Opioids and Alcohol in Jefferson Township

New Jersey recorded 59 addiction treatment admissions for Jefferson Township residents in 2024:

  • Alcohol: 22 (37%)
  • Heroin: 17 (29%)
  • Cocaine: 7 (12%)
  • Marijuana: 6 (10%)
  • Other opiates: 3 (5%)

Together, heroin and other opiates account for 34% of admissions, nearly the same as alcohol. Across Morris County, alcohol made up 53% and heroin 21%, so opioids play a bigger role in Jefferson than in the county overall. Our program treats both, with opioid addiction treatment and alcohol rehab.

Serving Milton, Oak Ridge and the Lake Hopatcong Area

Jefferson Township covers about 43 square miles in northwestern Morris County and is home to about 20,500 people. Mahlon Dickerson County Park sits between its two main sections, Milton and the Lake Hopatcong area, and the township also includes Oak Ridge, Lake Shawnee, Woodport, Hurdtown, Nolans Point and part of Newfoundland.

Route 15, Route 23 and Green Pond Road connect Jefferson with its neighbors, and the township shares a border with West Milford, where our office is. If you live in Oak Ridge, see our Oak Ridge drug rehab page and our Oak Ridge MAT page.

Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction

If you use heroin, fentanyl or prescription pain pills, medication can make recovery much more manageable. Our office-based medication-assisted treatment uses buprenorphine, which eases withdrawal and cravings, or naltrexone, which blocks the effects of opioids once you have stopped using. Naltrexone is also used for alcohol use disorder.

Medication is always combined with counseling in IOP or our outpatient program, so you get support for the habits and stresses behind your use, too.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs for Jefferson Residents

  • Partial care: several hours of treatment a day, several days a week, for people who need the most support without an overnight stay.
  • Intensive outpatient (IOP): three to four sessions a week of about three hours each, usually for eight to twelve weeks, on a day or evening track.
  • Virtual IOP: the same IOP sessions by secure video.
  • Outpatient program and aftercare: ongoing support with fewer sessions once you are more stable.

How to Reach Us From Jefferson Township

Our office is at 179 Cahill Cross Road, Suite 201, West Milford, NJ 07480.

From the Jefferson Township Municipal Building (1033 Weldon Road): follow Weldon Road to Milton Road, then take Oak Ridge Road, Route 23 South, Echo Lake Road and Macopin Road to Cahill Cross Road. The drive is about 16 miles and takes roughly 28 minutes.

  • From Milton: about 15.1 miles, roughly 26 minutes, via Macopin Road.

Routes and times from Google Maps, checked October 2026. Times vary with traffic.

Therapy in Our Outpatient Program

IOP sessions mix group therapy with individual counseling. In group, you work through cravings, triggers and daily stress with other adults going through something similar. In one-on-one sessions, you and your counselor focus on your own goals.

We use cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, include family therapy, and offer 12-step principles if they help you. Anxiety, depression and trauma are treated in the same plan through our dual diagnosis care.

Your First Steps

Call (855) 659-2310 or send our insurance verification form. We check your benefits, usually in about 15 minutes, and explain your costs. Next comes an assessment with a clinician, and then you choose your track and start date.

Paying for Treatment in Jefferson Township

Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana and TRICARE are among the plans we work with. Most commercial plans cover IOP and partial care. Admissions will explain your deductible, copays and expected cost before you begin, and private-pay options are available.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars, Hope Institute Changed My Life! I entered Hope Institute on September 1, 2026, seeking sobriety, and when I left on October 22, I walked away with so much more, hope, healing, self-worth, lifelong connections, and a renewed sense of purpose. My counselor, Cass, and the entire clinical team were absolutely phenomenal! Their compassion, dedication, encouragement, and genuine commitment to recovery made all the difference. Cass helped me face difficult truths, recognize my strength, and begin healing parts of myself I didn’t even realize needed healing. The residential staff were equally amazing! Their kindness, patience, encouragement, and genuine care created an environment where I felt supported, understood, and valued. They made even the difficult days a little easier and played such an important role in my recovery journey. Those 52 days weren’t always easy, but they were some of the most meaningful and transformative days of my life. I learned that recovery isn’t just about putting down alcohol, it’s about rediscovering who you are and creating a life you no longer need to escape from. I walked into Hope Institute hoping to get sober. I walked out believing in myself again. To Cass, the clinical team, and every member of the residential staff, thank you for helping me find my way back to myself. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. 💜 Hope Institute didn’t just help me change my life. It helped me realize my life was worth changing. 🌿 🌿

