The program provides 24-hour residential care with integrated shelter, meals, and life skills development.

The residential treatment program combines traditional 12-step work with cognitive behavioral therapy, delivered through both individual counseling and group counseling sessions. This addiction treatment approach addresses drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and mental health issues within a structured recovery community environment. The program integrates education and job training components, preparing residents for sustained recovery and successful community reintegration.

Under the leadership of Executive Director David Scott, CEO Gordon Dahl, and COO George Moussab, the facility emphasizes practical life skills alongside therapeutic interventions. The program's therapeutic framework builds recovery foundations through peer support, structured routines, and accountability measures that extend beyond typical outpatient programs. This comprehensive approach supports longer-term recovery goals rather than short-term stabilization.

The combination of housing stability, vocational training, and ongoing counseling creates a recovery community that supports sustained sobriety and personal development.

Residential Treatment Program Structure

The Market Street Mission Life Change Recovery Program provides comprehensive residential treatment through a 24-hour care model that integrates housing, addiction treatment, and life skills development. Residents receive individual counseling and participate in group counseling sessions that incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy techniques alongside traditional 12-step work. This dual approach addresses both the behavioral patterns underlying addiction and the spiritual principles of recovery.

The program's residential structure includes meals, shelter, and education components that create stability for men and young adults entering recovery.

Recovery Community for Men and Young Adults

Market Street Mission specifically serves men and young adults, creating a recovery community tailored to the unique challenges facing younger men in addiction recovery. The program addresses drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and co-occurring mental health issues through peer support and structured programming designed for this population. Group counseling sessions facilitate shared experiences among residents facing similar recovery challenges.

This multilingual capacity addresses language barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing addiction treatment, particularly in New Jersey's diverse communities.

The program's broad service area reflects its commitment to serving recovery needs across multiple counties, with staff equipped to provide culturally competent care. Individual counseling and group sessions can be conducted in residents' preferred languages, ensuring therapeutic concepts are fully understood and integrated. This accessibility extends the program's community impact beyond traditional English-speaking populations seeking residential treatment.
