Community at Valley Spring
Valley Spring Recovery Center works in Bergen County on four fronts: education in schools, workplaces and faith communities; connection through monthly alumni meetings, family workshops and open houses; advocacy with Alumni in Recovery, NCADD and the New York Yankees' Mental Health Awareness Night; and recovery as the reason for all of it. Every event is free, and you can sign up right here.
Open to the Community
Most months there is something happening at 830 Broadway. Everything is free; a seat is reserved through Eventbrite so we know how many chairs to set out, and the alumni meeting always has a Zoom link for anyone who cannot make it to Norwood.

Community Outreach & Partnerships
Four initiatives carry most of the outreach: high-school advocacy through Alumni in Recovery, Mental Health Awareness Night with the New York Yankees, the Daniel Mulroy Jr. Invitational, and the NCADD recognition that followed. Below them are the partner types the outreach team works with every week.
CEO Brian Cellary serves on the board of Alumni in Recovery, a nonprofit that connects young people with recovery role models. He shares his own story at local high schools, speaking directly with students about addiction risk and what recovery looks like.
Brian's firsthand account reframes addiction as a treatable medical condition rather than a moral failing, which is the message prevention education in middle and high schools needs most.
Speaking engagements are coordinated with school counselors, athletic departments, and parent-teacher organizations across Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, and Rockland counties.
Valley Spring Recovery Center is a recurring partner of the New York Yankees' Mental Health Awareness Night, using this high-visibility platform to extend education and resources to a stadium-wide audience and broadcast viewership beyond the ballpark.
This partnership symbolizes Valley Spring's broader effort to normalize conversations around mental health and addiction on a national stage. By participating in events that draw over 300,000 live attendees annually, Valley Spring significantly amplifies its outreach and aligns with major institutions promoting behavioral health.
Stadium engagement includes mental health literacy materials, crisis line information (988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), and on-site staff available to direct attendees to local treatment resources. The partnership has reached an estimated 1.5 million attendees and viewers cumulatively.
Valley Spring annually hosts the Daniel Mulroy Jr. Invitational, a memorial golf outing that honors Daniel Mulroy Jr.'s memory while raising funds and awareness for mental health and substance use disorder treatment access.
The event builds community through remembrance and acknowledges the realities of substance use loss. Proceeds support education programming and recovery resources for families in need, including scholarship support for clients without adequate insurance coverage.
Sponsors and participants include local businesses, healthcare providers, treatment alumni, and families who have lost loved ones. The Invitational is a fixed point on Valley Spring's annual calendar and a connection point for families navigating grief and recovery.
In recognition of his leadership in the recovery field, Brian Cellary was named Businessman of the Year by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD). The award was presented by New York State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, acknowledging Brian's impact both inside and outside the treatment center.
The honor reflects Valley Spring's institutional credibility and ongoing effort to drive change at policy and community levels. The center's approach combines evidence-based treatment with civic leadership.
Valley Spring has been featured in regional behavioral health publications and serves as a referral partner for hospitals, EAPs, and community coalitions throughout the NJ-NY metro area.
Who Valley Spring Partners With
Valley Spring works across the sectors that touch the same individuals and families affected by addiction. Partnerships are built on consistent communication, clear referral pathways, and a shared commitment to evidence-based, stigma-free care.
Primary care, emergency departments, psychiatric inpatient units, and behavioral health hospitals refer patients into Valley Spring's PC and IOP programs for step-down care, dual-diagnosis treatment, and MAT coordination.
Valley Spring works with regional EAP networks to coordinate confidential employee referrals, FMLA documentation, short-term disability paperwork, and return-to-work clearance under HIPAA protections.
Speaker requests, prevention curriculum support, parent education nights, and athletic department engagements are coordinated with Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, and Rockland county schools.
Police, fire, EMS, and corrections departments partner on the First Responder IOP, peer support coordination, and critical incident response. Confidentiality protections meet HIPAA standards.
Clergy and faith-based recovery groups partner on stigma reduction, naloxone training, and pathways into clinical treatment when faith-based support alone is insufficient for a member's needs.
Valley Spring collaborates with NCADD, Alumni in Recovery, regional coalitions, and family-led advocacy groups on awareness events, legislative engagement, and overdose prevention.
Family & Alumni Community
Thrive is the lifetime alumni community every Valley Spring graduate joins; it is not a level of care. Thrive Together is its monthly meeting. The Family Program runs alongside it for the parents, partners and siblings who are in this too.
Alumni gather monthly at 830 Broadway for peer connection and recovery support, with dinner served and a Zoom link for anyone who cannot travel. Quarterly outings add sober social events around Bergen County, and one-off gatherings such as the Sound & Soul alumni reset at a hot-yoga studio in May 2026 round out the year.
Alumni Coordinator Jordan Lewis-Robinson runs the calendar, and alumni are part of the outreach itself: guest speakers such as Kendrick Perkins have addressed a Thrive Together meeting, and alumni voices carry the site's films. Every alumni event is free for Valley Spring graduates; the Thrive alumni program page explains what membership includes.

Inside the Alumni Program
Addiction affects a family system, not only one person. Valley Spring's clinical model includes structured programming for families: education about addiction as a chronic brain disorder, family role identification, boundary practice, communication repair, relapse response planning, and integration with mutual support groups such as Al-Anon and Nar-Anon.
The Family Program is a 6-month, 6-session workshop open to both Valley Spring families and the public, and its education workshops appear on the events calendar above as they are scheduled. For workshop dates, call (201) 781-8812.
