About JSAS Healthcare Inc
JSAS Healthcare Inc — also known as Jersey Shore Addiction Services — has operated in Neptune, NJ since 1973, offering medical detox and outpatient programming for adults navigating substance use disorders. CARF-accredited and certified as an Opioid Treatment Program, the center treats co-occurring disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and accepts a wide range of payment options including Medicaid, Medicare, and sliding-scale fees.
JSAS Healthcare Inc, doing business as Jersey Shore Addiction Services, is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment center located at 685 Neptune Boulevard in Neptune, New Jersey. Established in 1973 as a state-run outpatient program, it has grown into one of Monmouth County's longest-standing recovery centers — carrying more than five decades of institutional experience in addiction treatment. The center holds certification as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), a designation that distinguishes it from general outpatient clinics and reflects a structured, medically supervised model of care.
JSAS Healthcare offers two primary levels of care: Medical Detox and an Outpatient Program. Medical detox provides clinical support for individuals in the earliest, most physically demanding phase of recovery, while the outpatient program allows people to continue treatment as they rebuild daily life. This combination means the center can support individuals across a meaningful span of the recovery continuum — from initial withdrawal management through sustained outpatient treatment.
The center's treatment philosophy frames substance use disorders as treatable bio-psychosocial diseases, a perspective drawn directly from JSAS's own published materials. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the clinical work, giving people concrete tools to identify and shift the thought patterns that drive addictive behavior. Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions are treated alongside substance use, reflecting an understanding that mental health and addiction rarely travel alone. CARF accreditation independently verifies that the center meets recognized standards for the quality of its programs.
JSAS Healthcare serves a notably broad population: men, women, pregnant women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those entering treatment through court orders. This range of populations served signals a center built for accessibility, not exclusivity. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, state insurance, private insurance, self-pay, sliding-scale fees, and financial assistance — removing financial barriers that often delay people from entering a recovery program. Leadership includes a Medical Director credentialed as both M.D. and J.D., a Clinical Director holding LPC, LCADC, and CCS designations, and a Nursing Director certified as a CARN, reflecting a multidisciplinary team overseeing clinical and medical operations.
Medical Detox and Outpatient Treatment at JSAS Healthcare
JSAS Healthcare offers medical detox as the first level of care for individuals beginning their recovery, providing clinical oversight during withdrawal before transitioning into ongoing treatment. This sequential model — detox followed by an outpatient program — reflects the center's view that recovery is a process requiring support across multiple phases, not a single intervention.
The outpatient program allows individuals to engage in structured addiction treatment while maintaining responsibilities at home or work. For many people evaluating longer-term recovery options, the ability to step down from medical detox directly into an outpatient program at the same certified facility provides continuity of care that can be difficult to replicate when switching between providers.
Treating Co-Occurring Disorders Through CBT
JSAS Healthcare's clinical team treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions alongside substance use, recognizing that unaddressed mental health challenges frequently complicate recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed therapeutic method in use, a structured approach that helps people in treatment recognize how thoughts and beliefs influence behavior — and develop practical strategies for change.
The center's published treatment philosophy describes substance use disorders as treatable bio-psychosocial diseases, a framing that acknowledges biological, psychological, and social dimensions of addiction. For individuals and families evaluating a recovery center with real clinical depth, that philosophy — backed by a Clinical Director credentialed as LPC, LCADC, CCS, and ACS — reflects a team oriented toward lasting recovery, not just symptom management.
Who JSAS Healthcare Serves
The populations JSAS Healthcare explicitly serves include men, women, pregnant women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and people entering treatment through court orders. This breadth is meaningful: many outpatient programs are not equipped with the specialized protocols or staff needed to serve pregnant women or clients with hearing disabilities safely and appropriately.
For families supporting a loved one who falls into one of these groups, finding a CARF-accredited, OTP-certified facility that is specifically structured to accommodate their needs can significantly reduce the barriers to starting — and staying in — a recovery program.
Payment Options and Access to Care
JSAS Healthcare accepts Medicaid, Medicare, state insurance, private insurance, self-pay and cash, sliding-scale fees, and financial assistance. For individuals and families concerned about whether addiction treatment is financially within reach, this range of accepted payment methods covers a wide spectrum of financial circumstances.
The center's location at 685 Neptune Boulevard in Neptune, New Jersey places it within Monmouth County, accessible to residents of the Jersey Shore region. Operating hours run Monday through Thursday from 6 AM to 3:30 PM, Friday from 6 AM to 2 PM, and Saturday from 7 to 10 AM, with the facility closed on Sundays. Prospective patients and families can reach JSAS Healthcare directly at (732) 988-8877.