The Hope Institute has truly changed my life. Walking through these doors was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it quickly became clear that I was exactly where I needed to be. The staff here is extraordinary. Every counselor, therapist, nurse, tech, and support staff member genuinely cares about the people they’re serving. They don’t treat you like a number or a diagnosis. They treat you like a person worthy of recovery, respect, and hope. I especially want to recognize Carrie, the director. She is the kind of leader every treatment center should have. I’ve watched her advocate tirelessly for the people here, making sure each person gets the care, resources, and support they need. She is incredibly approachable, down to earth, and always willing to stop what she’s doing to listen. It’s obvious that this isn’t just a job for her. She has created a culture where everyone feels valued, safe, and cared for. Her leadership sets the tone for the entire program, and you can see its impact in every corner of the Hope Institute. The program itself is outstanding. It challenges you to be honest with yourself while giving you the tools to build a lasting recovery. Every group, every therapy session, and every conversation has helped me grow. Recovery isn’t easy, but the Hope Institute has created an environment where healing feels possible. The houses are clean, comfortable, and welcoming. They feel like homes, not institutions. That sense of comfort makes it easier to focus on the real work of recovery. What has surprised me the most is the community. The people here have become some of the biggest sources of encouragement in my life. I’ve laughed, cried, learned, and grown alongside people who understand exactly what this journey feels like. There is something incredibly powerful about recovering together. I came here feeling broken and overwhelmed by addiction. I’m leaving with hope, purpose, and confidence that I can build a better life. The Hope Institute didn’t just help me get sober. It helped me rediscover the person I was always meant to be. If you’re considering treatment for yourself or someone you love, I cannot recommend the Hope Institute highly enough. This place saves lives, and I will always be grateful that it helped save mine.

The Hope Institute changed my life; their program didn’t just help me to stay clean, it also helped me work towards who I want to be, it taught me how to live, how to feel, and how to believe that recovery is possible. The staff are incredible, compassionate, knowledgeable, patient, and committed to helping people heal. Every clinician, tech, and support staff member made sure I felt safe, understood, and respected. I learned tools that I use every day, and for the first time, recovery feels sustainable. The environment is welcoming, clean, and calm. My therapist Jillian listened without judgment, challenged me when I needed it, and supported me when I felt like giving up. This place gave me hope when I had none and saved my life in ways I’ll never fully be able to put into words. I am forever grateful for the guidance, honesty, community, and hope I found here

Jason Krail from the Hope institute was a breath of fresh air. He helped me and my family with so many things especially with mental health. Still to this day I keep in contact with Jason. His experience himself with drug addiction, mental health, and his beautiful journey through life gives me and a lot of people that I know proof that recovery works! I highly recommend The Hope Institute. 👏🏻

Jason Krail is truly exceptional at what he does. His compassion, professionalism, and genuine commitment to people in recovery make a real difference. Jason has a rare ability to meet people where they are, listen without judgment, and provide guidance that feels both supportive and empowering. You can tell he deeply cares about long-term recovery, not just checking boxes. Anyone working with Jason or being guided by him is in incredibly capable hands. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

The Hope Institute truly lives up to its name. They help people recover by creating a safe, supportive, and genuinely positive environment. What really stands out is how welcoming and family-like it feels for both the clients and the staff. You can really see the impact they make on people who come in for the first time feeling scared or confused. Over time, those same individuals begin to open up, come out of their shell, and actively participate in their recovery. That kind of growth speaks volumes about the care, patience, and compassion shown here. Everyone is treated with respect and understanding, and there’s a strong sense of community throughout the program. Recovery here feels hopeful, empowering, and uplifting. I’m truly grateful for the environment they’ve created.

Jefferson Township Rehab FAQs

Is there drug rehab near Lake Hopatcong or Milton?

Yes. The Hope Institute offers outpatient drug and alcohol rehab at 179 Cahill Cross Road in West Milford, about 26 minutes from Milton and 28 minutes from the Jefferson municipal building. Virtual IOP is also available from home.

Yes. We offer buprenorphine, often prescribed as Suboxone, and naltrexone as part of our medication-assisted treatment, always combined with counseling in IOP or outpatient care.

Your first appointment is an assessment with a clinician. You will talk about your substance use, health, mental health and schedule. From there, your clinician recommends a level of care, and you choose a day, evening or virtual track.

Jefferson Township is in northwestern Morris County. It borders West Milford in Passaic County; Sparta, Hardyston and Hopatcong in Sussex County; and Rockaway Township, Roxbury, Mount Arlington and Wharton in Morris County. It includes Milton, Oak Ridge and part of the Lake Hopatcong shoreline.

Dual diagnosis treatment is care for a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, such as anxiety, depression or PTSD, at the same time. In our program, the same team treats both in one plan, within your IOP or outpatient schedule. Learn more about our dual diagnosis treatment.

There is no set time limit. Some people take buprenorphine (Suboxone) for months and others for years, and the length is a decision you make with your prescriber based on how you are doing. Stopping too early can raise the risk of relapse, so any change in dose is planned gradually. At The Hope Institute, buprenorphine is prescribed alongside counseling in IOP or outpatient care.
