Outpatient Addiction Treatment Near Cherry Hill, NJ

Two Distances, Depending on Your End of Cherry Hill

South Jersey Recovery Program has one office, at 1044 NJ-73 in Berlin. How far that is depends on where in Cherry Hill you start.

From the municipal building on Mercer Street, in the western half of the township, it is about 13 and a half miles by way of Haddonfield-Berlin Road. Google Maps put that drive at a little over half an hour on a weekday midday. From the east side, around Route 70 and Springdale Road, it is about 10 miles and closer to 20 minutes. Treat all of those numbers as approximate.

Either distance is easy to wave off on the day you enroll. The trouble is that outpatient treatment is a trip you repeat. In partial care you come five days a week. In intensive outpatient you come five days a week at first and three as you step down. Anyone who cannot count on a car for that many weekday mornings needs another way here, and from Cherry Hill there is one.

We are an outpatient provider. We treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions while you live at home. We do not provide detox or residential treatment. If that is what you need first, we will say so and help you arrange it.

The Train From Cherry Hill Station

NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line stops at Cherry Hill station, which sits behind the Garden State Pavilion shopping center off Route 70, and two stops later at Atco station. The ride takes about 20 minutes, with one stop at Lindenwold. Atco station sits across Route 73 from our office, about two tenths of a mile away in a straight line. The walk is not simple. Route 73 is a divided highway here, and the nearest traffic signal is at Jackson Road, about three tenths of a mile north of our office. Cross at the signal, not between the station and our door; that makes the walk roughly half a mile. Look at the route on a map before your first trip.

What decides whether the train works is frequency. Weekday trains run roughly every hour and a half to two hours, so only some of them fit our hours. On the timetable in effect since May 31, 2026, the 8:11 a.m. train from Cherry Hill reaches Atco at 8:30, about an hour before a 9:30 start, and the office opens at 9. The next one arrives after 10, too late.

The trip home is where the two programs part ways. A train leaves Atco at 12:52 p.m., which works after an IOP session ends at noon. Partial care ends at 3:30, and the next train after that leaves at 4:35 p.m., so expect about an hour’s wait every afternoon.

Timetables change. Confirm the current Atlantic City Line schedule with NJ Transit rather than relying on this page.

By bus. NJ Transit’s 406 runs along Route 70 through Cherry Hill, with stops at Kings Highway, Springdale Road and other cross streets, then through Marlton and down Route 73. Some trips end in Marlton, and the ones that continue end at Berlin Circle Plaza, roughly two miles north of us, so you would need a ride for the last stretch. For most people without a car, the train is the better choice.

By car. From the western half of the township, Haddonfield-Berlin Road (County Route 561) runs southeast into Berlin, and from there it is under two miles south on Route 73. From the east side, Route 73 south is the direct way. There is parking at the office.

The schedule, plainly. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and clinical staff are on site 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Partial care runs 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and IOP runs 9:30 a.m. to noon. We do not run an evening track. If your job cannot flex around daytime hours, tell us on the first call. It is better to hear that we are the wrong fit in five minutes than to find out after an intake.

Which Level of Care Fits

The three levels differ in hours, not in seriousness.

Partial care runs Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It fits someone stepping down from detox or a residential stay, or someone who needs clinical contact to be the default setting for a while.

Intensive outpatient runs 9:30 a.m. to noon, five days a week to start and three as you step down. It is the most common starting point for people who are medically stable and have a safe place to sleep.

Outpatient is one or two sessions a week, and it is where most of the long work happens.

In partial care and intensive outpatient you see your individual therapist at least once a week alongside group therapy. Where medication is appropriate, medication assisted treatment is part of the plan. If a psychiatric diagnosis sits alongside the substance use, that is dual diagnosis work, and we run groups specifically for it.

In Cherry Hill, Half of Admissions Are for Alcohol

Cherry Hill Township residents accounted for 403 substance use treatment admissions in 2025. Only Camden City and Gloucester Township had more. The state Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services counts admissions by the town the person lives in, and these figures come from its 2025 Substance Use Overview for Camden County, the most recent edition, dated July 2026.

Primary drug	Cherry Hill admissions	Share of Cherry Hill	Share countywide
Alcohol	200	50%	39%
Heroin	97	24%	25%
Other opiates	40	10%	10%
Cocaine or crack	23	6%	12%
Marijuana	17	4%	7%
Methamphetamine	11	3%	2%
Other or unknown	15	4%	5%

Alcohol accounted for 200 admissions, half of the township’s total, against 39 percent countywide. Add heroin and other opiates together and you get 137 admissions, 34 percent, close to the county’s 35 percent. Alcohol leads in Cherry Hill, and opioids are still a third.

Read the table as a count of admissions, not people. One person admitted twice appears twice, and only admissions to licensed programs that report to the state are included. The numbers describe who got to treatment, not who is drinking or using.

The practical consequence is that a Cherry Hill family cannot assume which danger it is facing. Alcohol is the more common one, opioids are not far behind, and the two call for different precautions.

