We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, because no two people walk the same path to recovery. At New Leaf, we offer a wide range of therapy options to meet you where you are. This includes proven approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR. [2] We also offer group therapy, trauma-informed care, and family therapy to help you heal in the context of connection with others. Whether you’re working through substance use, mental health struggles, or both, we’re here with the right support at the right time.

Therapy gets to the “why” behind substance use—uncovering the pain, trauma, or mental health issues that fuel it. [3] Regardless of the level of care, therapy provides individuals with the tools, structure, and support they need to build lasting recovery from the inside out.

For a lot of people, addiction and mental health struggles go hand in hand. [4] Maybe it’s anxiety that led to substance use, or depression that got worse over time. At New Leaf, we treat both because you can’t fully heal one without looking at the other. Our team uses integrated therapy approaches, like CBT and trauma-focused care, to help clients untangle the deeper issues behind substance use. If you’re dealing with something like alcohol addiction and depression, your therapy plan will address both, because you’re a whole person, not just a diagnosis.

Individual therapy provides you with one-on-one time with a licensed therapist, offering a space to open up about what you’re carrying, explore your past, and work through things at your own pace. Group therapy, on the other hand, reminds you that you’re not alone. It’s a place to connect, share honestly, and learn from others walking their own recovery path. Both are important, and at New Leaf, we include them throughout your treatment.

Yes. Addiction affects the whole family, not just the person using substances. [5] Our family therapy program helps rebuild trust, improve communication, and heal the emotional toll of addiction. Whether you’re supporting someone in detox, inpatient care, or outpatient rehab, family therapy can play a key role in the recovery process. We also provide education and support for loved ones to better understand substance use, relapse, and long-term recovery.

No two recovery journeys look the same. That’s why every client at New Leaf receives a personalized treatment plan after a complete clinical assessment. We consider mental health history, substance use patterns, trauma, and lifestyle factors to match clients with the right combination of therapy sessions. Whether someone needs more intensive trauma therapy, help with grief, or support managing a dual diagnosis, we adapt our approach to fit their goals and needs.

We work with people facing all kinds of substance use challenges—from opioids and alcohol to meth, benzos, and more. Therapy plays a crucial role, regardless of what you’re struggling with. Whether you’re going through detox, starting medication-assisted treatment, or planning what comes next, our therapy options are here to support you every step of the way. Recovery isn’t just about stopping the substance—it’s about understanding what’s underneath it, and that’s where therapy comes in.

Yes. Therapy is integrated across all levels of care at New Leaf. Whether you’re just starting treatment or stepping down, therapy remains a core part of your healing process.

We accept most major insurance plans. Our admissions team can verify your benefits at no cost and explain what’s covered under your plan. Getting therapy for addiction in New Jersey shouldn’t be out of reach, and we’re here to help make treatment accessible for as many people as possible.

Yes. We believe aftercare is critical to sustained recovery. Many of our clients continue therapy through outpatient treatment or sober living programs. We also help connect clients with alumni groups, local support meetings, and additional behavioral health providers in the state. Recovery doesn’t end at discharge—and neither does our support.
