Our Mission
We believe that recovery is not just possible — it is the expected outcome when people receive the right care, at the right time, from the right team.

Valley Spring Recovery Center delivers the best substance use and mental health treatment in the Tri-State area. We redefine traditional treatment approaches to provide real, personalized solutions that meet the unique needs of every patient.

We are committed to empowering individuals who feel trapped in addiction or mental health struggles, offering them and their families a pathway to change. Through a safe, supportive environment, innovative staff and therapy, and individualized care, we help our patients break free, reclaim their purpose, and become healthy, thriving members of society.

Located at 830 Broadway, Norwood, NJ 07648, just 20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge, we serve Bergen County and the greater New York metro area with a full continuum of outpatient care — from Partial Care through our lifelong Alumni program.
