    Heroin & Opioid Addiction in New Jersey

    Opioid addiction — including heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers, and synthetic opioids — is one of the most physically and psychologically demanding addictions to overcome. New Jersey has been among the hardest-hit states in the national opioid crisis, and the South Jersey region is no exception. At Cherry Hill Recovery Center, we provide comprehensive opioid addiction treatment that addresses both the physical dependency and the underlying causes driving the addiction — including referring clients to and coordinating placement with the right detox provider when medically supervised withdrawal is the necessary first step.

    Why Opioid Addiction Requires Specialized Treatment

    Opioids bind to receptors in the brain that control pain, reward, and emotional regulation. Over time the brain becomes dependent on opioids to function normally — making withdrawal not just uncomfortable but medically dangerous without proper supervision. Attempting to quit opioids or heroin without medical support dramatically increases the risk of relapse, overdose, and in some cases life-threatening withdrawal complications. This is why evidence-based, medically supervised treatment is not just recommended — it is essential. When detox is needed, we refer you to and coordinate with a trusted, medically supervised detox referral and coordination partner matched specifically to your clinical needs, substance history, and insurance coverage.

    Signs of Opioid Addiction

    Opioid use disorder develops gradually and can affect people from every background and walk of life. Common signs that someone may be struggling with opioid addiction include using opioids in larger amounts or for longer than intended, persistent cravings and preoccupation with obtaining the drug, continued use despite negative consequences at work, home, or in relationships, withdrawal symptoms when not using — including nausea, sweating, muscle aches, and intense anxiety — and building tolerance so that more of the substance is needed to achieve the same effect.

    Our Approach to Opioid Addiction Treatment

    Cherry Hill Recovery Center takes a whole-person approach to opioid addiction. We begin with a thorough psychiatric evaluation led by our medical team to understand your complete history — substance use, mental health, trauma, and physical health. From there we build a personalized treatment plan that may include referring you to and coordinating placement with the right detox provider if medically necessary, followed by medication assisted treatment with Suboxone or Sublocade, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programming, individual and group therapy, and dual-diagnosis care for co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Every step is coordinated by our team so there is never a gap in your care.

    Opioid Addiction Treatment Programs at Cherry Hill Recovery Center

    We offer multiple levels of care for opioid addiction — from detox referral and coordination through PHP, IOP, and ongoing MAT — so your treatment matches exactly where you are in your recovery.

    Detox Referral & Coordination

    When medically supervised detox is the right first step, we refer you to and coordinate placement with a trusted detox provider matched to your specific clinical needs, substance history, insurance, and location. We stay involved throughout and transition you directly into our PHP or IOP program upon completion — so your recovery never loses momentum.

    Learn About Detox Referral

    Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

    MAT using Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) or Sublocade reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings — making it the gold standard in opioid addiction treatment. Our medical team oversees all MAT prescribing and monitoring at Cherry Hill Recovery Center.

    Learn About MAT

    Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

    For individuals who need intensive daily support after detox, PHP provides 5–6 days per week of structured treatment including therapy, psychiatric care, and medication management — all coordinated seamlessly after your detox referral is complete.

    Learn About PHP

    Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

    IOP delivers structured addiction treatment 3–4 days per week — giving you the clinical support you need while maintaining work, family, and daily responsibilities. IOP is often the ideal step-down after PHP for opioid recovery.

    How Our Detox Referral & Coordination Process Works

    Cherry Hill Recovery Center does not operate an on-site detox facility — and that is by design. Rather than fitting every patient into one program, we take the time to understand your complete clinical picture — the substances involved, your medical history, co-occurring conditions, insurance coverage, and personal circumstances — and then refer you to the detox provider that is the best possible match for your unique needs.

    Our team maintains trusted referral relationships with medically supervised detox providers across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding region. We do not simply hand you a phone number — we coordinate directly with the receiving facility, communicate your clinical needs, and stay in contact throughout your detox so the handoff into our PHP or IOP program is seamless. You never have to figure out the next step on your own.

    For opioid and heroin detox specifically, we work to ensure that Medication Assisted Treatment — including Suboxone or Sublocade — can be initiated at the detox facility or immediately upon entry into our PHP or IOP program, dramatically reducing the discomfort of withdrawal and lowering the risk of early relapse.

