River Edge Behavioral Health: Addiction Recovery Services

River Edge Behavioral Health is a dedicated organization providing comprehensive and evidence-based treatment to individuals grappling with substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. With a foundational belief in making life better, River Edge offers a pathway to health, recovery, and long-term wellness through personalized care designed to support the whole person.

Addiction Recovery Adult Outpatient Services

The core of River Edge’s specialized treatment is the Addiction Recovery Adult Outpatient Services. These programs are specifically tailored for individuals requiring structured support while maintaining their daily responsibilities, such as work or family commitments. The outpatient model provides flexible scheduling, ensuring clients receive necessary therapeutic interventions without needing residential placement. Treatment focuses on identifying the root causes of addiction, developing robust coping mechanisms, and equipping individuals with the tools needed to sustain sobriety outside of a clinical setting.

Comprehensive Treatment Modalities

Recovery at River Edge is multifaceted, incorporating various services to address the complexity of substance use disorders. Beyond standard counseling and group therapy, the organization provides Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), which uses FDA-approved medications combined with behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. Residential treatment is also available for those needing a higher level of intensive care, while supportive housing options help individuals transition smoothly back into the community.

Furthermore, River Edge operates a dedicated Addiction Recovery Peer Support Center. This welcoming environment allows individuals in recovery to connect with others who share similar experiences, offering essential peer guidance, shared wisdom, and a powerful sense of community. This peer-driven approach significantly strengthens the foundation for lasting recovery.

Crisis and Access Information

Recognizing that crises can occur at any time, River Edge ensures accessibility to care. While general inquiries can be directed to the main contact number, those experiencing a mental health or addiction crisis are encouraged to utilize 988 or GCAL (1-800-715-4225), which are available 24/7. Additionally, walk-in services are available at various recovery and crisis centers operated by River Edge, ensuring immediate support is available when it is most needed.