With opioids, the first precaution is medication. For opioid use disorder, medication is a central part of treatment rather than an add-on, and medication assisted treatment is part of the plan here where it is appropriate. The second is naloxone in the house before anyone needs it, kept somewhere other than the pocket of the person most likely to need it. Tolerance drops fast during any stretch without opioids, and going back to the old dose afterward is how a great many overdoses happen.

With alcohol, the danger is in stopping. If you drink heavily every day, do not stop abruptly on your own. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures and delirium, and it can be fatal without medical management. That calls for medically supervised withdrawal first, which we do not provide. We help arrange it and take you into outpatient care when you come out. Our page on alcohol abuse covers how clinicians draw the line between heavy drinking and alcohol use disorder.

Help in Cherry Hill That Is Not Ours

If someone may have overdosed. Call 911 first. Then give naloxone if you have it, and if there is no response within 2 to 3 minutes give another dose in the other nostril and keep going until help arrives. Stay with them. Naloxone reverses opioids only, and New Jersey’s supply increasingly contains xylazine and medetomidine, which it does not reverse, so give it anyway and keep waiting for the ambulance even if the person stays sleepy. The same applies to anyone unresponsive or not breathing normally. For thoughts of suicide, call or text 988, or 911 if someone is in immediate danger or has already been hurt or taken something. Our phone is an admissions line staffed on weekdays. It is not a crisis line.

The county’s crisis center is in Cherry Hill. Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, at 2201 Chapel Avenue West, is open 24 hours and has an emergency department. Jefferson describes that emergency department as Camden County’s designated Crisis Center, and says nearly one in five people it sees there come for mental or behavioral health needs, including drug and alcohol addiction. Camden County’s state-designated psychiatric screening service is run by Oaks Integrated Care, and its 24-hour line is (856) 428-4357. Neither the hospital nor Oaks is affiliated with us.

Naloxone, before you need it. Pharmacies in New Jersey dispense it without a prescription, and the state’s Naloxone365 program lets anyone 14 or older pick it up free and anonymously at a participating pharmacy. If someone in your house uses opioids, keep it where another person can find it, not where only that person can.

If the problem started with a court date. Project SAVE is a Camden County program that puts licensed social service professionals in municipal courts so that people facing non-violent charges can be connected to treatment, regardless of their ability to pay. Cherry Hill was on the list of participating towns when the county expanded the program in late 2018. If you have a date in Cherry Hill Municipal Court, ask the court administrator whether a SAVE advocate is available there now. We are not part of Project SAVE. Separately, we do accept court-mandated clients, and our case management team handles the documentation a court asks for.

If a drunk-driving charge is part of the picture, the Camden County Intoxicated Driver Resource Center has been run by Advanced Counseling Services since January 1, 2026, at 375 North Main Street in Williamstown. Call or text (856) 361-3019. If you are not able to drive for a while, for that reason or any other, plan around the train times above before you pick a level of care.

The township’s own alliance. The Cherry Hill Alliance on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, founded in 1988 and based at the municipal building at 820 Mercer Street, runs prevention and education programs and helps residents find out where to get help. Its number is (856) 488-7889. It is a volunteer group of township officials, educators, police officers and residents, not a treatment provider.

Finding other options. The Camden County Office of Mental Health and Substance Use, at (856) 374-6361, does not provide treatment itself but helps residents find services. New Jersey’s addiction helpline, ReachNJ, is at 1-844-732-2465. The SAMHSA National Helpline is 1-800-662-4357.

Starting

Call (856) 788-6914 or send a message. A clinician goes through your substance use history, your mental health history, your medical situation, and what your week looks like. Say that you are coming from Cherry Hill and ask outright whether the schedule works with the transportation you actually have, train included. We verify your insurance and tell you what your plan will and will not cover before you commit to a start date. The admissions page lays out the whole process if you would rather read it first.

If the assessment says you need a level of care we do not provide, we will tell you that and help you get there.

Questions people from Cherry Hill ask us

NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line runs from Cherry Hill station to Atco station in about 20 minutes, with one stop at Lindenwold, and Atco station is across Route 73 from our office, about two tenths of a mile away. Route 73 is a divided highway there, so cross at the traffic signal at Jackson Road, about three tenths of a mile north of our office, which makes the walk roughly half a mile. Trains run roughly every hour and a half to two hours, so only certain trips line up with our program hours. Check the current timetable with NJ Transit before you plan around it.

Does the 406 bus from Cherry Hill go to your office?

Not to the door. The 406 runs along Route 70 through Cherry Hill and Marlton, then down Route 73, and the trips that go all the way end at Berlin Circle Plaza, roughly two miles north of our office. Some trips end in Marlton. The train is the closer option.

No. Partial care runs Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., IOP runs 9:30 a.m. to noon, and we do not run an evening track. If your work schedule cannot move, tell us on the first call so we can point you toward a program that fits.

Do you provide detox or residential treatment?

No. We are an outpatient provider. If you need medically supervised withdrawal or a residential stay first, we help arrange it with a provider that offers it, and we can take you into outpatient care afterward.
