About

About John Brooks Recovery Center

John Brooks Recovery Center (JBRC) is a long-running South Jersey substance use treatment program now operating as part of AtlantiCare Addiction Services. Its primary campus is in Mays Landing at 1455 Pinewood Boulevard, with an additional Atlantic City location at 1315 Pacific Avenue. The program has served the South Jersey community for more than 50 years as a not-for-profit dedicated to addiction recovery.

Clinical programming spans the full continuum of substance use care: medical detox, inpatient residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), outpatient services, and telehealth. The program emphasizes individualized, evidence-based care, with family engagement explicitly integrated into the model — recognizing that addiction affects not only the individual but their loved ones. The treatment team takes a compassionate, no-judgment approach to substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns.

The program is CARF-accredited and has been recognized locally, including “Best Drug and Alcohol Treatment – Gold” in the Best of the Press awards. As part of AtlantiCare, JBRC connects to a wider not-for-profit health system that supports continuity of care and access to broader medical resources. SAMHSA records document a wide service profile including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, older adults, men and women, court-involved clients, people with HIV/AIDS, and deaf or hard-of-hearing clients.

Documented payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, self-pay, and state insurance. Specific carrier names accepted are not surfaced in the public source material reviewed for this profile — prospective patients should verify their plan with the admissions team.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

John Brooks Recovery Center provides medically supervised detox services for alcohol withdrawal, opioid detox, and benzodiazepine withdrawal at their Atlantic City facility. The center's medical detox program operates under CARF accreditation standards, ensuring patients receive appropriate withdrawal protocols and 24/7 medical supervision during the acute detox phase.

Their detox programs specifically address co-occurring disorders, allowing patients with dual diagnosis conditions to receive integrated treatment for both substance withdrawal and mental health symptoms. The facility's experience treating trauma and PTSD alongside addiction makes it particularly suited for patients with complex withdrawal needs requiring specialized medical attention.

Levels of Care and Treatment Progression

Following medical detox completion, patients can transition into residential treatment or outpatient programs based on their clinical assessment and ongoing care needs. The residential program provides continued support as patients stabilize after withdrawal, while outpatient services allow individuals to maintain work or family responsibilities during treatment.

Treatment incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary therapeutic method, supplemented by complementary approaches including acupuncture, meditation, and yoga. These evidence-based interventions help patients develop coping strategies for managing triggers and preventing relapse following successful completion of medical detox.
