About Recovery at the Crossroads

At Recovery at the Crossroads, we are dedicated to transforming lives through compassionate, individualized addiction treatment. Located in Blackwood, New Jersey, our center is rooted in the belief that recovery is a deeply personal journey that requires dignity, respect, and unwavering support. Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can confront their struggles and rebuild their lives.

We take pride in being a trusted resource for the Jewish community, offering culturally sensitive care that integrates traditional therapeutic approaches with respect for religious and cultural values. At Recovery at the Crossroads, we believe in addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—to empower lasting recovery and renewed purpose.

Programs and services offered at Recovery at the Crossroads

Recovery at the Crossroads offers a comprehensive range of programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients:

Residential Rehab: A structured, supportive environment for individuals in need of intensive, immersive care to overcome addiction.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Daily care that blends therapy and education for individuals transitioning from or seeking an alternative to inpatient treatment.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Flexible therapy sessions for individuals balancing recovery with personal or professional responsibilities.

General Outpatient Program (GOP): Ideal for those with established sobriety who need ongoing support and maintenance.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Integrated care for individuals struggling with both addiction and mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

Holistic Therapy: Incorporating mindfulness, movement, and creative therapies to address the emotional and physical aspects of recovery.

Kosher Recovery Services: Specialized care tailored to the needs of the Jewish community, including kosher meals and observance of religious practices.

Our multidisciplinary team uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-informed care. We provide the tools and support necessary to empower clients to reclaim their lives.

Jewish Community Experience

At Recovery at the Crossroads, we understand the unique challenges faced by the Jewish community in addressing addiction. For years, misconceptions about addiction in this community have created barriers to seeking help. We are committed to breaking these barriers by providing an environment free from judgment or stigma.

Our Kosher Recovery Services include:
- Fully kosher meal plans aligned with dietary laws.
- Respect for Shabbat and holiday observances.
- A supportive environment that acknowledges and incorporates cultural and spiritual values.

We create a space where Jewish clients can feel comfortable, respected, and supported while navigating their recovery journey. By blending faith, tradition, and proven therapeutic practices, we help clients build meaningful, addiction-free lives.
