Our individualized care gives an individual with a mental health diagnosis the opportunity be treated as a whole person, not a diagnosis. The staff works to erase the stigma of the mental health label and treat every individual as a person first.

Treating mental health and substance abuse together gives individuals a chance to uncover the root of their problems without struggling with what came first, mental health or substance abuse. We help individuals identify trauma, history and the real reason for substance abuse.


Whether treating substance abuse, mental health diagnoses or dual diagnoses, our model is the treatment of the individual, not the treatment of the diagnosis. In this way, treatment is specifically tailored to the individual client.

Treating mental health conditions is (often) no simple journey. Choosing Water Gap Wellness Center’s mental health PHP near NJ is the first step on a lifelong journey. Because many people who enter mental health treatment also struggle with addiction, we will work with you to ensure your treatment program addresses both conditions as part of one simultaneous dual diagnosis treatment plan. Although it is possible to treat one condition or the other, it is not beneficial to approach dual diagnosis treatment in that manner. To fully recover, it is vital to healing from both conditions to limit the possibility of relapse in the future.

At Water Gap Wellness Center, we understand that comprehensive medical, emotional, and spiritual support is vital to lasting recovery. Comprehensive treatment is essential to helping you learn and practice vital coping skills you will need as you transition out of the therapeutic setting. Many people do not think about relapse prevention as part of a mental health treatment program; however, when you recover from a mental illness, it is possible to experience symptom relapse. There are several causes for this, including trigger exposure or using substances to self-medicate symptoms. It is essential to understand your triggers and how to safely and successfully manage them to maintain lasting recovery.

Many PHP programs near NJ provide exercise programs, nutritional counseling, and alternative therapy options (equine-assisted therapy, etc.) in addition to evidence-based, traditional therapy, group activities, and peer support groups. Acknowledging a struggle with mental health or co-occurring mental health and addiction is the first step on your journey to healing, but acknowledgment is only the first step. It is essential to contact a PHP for mental health like Water Gap Wellness Center to start your recovery journey.

    Going to Watergap Wellness was the best possible choice for the improvement of my mental health and my struggles with addiction. The program is very well organized and run in a fashion that is conducive to learning the fundamentals of recovery. All of the staff clearly take pride in the development and progress of the clientele. My therapist Andrew and the recreational therapists Tracy and Sheldon, listened to me very carefully and gave me great advice and input that I will use for the rest of my life. This program has given me a life far greater than I could have ever imagined before attending it.Additionally, the facility is located on the most beautifully maintained golf course in the world. The breathtaking scenery makes the evenings there feel like a luxury vacation.
