICAL CARE

Withdrawal Management Services at Our New Jersey Facility

What to Expect During Withdrawal Management

For many people, the first days to weeks of stopping substance use bring withdrawal symptoms and post acute withdrawal symptoms that range from uncomfortable to medically serious. Depending on the substance, duration of use, and individual physiology. At Maplewood, our Clinical, Medical and nursing team provides around-the-clock monitoring during this initial stabilization phase, using FDA-approved medications to manage symptoms safely, reduce discomfort, and prevent medical complications. You will not be left to manage this alone.

Medically Supervised Care

The earliest days of recovery are often the hardest. For patients who require medical stabilization upon arrival,after completing detox, or failing to meet criteria for detox, our clinical and nursing team provides around-the-clock monitoring and care to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. Our Physicians utilize FDA-approved medications to reduce discomfort and prevent medical complications, guiding you through the initial stabilization phase so you can transition into the core inpatient residential program feeling stable and ready to fully engage in treatment.

We also offer specialized protocols for patients dependent on specific substances. Our fentanyl withdrawal management program accounts for the longer half-life and unpredictable potency of illicitly manufactured fentanyl. Our acute alcohol withdrawal care protocol manages the unique, and potentially serious, medical risks associated with alcohol cessation which in many cases can last weeks. In all cases, you will not be left to manage this alone.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

For many people in recovery, medication plays a critical role in managing cravings, reducing relapse risk, and treating co-occurring mental health conditions. Our medical team carefully evaluates and monitors all medications, ensuring your Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) protocol optimally supports your recovery goals.

SAMHSA recognizes MAT as an evidence-based practice for opioid and alcohol use disorders that substantially reduces the risk of relapse and overdose mortality. MAT is not trading one addiction for another, it is physician-supervised medicine with a robust scientific foundation, the same way a diabetic manages insulin. Our physicians will discuss all medication options transparently with you and involve you in every decision about your care.

CLINICAL SERVICES

Evidence-Based Therapies We Offer

Our evidence-based inpatient residential program is tailored to your unique history, needs, and recovery goals. During your stay, you will engage in a variety of therapeutic modalities proven to support lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most extensively researched and validated approaches in addiction treatment. CBT helps you identify the thought patterns, beliefs, and automatic reactions that fuel substance use and replace them with healthier responses. At Maplewood, CBT is woven throughout individual therapy sessions, teaching you practical skills to recognize triggers, challenge distorted thinking, and build the behavioral tools that support sobriety well beyond your time in treatment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Originally developed for individuals with intense emotional responses, DBT has a strong evidence base in addiction treatment. It addresses four core skill areas mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness that are commonly underdeveloped in people with substance use disorders. Our therapists integrate DBT skills training into both individual and group therapy, giving you concrete tools for managing the emotional intensity that often drives relapse.

Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma and substance use disorders are deeply interconnected. Research published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment estimates that 25–50% of people seeking addiction treatment meet criteria for PTSD, and a far higher percentage have experienced significant adverse life events that shape their relationship with substances. At Maplewood, every staff interaction, group format, and therapeutic modality is grounded in an understanding of how trauma affects behavior, trust, and recovery. We integrate EMDR-informed approaches, somatic awareness techniques, and trauma-focused CBT into our programming. Clients are never pressured to process trauma before they are emotionally and clinically ready, we follow your pace.

Group & Individual Counseling

Addiction affects everyone differently. In one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist, you will explore the underlying causes of your substance use, the trauma, relationships, thought patterns, and life circumstances that contributed to where you are now. We use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping strategies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These sessions are private, confidential, and adapted to your pace.

You are not alone in this. Our group therapy sessions bring clients together to learn about the science of addiction, build vital coping skills, and support one another through the process of recovery. Guided by experienced clinical facilitators, you will gain deep insight into relapse prevention, emotional triggers, and healthy relationship patterns, while forming meaningful bonds with peers who genuinely understand your journey. Peer accountability is one of the most powerful forces in early recovery, and our group programming is designed to foster exactly that.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)

Ambivalence about change is natural, and common. Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), rooted in Motivational Interviewing (MI), helps you identify, clarify, and strengthen your own internal motivations for recovery. Rather than being told what to do, you are guided to articulate your own reasons for change. This collaborative, non-confrontational approach has a robust evidence base for improving treatment engagement and long-term outcomes, particularly in the early stages of recovery.

Family Therapy & Support

Addiction rarely affects just one person. It reshapes entire family systems. Our structured family therapy programming helps rebuild trust, improve communication, and establish healthy boundaries that support your recovery after discharge. Whether estrangement has occurred or relationships have been strained over years, family involvement in treatment consistently improves long-term sobriety outcomes. We will work with your family at a pace that feels safe for everyone involved.

CO-OCCURRING CONDITIONS

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Substance use disorders rarely exist in a vacuum. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions frequently co-occur with addiction, and treating only the addiction without addressing the underlying mental health condition dramatically increases the risk of relapse.

Our on-site psychiatrists conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify and treat co-occurring conditions. Through regular follow-ups and individualized treatment plan reviews, we adjust your care to ensure your mental health is fully supported throughout your stay. NIDA’s research confirms that addressing co-occurring mental health disorders is essential to long-term recovery success, and integrated dual-diagnosis care is a cornerstone of our inpatient residential program.
