About Discovery Institute for Addictive Disorders/Detox
Discovery Institute for Addictive Disorders/Detox is a long-established drug and alcohol detox and residential treatment center situated on Conover Road in Marlboro, New Jersey, within Monmouth County. Operating 24 hours a day, the facility has been serving individuals and families across the region since 1970, offering a continuum of care that begins with medically supervised withdrawal management and extends through longer-term residential and outpatient programming. Its Medical Director, Joseph N. Ranieri, D.O., FASAM, FAAFP, holds dual board fellowship status in addiction medicine and family medicine — a credential set that signals serious clinical depth in detox and withdrawal management.
The center provides three distinct levels of care: Medical Detox, Residential Inpatient treatment, and an Intensive Outpatient Program. Medical detox at Discovery Institute is the entry point for individuals whose dependence on alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, amphetamines, methamphetamine, or prescription drugs requires supervised withdrawal in a structured clinical setting. The residential inpatient program allows patients to remain on-site for continued stabilization and treatment following detox, while the intensive outpatient program provides a step-down option for those transitioning toward greater independence.
Clinical services at Discovery Institute are delivered by a credentialed multidisciplinary team that includes a licensed clinical social worker and COO with a Doctor of Social Work degree, a LCADC-credentialed Clinical Director, and a Director of Nursing — all operating under the oversight of a FASAM-certified Medical Director. Therapeutic methods documented at the facility include individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, equine therapy, educational seminars, and relapse prevention programming. The center also addresses dual diagnosis presentations, treating co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, ADHD, and personality disorders alongside substance use disorders.
Discovery Institute serves young adults, adults, seniors, and men, and accepts a wide range of insurance coverage including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Horizon NJ, Tricare, Humana, Magellan, and several other major carriers, as well as state-funded insurance. For individuals or families facing a same-day detox decision in central New Jersey, the facility’s 24-hour availability and depth of clinical staffing make it a substantive option to evaluate. Admissions can be reached at (732) 333-3167.
