Why Refer Your Patients to Valley Spring Recovery Center

When you refer a patient to Valley Spring, you're connecting them with a CARF-accredited outpatient treatment center that combines clinical excellence with genuine compassion. Located in Norwood, NJ — just 20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge — we serve patients across the Tri-State area with a full continuum of addiction and mental health care.

Clinical Excellence at Every Level

Our Clinical Director, Henry Iwuala, personally reviews every referral and screens all incoming patients. With an 8:1 staff-to-client ratio, your patients receive individualized attention through our four-stage treatment model: Restore, Activate, Accelerate, and Thrive. Every program is built on evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and holistic therapies.

Rapid Admissions — No Waiting Lists

We understand that timing is critical. When you submit a referral, our clinical team completes the initial screening within one hour. Patients can be scheduled for intake within 24 hours, with same-day admissions available when clinically appropriate. We maintain 100% adherence to the 7-Day Rule: every patient receives a comprehensive assessment within seven days of referral.

Full Continuum of Outpatient Care

From Partial Hospitalization to Alumni programming, we offer the right level of care for every stage of recovery. Your patients step down through structured programming — never falling through the cracks. Our Virtual IOP and telehealth options ensure continuity even when in-person attendance isn't possible.

Holistic Healing Environment

Beyond clinical care, your patients benefit from yoga, guided meditation, sound baths, ice bath therapy, on-site gym access, nature hikes, and personalized nutrition counseling. We treat the whole person — not just the diagnosis.

Support for Working Professionals

Many of our clients are working professionals managing careers alongside recovery. We provide FMLA and disability documentation assistance, and our evening IOP programs (6–9 PM) allow patients to maintain employment while receiving treatment.

Insurance & Seamless Communication

We accept 16+ major insurance plans including Horizon, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United Healthcare, Anthem, Tricare, and more. Our admissions team handles all insurance verification and pre-authorization. Referring providers receive regular progress updates and coordinated discharge planning to ensure continuity of care.

Programs We Offer Your Patients
