One stop on the Atlantic City Line
Outpatient Addiction Treatment Near Lindenwold, NJ
The End of the PATCO Line, One Stop From Our Door
From Lindenwold, a car is optional. Lindenwold station is the last stop on the PATCO line in New Jersey and a stop on NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line, and the next stop on that line is Atco, across Route 73 from our office at 1044 NJ-73 in Berlin. Few towns around us have that.
By road it is about six miles from the Lindenwold municipal building on the White Horse Pike, roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive outside rush hour. Treat those numbers as approximate.
Six miles sounds like nothing until you count the trips. 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. Someone without a reliable car for that many weekday mornings needs another way here, and from Lindenwold the timetable decides whether 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.
Lindenwold Station to Atco in Seven Minutes
NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line covers the one stop from Lindenwold station to Atco station in about seven minutes. 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.
The ride is short. The gap between trains is long: weekday trains run roughly every hour and a half to two hours. On the timetable in effect since May 31, 2026, the morning train that fits is the 8:23 a.m. from Lindenwold, which reaches Atco at 8:30, about an hour before a 9:30 start, and the office opens at 9. The train before it reaches Atco at 6:59, and the one after it arrives after 10, too late.
Coming From Philadelphia or Camden on PATCO
PATCO’s Lindenwold station, at 901 North Berlin Road, is the line’s New Jersey terminal and connects to the Atlantic City Line, so someone coming from Center City or Camden rides PATCO to the end and changes there. NJ Transit’s timetable lists the connections. A PATCO train leaving 15th-16th and Locust at 7:37 a.m., or Camden’s Broadway station (Walter Rand Transportation Center) at 7:47, reaches Lindenwold at 8:05, in time for the 8:23 to Atco. Going home, the 12:59 arrival at Lindenwold connects to a PATCO train at 1:15 p.m., and the 4:42 arrival connects to one at 4:58.
That is two systems and two schedules, and either can change. Confirm the Atlantic City Line with NJ Transit and PATCO with PATCO before your first day rather than relying on this page.
The 554 Bus and the Drive
NJ Transit’s 554 bus also starts at Lindenwold station and runs the White Horse Pike through Berlin and Atco toward Atlantic City. We have not found a bus trip that beats the train to our door, so for most people without a car, the train is the better choice.
By car, take the White Horse Pike (U.S. 30) southeast out of Lindenwold into Berlin, then Route 73 south for under two miles. There is parking at the office.
The Train Home Is Different for IOP and Partial Care
The afternoon timetable treats the two programs differently. A train leaves Atco at 12:52 p.m. and reaches Lindenwold at 12:59, which works after an IOP session ends at noon. Partial care ends at 3:30, and the next train after that leaves Atco at 4:35 p.m. and reaches Lindenwold at 4:42, so expect about an hour’s wait every afternoon.
That wait should not decide your level of care. Your clinical needs decide it. But if partial care is the recommendation and you are coming by train, know about the hour before the first week, not during it.
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.
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.
One Lindenwold Admission in Five Was for a Stimulant
New Jersey’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services reports treatment admissions by the municipality where the person lives. In its 2025 Substance Use Overview for Camden County, the most recent edition, dated July 2026, Lindenwold Borough residents accounted for 215 substance use treatment admissions.
| Primary drug | Lindenwold admissions | Share of Lindenwold | Share countywide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol | 79 | 37% | 39% |
| Heroin | 43 | 20% | 25% |
| Other opiates | 33 | 15% | 10% |
| Cocaine or crack | 29 | 13% | 12% |
| Methamphetamine | 12 | 6% | 2% |
| Marijuana | 11 | 5% | 7% |
| Other or unknown | 8 | 4% | 5% |
Cocaine and methamphetamine together account for 41 admissions, 19 percent, about one in five, against 15 percent countywide. Methamphetamine alone is 6 percent of Lindenwold admissions against 2 percent countywide. Lindenwold’s 12 methamphetamine admissions tied Pennsauken Township for third in Camden County, behind only Camden City and Gloucester Township, both of which had far more admissions overall.
