SOBA New Jersey opened its doors in 2014 with the goal to provide a higher quality of care than the standard typically delivered by other drug rehabilitation centers. This goal is the driving force behind our treatment philosophy and approach. Our passion for helping our clients achieve a better life grows stronger every day as we continue to be the benchmark of addiction treatment excellence. Since our inception, we’ve become one of the premier drug rehabs in New Jersey. We are accredited by The Joint Commission, and our detox, clinical, and housing facilities are located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, each in walking distance from Rutgers University.

We have the most dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the field working on our team. It is these people who carry out our vision on a daily basis. The strength of our program lies not with any single individual, but rather in the sum of all our experiences, qualities, and skills. All members of our team hold core values that mirror those of our foundation as a whole. Individually and together, we treat all of our clients with respect, compassion, and understanding.
