Inpatient Addiction Treatment in Holmdel, NJ

Medical care is available 24/7 at Willow Ridge to ensure client safety throughout treatment. For those entering directly from detox, continued monitoring helps manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms while reducing health risks. Our medical team also addresses co-occurring physical or mental health conditions, adjusting care as needed. Having access to around-the-clock support provides peace of mind, particularly in the early stages of recovery when clients may feel most vulnerable.

No two journeys to recovery are the same. Every client at Willow Ridge begins with a detailed intake and assessment process that takes into account their medical history, mental health, family background, and personal goals. From there, our team creates a treatment plan that outlines the therapies, milestones, and supports needed to achieve lasting recovery. These plans are living documents—regularly reviewed and updated to reflect each client’s progress and changing needs.

Individual therapy is a core part of our inpatient program. Clients meet one-on-one with licensed therapists to uncover the root causes of substance use, whether tied to trauma, stress, or underlying mental health conditions. Therapy sessions focus on teaching healthy coping skills, addressing destructive thought patterns, and setting realistic goals for the future. We use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to improve emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.

Group therapy is essential to the Willow Ridge experience. In these sessions, clients build connections with peers who understand their struggles, offering a powerful sense of community and accountability. Group discussions may focus on relapse prevention, stress management, communication, and life skills, with each member learning not only from professional facilitators but also from the shared experiences of others. This peer support often continues beyond treatment, forming bonds that help sustain long-term recovery.

At Willow Ridge, we know recovery extends beyond the individual—it also impacts their loved ones. Family therapy sessions give clients and their families the opportunity to heal together, repair trust, and establish healthy boundaries. Educational workshops also help family members understand the nature of substance use disorder, breaking down stigma and teaching them how to provide effective support once their loved one returns home. By involving families in the process, we strengthen the client’s support system for long-term success.

We believe recovery should address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. That’s why our inpatient program integrates wellness activities alongside traditional therapies. Clients may participate in yoga and mindfulness training to reduce stress, exercise programs to improve physical health, or creative outlets such as art and music therapy to express emotions. Nutritional counseling helps rebuild healthy habits that support brain and body recovery. These activities promote balance, increase resilience, and make the recovery journey more engaging and sustainable.
