Center for Family Services The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary provides two distinct levels of outpatient care designed to meet varying recovery needs. Their standard outpatient program offers flexible scheduling for individuals who require ongoing substance abuse treatment while maintaining work, school, or family obligations. The intensive outpatient (IOP) program delivers more structured support with increased session frequency and duration.

Both programs incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, and group counseling as core treatment components. Telehealth services complement in-person sessions, ensuring continuity of care when transportation or scheduling challenges arise. This flexibility makes The Sanctuary particularly valuable for clients across their broad Southern New Jersey service area.

The recovery center specializes in treating co-occurring disorders, addressing substance use alongside mental health conditions, trauma, and PTSD. This dual diagnosis approach recognizes that lasting recovery often requires treating underlying mental health issues concurrent with addiction treatment. Individual counseling sessions provide safe spaces to process trauma while group counseling connects clients with others facing similar challenges.

Cognitive behavioral therapy serves as the primary therapeutic framework, helping clients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build skills for long-term recovery. The facility's trauma-informed approach ensures all programming considers the impact of past experiences on current recovery efforts.

Beyond initial treatment, The Sanctuary connects clients to comprehensive aftercare resources including their Living Proof Recovery Centers, which provide ongoing support and alumni programming. Peer mentoring and coaching continue after primary treatment completion, maintaining connection to the recovery community during early sobriety challenges.

Support groups and wellness classes offer structured activities that reinforce recovery skills while building social connections with others in recovery. This extended support network addresses the reality that addiction treatment extends far beyond initial program completion, requiring ongoing community engagement and professional guidance.

The facility serves diverse populations including adolescents, adults, seniors, veterans, pregnant women, and court-ordered clients. This broad scope requires specialized programming approaches that address unique needs within each demographic while maintaining core addiction treatment principles.

Payment options include Medicaid, state insurance, and self-pay arrangements, removing financial barriers that often prevent access to quality addiction treatment. Council on Accreditation (COA) accreditation demonstrates commitment to professional standards and quality care delivery across all programming levels.
