About

About Straight and Narrow Inc Womens Treatment

Straight and Narrow Inc Womens Treatment is the women-specific residential track of Straight & Narrow, a Catholic Charities ministry of the Diocese of Paterson that has served northern New Jersey since 1954. Originally founded as a treatment program for male alcoholics, the organization expanded over its more than six decades of service into the largest community-based residential treatment provider of its kind in the United States, with women’s residential care now part of its core service line.

The women’s program in Paterson focuses on residential treatment for substance use disorders including alcohol and opioid addiction. Medication-assisted treatment is part of the clinical approach, integrated with counseling and structured residential living. Straight & Narrow maintains a detoxification unit that accepts walk-ins meeting medical criteria for admission Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and women in need of withdrawal management can be evaluated alongside the residential intake process.

Following a 2019 fire that destroyed the organization’s former 410 Straight Street building, Straight & Narrow planned and developed a new centralized state-of-the-art Substance Abuse Treatment Center to consolidate most services in one location. The rebuilt campus includes a men’s halfway house, clinical office space, outpatient treatment facilities, recreational space, and energy-efficient dining and administrative areas, reflecting a renewed commitment to professional and compassionate service.

As part of Catholic Charities, the program brings a faith-informed philosophy of compassionate care to addiction treatment while operating as a licensed clinical provider. Payment options include Access to Recovery (ATR) vouchers, supporting low-income New Jerseyans who might otherwise face barriers to entering residential care.
