Three townships, one ZIP code
Outpatient Addiction Treatment Near Sicklerville, NJ
First, Which Sicklerville?
Sicklerville is a mailing address, not a town government. The 08081 ZIP code covers a large part of Winslow Township, roughly a third of it sits in Gloucester Township, and a small corner falls in Washington Township across the Gloucester County line.
That sounds like trivia until you need something from a government. A municipal court date is heard in your township’s court, not “Sicklerville’s.” The police who answer a 911 call are your township’s. The state counts your treatment record under the township too. If you are not sure which one you live in, your property tax bill or your voter registration will say.
We are in none of the three. South Jersey Recovery Program runs one office, at 1044 NJ-73 in Berlin, about six miles from the center of Sicklerville and a 10 to 15 minute drive from most 08081 addresses. Everything we do is outpatient. You live at home, and you come to us for treatment of substance use and any mental health condition sitting alongside it. Detox and residential treatment are not things we provide. When that is the piece you need first, we say so and help you find it.
The Drive From Sicklerville
Mostly county roads across to Route 73. No highway leg, no toll, and there is parking at the office.
Transit is the harder answer, so here it is straight. The NJ Transit bus routes that serve Sicklerville head toward Camden and Philadelphia, which is the wrong direction. The Atlantic City Rail Line stops at Atco, about two miles from our door, and the 554 bus runs the White Horse Pike through Berlin and Atco. Neither one reaches the office. Most people who come to us from Sicklerville drive or are driven.
Our office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Programming runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and there is no evening track, so a daytime job that cannot move is worth raising on the first call rather than after an intake.
Those hours are why a short drive is worth doing arithmetic on. Eight weeks of intensive outpatient at three days a week is two dozen round trips at a minimum, and partial care is five days a week. Almost nobody leaves outpatient treatment in a single decision. They miss a Tuesday, then a Thursday, and the commute is usually the reason that sounds most reasonable at the time.
What the State’s Numbers Say About Winslow and Gloucester Townships
New Jersey publishes substance use treatment admissions by the municipality where the person lives. The latest report from the state Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, the 2024 Substance Use Overview for Camden County, published in January 2026, covers calendar year 2024. Two limits come attached. Admissions are not people, since someone admitted twice in a year is counted twice, and only those who reached a licensed program that reports to the state appear at all. What follows shows who got to treatment. It does not measure how many people are using.
Winslow Township residents accounted for 363 treatment admissions in 2024. That ties Cherry Hill for fourth highest in Camden County, and Cherry Hill’s population is nearly twice Winslow’s: 74,553 to 39,907 in the 2020 Census.
Gloucester Township residents accounted for 518, second only to the city of Camden.
| Primary drug | Winslow Twp. | Share of Winslow | Share countywide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol | 140 | 39% | 37% |
| Heroin | 95 | 26% | 27% |
| Marijuana | 37 | 10% | 6% |
| Other opiates | 26 | 7% | 11% |
| Cocaine or crack | 25 | 7% | 10% |
| Methamphetamine | 21 | 6% | 3% |
| Other or unknown | 19 | 5% | 6% |
Two lines in that table stand out.
Methamphetamine is the first. Winslow’s 21 methamphetamine admissions were the second most of any municipality in the county, behind only the city of Camden with 29. Camden had more than six times Winslow’s total admissions. Winslow accounts for about 5 percent of the county’s admissions overall and about 11 percent of its methamphetamine admissions.
Marijuana is the second. One in ten Winslow admissions listed marijuana as the primary drug, against 6 percent countywide.
Why the Methamphetamine Number Matters for Treatment
Most of what people know about addiction treatment comes from the opioid conversation: buprenorphine, methadone, naloxone. Little of it transfers to methamphetamine.
There is no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder. Treatment is behavioral. What we provide is cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, individual therapy, and structure held over enough weeks for sleep, mood, and thinking to settle. Contingency management, a structured incentive program, has the strongest research base for stimulant use and is delivered in specialized programs. We do not run one, and you should know that before you choose us.