Do not read too much into one year. In the state’s 2024 report, the stimulant share in Lindenwold was 14 percent. With 215 admissions, a small change in the count moves a percentage by several points.
The rest of the table sits close to the county. Alcohol is the largest line, 37 percent against 39 percent countywide. Heroin and other opiates together come to 76 admissions, 35 percent, the same as the county, though more of it in Lindenwold is other opiates rather than heroin.
These are admissions, not people. Someone admitted twice in the year is counted twice, and only admissions to licensed programs that report to the state are included. The table shows who reached treatment, not how many people in Lindenwold drink or use.
No Medication for Stimulants, and What Treatment Is Instead
Most of what people hear about addiction treatment comes from the opioid conversation: buprenorphine, methadone, naloxone. Little of it carries over to cocaine or methamphetamine.
No medication is FDA-approved for stimulant use disorder, so treatment is behavioral. Here that means cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and individual therapy, with the structure held over enough weeks for sleep, mood, and thinking to settle. The approach with the strongest research base for stimulant use is contingency management, a structured incentive program, and it is delivered in specialized programs. We do not run one, and you should know that before you choose us.
Stimulant withdrawal is rarely medically dangerous in the way alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal is. The depression that follows can be severe, and thoughts of suicide during it are a reason to call or text 988, or 911 if you have already hurt yourself or taken something. Our post on meth withdrawal covers the timeline.
What is sold as a stimulant is not reliably only a stimulant, and fentanyl turns up in it. A household where the drug is cocaine or methamphetamine still needs naloxone.
Alcohol remains the largest single line in Lindenwold, and alcohol carries the withdrawal risk that stimulants do not. If you drink heavily every day or take benzodiazepines daily, do not stop abruptly on your own. Withdrawal from either can cause seizures and 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. For opioids, 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.
Emergencies, Municipal Court, and County Help
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. What is sold as a stimulant is not reliably only a stimulant, so this applies whatever the person thinks they took. 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 emergency department is in Stratford. Jefferson Stratford Hospital, at 18 East Laurel Road, is under a mile and a half from the Lindenwold municipal building, much closer than the hospitals in Voorhees or Berlin. It is open 24 hours and has an emergency department. 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, or uses anything bought on the street, keep it where another person can find it, not where only that person can.
If the problem started with a court date. The agenda for Lindenwold’s November 12, 2025 borough council meeting listed a resolution authorizing a three-year Project SAVE agreement with the county, running from about January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, with the county paying the cost. 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. If you have a date in Lindenwold 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.
For a drunk-driving charge, the Camden County Intoxicated Driver Resource Center is at 375 North Main Street in Williamstown and has been run by Advanced Counseling Services since January 1, 2026. Call or text (856) 361-3019. If that charge, or anything else, keeps you from driving for a while, the train times above are how you keep coming.
Finding other options. The Camden County Office of Mental Health and Substance Use does not provide treatment itself but helps residents find services; its number is (856) 374-6361. ReachNJ, New Jersey’s addiction helpline, is at 1-844-732-2465, and 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 Lindenwold 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 Lindenwold ask us
How far is South Jersey Recovery Program from Lindenwold?
About six miles. Our office is at 1044 NJ-73 in Berlin. From the borough's municipal building on the White Horse Pike, the usual route is the White Horse Pike (U.S. 30) southeast into Berlin, then Route 73 south. Plan on roughly 10 to 15 minutes outside rush hour.
Can I get there from Lindenwold without a car?
Yes, on some trips. NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line runs from Lindenwold station to Atco station in about seven minutes, 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.
I live in Philadelphia or Camden. Can I take PATCO?
PATCO gets you as far as Lindenwold, its last stop in New Jersey. From there you change to NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line for one stop to Atco. On the current weekday timetable, a PATCO train that leaves 15th-16th and Locust at 7:37 a.m. connects at Lindenwold with the train that reaches Atco at 8:30. Confirm both schedules before you rely on the connection.
Do you treat cocaine or methamphetamine use?
Yes, on an outpatient basis. There is no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder, so treatment is behavioral: cognitive behavioral therapy, group work, and individual therapy. We do not run a contingency management program.
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.
