CARF-accredited outpatient treatment with same-day admissions, seamless referral coordination, and a clinical team that communicates every step of the way.
Learn MoreWhen you refer a patient to Valley Spring Recovery Center, you're not handing them off — you're handing them forward. We understand that your recommendation carries weight. Your patients trust you, and we take that trust seriously. Every referral is met with the same clinical rigor, urgency, and compassion that you would deliver yourself.
Under the clinical direction of Henry Iwuala and medical oversight from Dr. Michael Olla, our team maintains open communication with referring providers throughout the entire treatment continuum. You'll receive progress updates, discharge summaries, and coordination calls — not silence.
Located at 830 Broadway, Norwood, NJ 07648 — just 20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge in the heart of Bergen County — we serve patients across northern New Jersey and the greater New York metropolitan area. CARF-accredited and dually licensed for both substance use and mental health treatment.
Our 4-stage progressive model ensures patients aren't discharged into a vacuum. Each level of care builds on the last, with clinical milestones guiding transitions — not arbitrary timelines.
Complete the form below to initiate a referral. Our admissions team will contact you within one business day to coordinate intake. For urgent or same-day referrals, call (201) 781-8812 directly.
From the moment you submit a referral, here is exactly what your patient can expect. No ambiguity. No runaround. Just a clear, compassionate process built for urgency.
Your referral reaches our admissions team immediately. We acknowledge receipt within the hour during business hours and assign a dedicated admissions coordinator to your patient's case. You'll receive a confirmation with your coordinator's direct line.
Our team contacts the patient to conduct a brief clinical pre-assessment and simultaneously verifies insurance coverage. We work with 16 major providers including Horizon, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and BCBS. Most verifications complete within 30 minutes.
Clinical Director Henry Iwuala and Medical Director Dr. Michael Olla review the assessment and determine the appropriate level of care. Approval is typically granted within one hour. We match patients to the right program — not the most convenient one.
Once approved, we schedule intake — typically within 24 hours. The patient's assigned Program Coordinator (Ron Lopez or Cameron Kennedy) walks them through what to expect on day one. Transportation accommodations are available. Some admissions can be completed virtually.
Your patient arrives at 830 Broadway, Norwood, NJ and begins treatment — often same-day or next-day. You receive a confirmation that treatment has started, along with a plan for ongoing communication including progress updates and eventual discharge coordination.