Two other things are worth knowing. Methamphetamine withdrawal is rarely medically dangerous in the way alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal is, but 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. The second is supply. What is sold as a stimulant is not reliably only a stimulant, and fentanyl turns up in it. Naloxone will not reverse methamphetamine, but it will reverse an opioid if one is in there. It does not reverse xylazine or medetomidine, which now turn up in the New Jersey supply as well, so give it, call 911, and keep waiting for the ambulance even if the person stays sleepy. New Jersey pharmacies dispense naloxone without a prescription, and through the state’s Naloxone365 program anyone 14 or older can get it free and anonymously at a participating pharmacy. Keep it in the house regardless of what you think you are using.
If marijuana is the issue, the principle is the same. No approved medication, treatment through therapy. Start with our page on marijuana addiction.
How Much of Your Week This Takes
Level of care is mostly a question of days. Partial care runs Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., which fits someone coming out of detox or a residential stay, or someone who needs treatment to be the main thing in the week for a while. Intensive outpatient is at least three days a week, three or more hours a session, and it is where most medically stable people with a safe place to sleep begin. Outpatient is one or two sessions a week, and people stay in it for months.
In partial care and intensive outpatient you also meet your individual therapist at least once a week. Groups are gender-specific, and we run groups for people managing a psychiatric diagnosis alongside substance use, which is dual diagnosis work. For opioid or alcohol use disorder, medication assisted treatment is part of the plan where it is appropriate.
One thing has to be settled before any of that. 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 needs medically supervised withdrawal first, which we do not provide and will help you arrange.
Who to Call When It Is Not Us
In an emergency, call 911. If someone is unresponsive, not breathing normally, or 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. For thoughts of suicide, call or text 988, or 911 if someone is in immediate danger or has already been hurt or taken something. Virtua runs a 24-hour emergency department at 100 Townsend Avenue in Berlin. Our own phone is an admissions line staffed on weekdays. It is not a crisis line.
If the trouble started with a court date, ask about Project SAVE. Camden County places counselors in municipal courts across the county to offer people facing non-violent charges a voluntary referral to treatment, regardless of ability to pay. Most of the county’s municipal courts take part. The court administrator in your township can tell you whether yours does. Project SAVE is a county program and we are not part of it. Separately, we do take court-mandated clients, and our case managers deal with the paperwork the court expects.
For everything else, the Camden County Office of Mental Health and Addiction, at (856) 374-6361, does not treat anyone itself but helps residents find services. If your part of Sicklerville falls in Washington Township, you are a Gloucester County resident and that county’s services apply instead. ReachNJ, the state addiction helpline, answers at 1-844-732-2465 from anywhere in New Jersey. The SAMHSA National Helpline is 1-800-662-4357.
What the First Call Covers
Call (856) 788-6914 or send a message. A clinician will ask about your substance use history, your mental health history, your medical situation, and what a normal week looks like for you, because the level of care depends on all four. Insurance verification costs nothing, and you will hear what your plan covers and what it does not before any start date gets set. If you would rather read the process through first, it is on the admissions page.
And if what the assessment points to is a level of care we do not run, we will say so and help you get to a place that does.

About six miles. We are at 1044 NJ-73 in Berlin, and from most addresses in the 08081 ZIP code the drive runs 10 to 15 minutes, mostly on county roads over to Route 73.
Is Sicklerville in Winslow Township or Gloucester Township?
Both, and a small part of it is in Washington Township in Gloucester County. Sicklerville is a postal name, not a municipality. The 08081 ZIP code covers parts of all three townships. Your municipal court, your police department, and the town your treatment data is counted under all follow the township, not the mailing address.
Is there public transit from Sicklerville to your office?
Not a practical one. The bus routes that serve Sicklerville run toward Camden and Philadelphia rather than toward Berlin, and the nearest rail stop to our office, Atco on the Atlantic City Line, is about two miles from our door. Most clients from Sicklerville drive or get a ride.
Do you treat methamphetamine use?
Yes, on an outpatient basis. There is no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder, so treatment is behavioral. We provide cognitive behavioral therapy, group work, and individual therapy. We do not run a contingency management program.
