Wellness Recovery Center of New Jersey

Wellness Recovery NJ has built a program that truly approaches addiction through a trauma-informed lens. Working alongside Marc North, Michelle Szwed, and the rest of the team has shown me how thoughtful, collaborative clinical work can create the most individualized and supportive treatment experience for clients.

I came here in need of help. I'd failed to maintain sobriety on my own. The clinicians, therapists, and even the other clients were welcoming and instrumental in developing the tools I need to live a life of sobriety. I've found new friends, support, and new ways to live a life I can love.

My experience was decent. The group of people I had the opportunity to begin my journey with were amazing. The housing is luxury in my opinion. Some of the staff are really off-putting. I would definitely like to give a shout out to Laura, Norm,Stacy, Randy(my guy) Kim, Amy, Olivia, Sue(amazing in everyway) Rob and Illa. Though my stay ended on a bad note, My overall experience was delightful. I suggest better overall staff trainings due to some clients have great mental difficulties along with addiction handicaps. The gossip circles amongst staff should be addressed. I salute Ms. Claudia for her great improvement in attitude and understanding when dealing with individuals during my stay.
Dana and Marc are an acquired taste but overall decent individuals in my opinion. Finally, Lauren (tech) has a real attitude problem and comes off extremely disrespectful at times. But I will say means well. I give my experience a 3 out of 5

I have been at wellness for 7 months. I was reluctant to start because I thought I wouldn’t like it here but I couldn’t have been more wrong. This place is amazing and there is a wonderful staff of people that are down to earth and willing to help at every turn. My journey here is one that I desperately needed to get better and develop mental clarity. Plus I made some lasting relationships along the way. I just want to say a big thank you to wellness recovery and an extra special thank you to my counselor Amy, the yoga teacher Kim, Rob, Laura, Lauren, and Marc. Without all of them I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Attending this drug and alcohol program was truly a life-changing experience for me. From the moment I walked in, I felt supported, respected, and understood. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate—they genuinely care about each individual’s recovery journey. The program offered a structured yet flexible schedule, with a strong focus on both mental health and relapse prevention. Group sessions, individual counseling, and educational workshops all contributed to my personal growth and healing. I left feeling more confident, self-aware, and equipped with the tools I need to maintain my sobriety. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about turning their life around. It works—if you’re willing to do the work.
