Recovery is not the same for everyone. For those who need strong clinical support early in sobriety but do not require 24-hour supervision, ShoreBreak Recovery’s South Jersey Partial Care Program offers a structured and compassionate solution. This level of care bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and traditional outpatient services.
Located in the heart of the Jersey Shore, we offer more than just therapy. Our program is built around structure, healing, and community, so clients can rebuild their lives while remaining connected to family, work, and real-world responsibilities.
What Is Partial Care?
Partial care (PC) is a highly structured form of outpatient treatment. Clients participate in therapy, support groups, and wellness activities during the day but return home or to a sober living environment each evening. This model supports recovery while promoting independence and integration into everyday life.
Bridge From Inpatient Care
Our PC offers a structured step-down for individuals transitioning from detox or residential care. It also serves those whose life stressors or mental health symptoms require more support than traditional outpatient services can provide.
Support for Dual Diagnosis
This program is particularly well-suited for individuals facing both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, or personality disorders often benefit from daily structure, emotional support, and integrated care.
At ShoreBreak Recovery, our multidisciplinary team understands how substance use and emotional distress interact. That is why we treat both simultaneously, ensuring clients are supported in all areas of their recovery.
Why Choose Our Partial Care Program?
Not all treatment environments offer the same level of support, flexibility, or community. What sets ShoreBreak Recovery apart is our blend of personalized clinical care, peer-informed connection, and a calming coastal setting that promotes long-term growth.
Recovery in a Coastal Community
Located in South Jersey, our center provides a peaceful space for reflection and renewal. We keep our group sizes intentionally small, allowing each client to be heard, supported, and known by name. The nearby ocean serves as a reminder of resilience and change, core values we help clients build into their recovery.
Flexible, Personalized Care
At ShoreBreak Recovery, we understand that every recovery journey is unique. That is why our clinical team collaborates with each client to design an individualized treatment plan. The South Jersey Partial Care Program offers structure and accountability without rigidity, so each client can progress at a pace that supports healing and lasting change.
What We Treat
ShoreBreak Recovery specializes in dual-diagnosis care, treating both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach allows us to address the root causes of addiction while supporting emotional resilience and personal growth.
Substance Use Disorders
- Alcohol
- Opioids (heroin, prescription painkillers)
- Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, etc.)
- Stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine)
- Cannabis and other substances
Our approach combines clinical therapy, relapse prevention, and accountability to help clients disrupt harmful patterns and rebuild a stable foundation. We focus on treating the whole person, addressing both emotional health and substance use for lasting change. Every plan is thoughtfully designed and delivered with compassion by a team that understands the complexity of recovery.
Our Clinical Services and Treatment Approach
The South Jersey Partial Care Program provides structured, evidence-based treatment that supports both recovery and daily functioning. Services are delivered by a licensed, multidisciplinary team and are developed to promote stability, emotional regulation, and long-term progress.
Clinical & Therapeutic Services
Treatment is delivered through structured clinical programming that includes facilitated therapeutic sessions and regular individual counseling. These sessions address emotional regulation, relapse prevention, and healthy communication. Case management remains integrated throughout care to support treatment goals and continuity.
Evidence-Based Modalities
Treatment is grounded in proven therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These modalities help clients recognize patterns, manage emotional responses, and make more intentional decisions in everyday life.
Trauma-Informed Care & Wellness Integration
Treatment is delivered through a trauma-informed framework that prioritizes safety, respect, and pacing. In addition, wellness-based services such as mindfulness, movement, and stress-awareness techniques are integrated into clinical programming to support emotional regulation and overall stability.
Peer Support & Life Skills
Clients benefit from peer-informed support, recovery coaching, and life skills development embedded within the program structure. Focus areas include communication, time management, stress regulation, and routines that support independence after treatment.
Relapse Prevention & Recovery Planning
Relapse prevention strategies are reinforced throughout the program. Clients learn to recognize triggers, manage high-risk situations, and build routines that support continued recovery beyond partial care.
A Typical Day in our South Jersey Partial Care Program
Structure is essential to lasting recovery, which is why our South Jersey Partial Care Program provides five hours of clinical programming per day, five days a week. This 25-hour weekly schedule offers a consistent balance of therapy, accountability, and personal growth.
A typical day includes:
- Morning check-in or mindfulness session
- Two focused therapeutic sessions
- A midday break for lunch and light wellness activities
- Individual therapy or case management
- Afternoon skills group or relapse prevention workshop
This rhythm allows clients to stay engaged, grounded, and accountable without feeling overwhelmed. As they build momentum through these daily practices, they gain confidence in their ability to manage challenges and maintain recovery.
Transitioning Beyond Partial Care
As clients gain stability and progress in their recovery, many step down into our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Virtual IOP program or standard outpatient care to maintain continuity and therapeutic support. These programs offer a lower time commitment while continuing access to counseling, peer connection, and recovery tools. Our team works closely with each individual to guide a smooth transition based on clinical goals and personal readiness.
