Targeted Tracks for Veterans and Young Adults

The Center delivers tailored services for a few distinct populations. The Stars & Stripes track supports veterans and service members with trauma-informed care and staff familiar with military life. Young adults aged 18–35 engage in groups that focus on identity, life transitions, and future goals, an age-appropriate approach that reflects the emotional and social realities of early adulthood. A treatment track for professionals helps individuals manage the stressors and challenges that come with work and career goals.

Flexible Paths Toward Recovery

Treatment at Pinelands supports 12-step programs like NA and AA, but also offers non-12-step alternatives including Refuge Recovery, a Buddhist-inspired approach focused on mindfulness and self-inquiry. This choice helps clients find a recovery framework that aligns with their values and beliefs, which can lead to stronger, more sustainable engagement and lasting recovery.

A Restful Campus in the Pines

Located on a 40-acre wooded property in Medford, New Jersey, the facility includes walking trails, communal group rooms, spaces for yoga and meditation, and semi-private bedrooms. While bathrooms are shared, the setting is consistently described as peaceful and restorative. Many clients say the environment itself helped them feel grounded and supported during treatment.

What Patients Are Saying

Patients overwhelmingly describe their time at Pinelands as life-changing. They credit the staff’s authenticity and attentiveness as key to breakthroughs in treatment. While a few mention challenges such as long medication lines or rigid adherence to the 12-step model, these critiques are outnumbered by expressions of gratitude and connection. The alumni community and family involvement are often highlighted as sources of lasting support.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

The Joint Commission

The Joint Commission is one of the most trusted names in healthcare. If a rehab center has this accreditation, it means they meet strong national standards for safety, treatment quality, and staff training.

SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program

This is a federal certification for programs that offer medication like methadone or buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction. It means the center is legally approved to provide this care, follows strict safety rules, and combines medication with counseling to support long-term recovery.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