    Medication Assisted Treatment for Heroin & Opioid Addiction in New Jersey

    Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the most clinically effective approach to treating opioid use disorder. Using FDA-approved medications like Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) or Sublocade (extended-release buprenorphine injection), MAT works by reducing the physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms that make early recovery so difficult — allowing patients to focus on the therapeutic work of rebuilding their lives.

    At Cherry Hill Recovery Center, MAT is always combined with therapy and counseling — never prescribed in isolation. Our medical team oversees all MAT protocols, ensuring each patient receives the correct medication, dose, and duration of treatment based on their clinical profile. For patients referred to detox, we work to ensure MAT can be initiated during or immediately following the detox process to bridge the gap between withdrawal management and long-term recovery programming.

    What Does Heroin & Opioid Withdrawal Feel Like?

    One of the biggest barriers to seeking treatment for opioid addiction is fear of withdrawal. Understanding what to expect — and knowing that medical support is available through our detox referral partners — can make it easier to take the first step. Here is a general timeline of heroin and opioid withdrawal with proper medical supervision.

    1. 6–24 Hours After Last Use

      Early Withdrawal Begins

      Initial symptoms include anxiety, restlessness, muscle aches, sweating, runny nose, and difficulty sleeping. When you call us, we begin the referral process immediately — our goal is to get you into medically supervised care before symptoms intensify.

    2. 24–72 Hours

      Peak Withdrawal Intensity

      Symptoms typically peak within the first 48–72 hours and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe cramping, elevated heart rate, and intense cravings. Medical supervision at a proper detox facility — which we refer and coordinate for you — is critical during this phase.

    3. Days 4–7

      Acute Symptoms Subside

      Physical symptoms begin to ease for most patients. Emotional symptoms — anxiety, depression, and cravings — may persist. This is typically when our team begins coordinating your transition from detox into our PHP or IOP program.

    4. Weeks 2–4 and Beyond

      Post-Acute Withdrawal (PAWS)

      Some patients experience lingering psychological symptoms including mood swings, sleep disturbances, and cravings for weeks to months after detox. Ongoing therapy through our IOP or PHP program, combined with MAT initiated by our medical team, provides critical support during this phase and significantly reduces relapse risk.

    You Do Not Have to Navigate This Alone

    Cherry Hill Recovery Center will refer you to the right detox provider for your specific needs and stay involved every step of the way — from your first call through detox and into our PHP or IOP program. Call 856-200-3127 to speak with someone now.

    The Fentanyl Crisis in New Jersey: What You Need to Know

    Fentanyl has fundamentally changed the opioid crisis in New Jersey and across the country. It is now present in the majority of heroin and counterfeit pill supplies — often without the user's knowledge. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, meaning even a small miscalculation in dose can be fatal. If you or someone you love is using heroin or any street opioid, fentanyl exposure is almost certain — and this makes medically supervised detox, which our team refers and coordinates for you, more critical than ever.

    50–100x

    More potent than morphine

    #1

    Leading cause of overdose death in NJ

    Narcan

    We help families access naloxone

    At Cherry Hill Recovery Center, we treat fentanyl addiction with the same evidence-based protocols used for all opioids — with additional clinical vigilance given the drug's extreme potency. When referring clients to detox, we specifically communicate fentanyl involvement to the receiving facility so the medical team is fully prepared. We also provide Narcan (naloxone) information and distribution guidance to patients and their families as a life-saving harm reduction measure.

    Treating Opioid Addiction & Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

    The majority of individuals struggling with opioid addiction have a co-occurring mental health condition — most commonly depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma. At Cherry Hill Recovery Center, we do not treat addiction and mental health as separate problems. Our clinical team's dual-diagnosis approach means that your psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic programming all address both conditions simultaneously. When coordinating your detox referral, we also communicate your mental health history to the receiving facility to ensure continuity of care from day one.

    DepressionAnxiety & PanicPTSD & TraumaBipolar Disorder

    Our dual-diagnosis program addresses all of these alongside your opioid treatment. Learn About Dual Diagnosis →

    Does Insurance Cover Opioid Addiction Treatment in New Jersey?

    Yes. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most major insurance plans are required to cover substance use disorder treatment — including opioid addiction treatment programs like MAT, PHP, and IOP. Insurance coverage for detox referral placement is also verified by our admissions team as part of the referral process, so you have complete clarity on your coverage at the detox facility before you arrive. At Cherry Hill Recovery Center our admissions team handles all insurance verification for both our programming and your detox referral so you can focus entirely on getting well.
