Who Are We

A Licensed Residential Treatment Center Serving South Jersey and Camden County

Maplewood Treatment Solutions is a licensed inpatient residential treatment center located in the Borough of Merchantville, Camden County, New Jersey. We have served individuals and families across South Jersey, Cherry Hill Township, Gloucester City, Pennsauken, and the greater Philadelphia area for years. Our clinical team includes licensed therapists, psychiatrists, addiction medicine specialists, and certified case managers all operating under one roof with one shared mission: getting people well.

We are not a call center. We are not a referral service. When you call us, you speak directly with an addiction specialist at our Merchantville, NJ facility. Someone who can actually evaluate your situation and give you a real, honest answer.

What We Do

Free Substance Abuse Evaluations for People struggling with substances, No Cost, No Pressure

We provide complimentary substance abuse evaluations to anyone who reaches out, whether you are concerned about yourself, a family member, or someone you care about. During the evaluation, an addiction professional will take the time to understand the full picture: the history of use, the impact on daily functioning, co-occurring mental health concerns, and what level of care if any, makes clinical sense.

The evaluation is not a sales pitch. It is a simple substance abuse severity evaluation. At the end, you will have a clear, honest recommendation from an addiction professional. Whether that means treatment at Maplewood, another level of care elsewhere, or simply more information to help you make a decision.

How We Do It

Confidential Clinical Assessments Conducted by Addiction Professionals in Merchantville, NJ

Our evaluation process is structured around the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria, the clinical standard used across New Jersey and the country to determine the appropriate level of care for substance use disorders. We assess six dimensions: intoxication and withdrawal potential, medical conditions, mental and emotional health, readiness to change, relapse potential, and living environment.

You can schedule your free evaluation by phone or by completing our contact form. Evaluations are available by phone, in person at our Merchantville, NJ facility, or for urgent situations, same-day. Everything discussed is completely confidential and protected under federal and state privacy law.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens During a Substance Abuse Evaluation in Camden County, NJ

A substance abuse evaluation is not a test you pass or fail. It is a structured conversation with an addiction professional, designed to give you clarity about what you or your loved one is dealing with, and what, if anything, to do next.

Step 1: You Reach Out

Call us at (856) 485-9814 or submit our contact form. You'll speak directly with a professional at our Merchantville, NJ facility, not a call center.

Step 3: Clinical Assessment

Using ASAM criteria, we evaluate all six clinical dimensions to determine what, if any, level of care is appropriate for your specific situation.

Step 2: The Conversation

An addiction professional will ask about history, patterns of use, physical and mental health, and your current situation. It's confidential and judgment-free.

Step 4: Your Recommendation

You leave the evaluation with a clear, honest clinical recommendation. Whether that's treatment at Maplewood or something else. We will always point you in the right direction.
