NJRC is genuinely one of my favorite places on Earth. I've been to three other treatment centers and none of them compare to NJRC. The group leaders, therapists, supervisors, case managers, clients, and everyone else are amazing. Jeremy and Rachel Kornmann are especially special to me. Jeremy is a supervisor (I think) and Rachel is my therapist. They contribute to making NJRC feel like a safe and comfortable space. Therapists' doors are always open when they aren't in session so that clients can talk to them whenever they need. I know every single therapist at NJRC personally and they are all exceptional. NJRC has helped keep me sober, which is the greatest gift. I thought for the longest time that nothing would help my addiction, but NJRC pulled through. I could not be more grateful.Posted on Google
Inner Fix6 September 2026There are some places you visit in life, and there are some places that change your life. NJRC was the latter for me. When I arrived at NJRC, I had finally reached the point where I knew I had to get my life together. I needed to get off drugs and alcohol, but what I learned there went far beyond getting sober. NJRC taught me something I desperately needed to learn: how to shut the hell up, listen, become humble, and take an honest look at myself. For years, I blamed everything and everyone for the life I was living. I blamed the drugs and alcohol. I blamed the world and the people in it. I blamed poverty, my parents, and the dysfunction I grew up around. But NJRC helped me understand something that changed everything: Those things were circumstances. They were building blocks of my story. But they weren't the real problem. The real problem was me. My healing began when I finally admitted the truth: I was an addict. That admission wasn't a weakness. It was the beginning of my freedom. I learned that recovery wasn't simply about putting down the drugs and alcohol. It was about dealing with the person underneath them—the inner me. The trauma. The setbacks. The pain. The guilt. The shame. The things I had carried for years and tried to numb instead of heal. I also learned that having a Higher Power didn't necessarily mean I had to be religious. It meant understanding that I couldn't do this alone. I needed to become connected to something greater than myself. Most importantly, NJRC helped me realize that I was not broken beyond repair. I could be fixed. I could heal. I could become a better man. Today, I keep my recovery in front of me every single day. Not because I am ashamed of my past, but because I never want to forget where I came from or what it took to get here. I never want to suffer the way I once did. The love, care, compassion, patience, and guidance I received at NJRC played a tremendous part in helping me become the man I am today. I will forever be grateful. To the staff and everyone at NJRC: thank you for seeing something in me when I couldn't see it in myself. Thank you for helping me understand that recovery isn't just about changing what I do—it's about changing who I am from the inside out. NJRC didn't just help me get clean and sober. They helped me find myself. And for that, I will always be grateful.Posted on Google
Jess Garavuso5 September 2026NJRC was life changing for me. The dedicated staff and caring compassionate therapists really truly care about your well being. You are not just a dollar sign! I’m so glad this is the place my wife found for me when I needed it the most. Sept 25th I will be a year sober and I owe it all to NJRC!Posted on Google

