Yes. Valley Spring is dual-licensed by NJ for both substance use disorder (#200887) and mental health (#70420104) treatment, which makes integrated dual-diagnosis care possible under one roof. Common co-occurring conditions treated include depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and trauma.
Three structural differences: (1) outpatient-only with a tightly defined NJ commuter radius — clients keep their jobs, homes, and families during treatment; (2) intentionally small at 8:1 staff-to-patient ratio with process groups capped at 10; (3) dual NJ licensing means SUD and mental health are treated together by the same clinical team, not handed off between providers.
