About Us

Mountainside Treatment Center is a nationally acclaimed behavioral health network specializing in individualized alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs and services. We respect each client’s recovery journey and for over two decades, have proudly served thousands of people in need of holistic addiction treatment. By combining innovative clinical and complementary wellness therapies with a data-driven approach, we empower our clients to completely transform their lives and achieve long-term recovery.

Our Mission Statement

To raise the standard in comprehensive addiction treatment and provide an unsurpassed treatment experience to our clients.

Our History

In 1998, a small group of like-minded friends joined together to create Mountainside, a new type of alcohol and drug rehab program centered on the individual rather than a pre-determined treatment methodology. They believed that supplementing traditional counseling and 12-step practices with holistic wellness practices could vastly improve the efficacy of substance abuse treatment and better equip people with the tools they need to maintain long-term sobriety.

Our founders’ belief is now conventional wisdom.

However, we do not measure our success by the industry we changed; we measure it by the lives we have positively shaped.

Our Values

Compassion  –  We are deeply aware of the situations and circumstances impacting the lives of the individuals in our community and, through the delivery of compassionate care, strive to lessen the pain and suffering that alcohol and drugs have caused.

Professionalism  –  We provide the highest level of professionalism by adopting best practices from across all fields and working collaboratively toward the common goal of continually improving the quality of our holistic rehab programs and services.

Integrity  –  We adhere to moral and ethical principles by demonstrating honesty, confidentiality, and trust to all individuals and families whom we serve and hold our clients’ rights to privacy sacred.

Commitment  –  We are committed to providing an unparalleled healing experience to our clients in an environment of safety, wellness, recovery, and clinical excellence.