Abby Reed4 September 2026I have had the best experience at NJRC in Fairlawn. The staff is so welcoming, I’ve made so many friends, and I genuinely look forward to going. I’ve never once felt uncomfortable or like I didn’t fit in. Before coming, I thought no one would understand me or what i was going through. That was far from the truth! After coming from a place I thought I was genuinely stuck in, to now being genuinely happy and more aware, I give all the credit to NJRC! I seriously can not say enough how much it has changed my life for the better in just 2 months so far.Posted on Google
Anthony Fiore2 September 2026I can't say enough good things about NJRC. Having had experience with different treatment programs over the years, NJRC genuinely stands out. What impressed me most is how individualized the care is. Clients are treated based on their own circumstances and needs, and not like just another statistic going through a program. The therapists, psychiatric staff, facilitators, case managers, techs, and operations staff are all professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping people succeed. You can tell there's a real effort across the board to understand each person's situation and give them the support they actually need. The various programs themselves are thoughtfully designed as well. You're exposed to practical tools, knowledge, and resources that help you better understand yourself, address the issues behind substance use, and ultimately make lasting changes. If you or a loved one are looking for help and aren't sure where to go, this is definitely a place I'd recommend.Posted on Google
IShockyI that’s all27 August 2026My friend stayed here and had an absolute terrible experience. She was improperly switched from her housing into somewhere else with no true explanation as to why. It was extremely shady, unsafe and unprofessional. Please do not stay here !Posted on Google
Jodi Burrows25 August 2026My journey to recovery did not begin with New Jersey Recovery Center (NJRC). I have struggled with addiction for many years and have been in and out of rehabs and IOPs. I have had both good and bad experiences, often with facilities promising services that never happened or leaving me in the dark about my own recovery plan. In January 2026, I was at my absolute worst and once again in the throes of addiction. As we know, addiction is progressive, and mine had progressed to a place that truly scared me. I had previously been in contact with a staff member from NJRC, and in what felt like my only moment of clarity, I told my husband, “Call NJRC.” From that day forward, they guided me every step of the way. NJRC helped guide me through detox and residential treatment and strongly encouraged me to continue into PHP. I was hesitant, but thankfully I trusted their recommendation. When I arrived, I immediately felt something different. NJRC treated me like a person—not a diagnosis or another client walking through the door. They took the time to know me, understand me, and make me feel like my recovery truly mattered. What makes NJRC so special is that they do what they say they are going to do. They provide weekly individual therapy—and it actually happens. Their peer-centered groups teach coping skills, encourage honest conversations, and provide tools that can actually be used outside of treatment. The staff genuinely care. They listen, they support you, they hold you accountable when you need it, and they celebrate your progress with you. I never felt like I was going through recovery alone. During my time with NJRC, I have formed meaningful friendships, strengthened my relationships with my family, regained my confidence, learned to set boundaries, and discovered my beliefs, values, and purpose. For so many years, I hid behind a mask. NJRC helped me realize that I don't have to anymore. They gave me a safe place to finally figure out who I am. Difficult things still happen, but today I handle them differently. I don't look for a drink anymore. I look for a tool. I feel today. I communicate today. I live life today. Today, I am 228 days sober, and there are not enough words to express my gratitude to NJRC. Every person there has played a part in helping me become the person I am today. They helped me rebuild relationships with my family, rediscover myself, believe in myself again, and understand that recovery isn't simply about not drinking—it's about learning how to live again, happy, joyous, and free. NJRC didn't just help me get sober. They helped me build a life that I want to stay sober for. I will forever be grateful, and I hope that one day I can give back and help someone else the way NJRC has helped me. With gratitude, Jodi B.Posted on Google
Jeremy Griffin29 July 2026I don't think you could find a better place to heal than NJRC. The staff and counselors all care deeply about their patients and it shows in everything they do. If you need help with mental health or addiction, this is the place to go.Posted on Google
Johnny D26 July 2026This place literally saved my life & that is not an exaggeration by any means. The “rehab” I was at before coming to NJRC seemed like it could have cared less if I lived, relapsed or died. I was in excruciating pain the entire time I was there and just kept getting worse. And I thought NJRC was going to be more of the same. But thank the good lord I was dead wrong. Everyone from the techs in the housing like Alex, Luis, etc.. to the people who run the center - Ritchie, Jeremy, Tommy, etc.. helped me to get well every single day… plus, my Therapist Rachel was a Godsend. She is like the sweetest person on the planet & helped get my life back on track…. to the group facilitators like Phil, Theresa, Jessica, Karen, etc.. who made each and everyday a learning experience.. to the house managers Sue & my man Kenny who is from Queens, NY like myself who made my stay there as comfortable as possible… not to mention people like Courtney, Kiyana, Phyllis(nutritionist), Dr. Cherrie Zapata who all helped in too many ways to count… I could go on & on… I highly recommend this place to anyone who is trying to better their life by giving up drugs & alcohol… God Bless NJRC!…(It would have been nice if someone from NJRC thanked me for my review..😏)Posted on Google

Dylan Smith12 June 2026There is something special in the air within the walls of NJRC Fairlawn Location. Whether it’s staff or other clientele the mindset is support and familial type community first and business second. It’s a robust and well gathered group of professionals that can’t be matched in any other setting. A true one of a kind opportunity to enter as you are and leave as the best possible version of yourself imaginable in the present moment. Love is the glue here and the only hesitation with NJRC is the program coming to an end as you won’t want to leave!Posted on Google

TREATMENT PROGRAMS
A Life Changing
experience
At North Jersey Recovery Center, we recognize and treat addiction as a three-fold disease that manifests in physical, spiritual, and mental ways. By addressing each dimension of addiction, our programs are tailored to treat each client’s unique needs. By offering multiple levels of care, we can help everyone, including individuals with professional or educational commitments.
Partial Care Program
This treatment option allows patients to participate in a recovery program five days per week while receiving clinical and medication-assisted treatment.
Intensive Outpatient
An IOP is a step-down level of care designed to help recovering addicts transition from rehab to everyday life through flexible scheduling.
Outpatient Treatment
Traditional outpatient addiction treatment involves individual counseling and group therapy with an addiction treatment professional every week.
Co-Occurring Disorder
If a person has a co-occurring mental health issue in addition to the substance abuse and it is not addressed this can have detrimental effects on the individual’s recovery process.
