About Summit Oaks Hospital

Summit Oaks Hospital operates at 19 Prospect Street in Summit, New Jersey, serving Union County and the surrounding region as a behavioral health hospital. As a Joint Commission accredited facility, Summit Oaks delivers psychiatric and substance use care under hospital-grade clinical standards.

The hospital’s addiction services are oriented around outpatient programming for adults navigating substance use disorders, often in conjunction with co-occurring psychiatric conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. Group therapy, individual counseling, and medication management form the core of clinical work, supported by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the primary evidence-based modality.

Summit Oaks has long been a recognized behavioral health resource in northern New Jersey, and is referenced in regional directories as a Summit, NJ substance abuse treatment provider.
