This place is different.  Different than any other treatment center I have ever experienced…in the best way possible.  The staff and ownership are truly devoted to helping people navigate the complex issues with substance abuse, PTSD and all sorts of mental health problems.  I am Firefighter and their first responder program is the best.  Perfectly designed for us.  If you are considering treatment this place has to be an option for you even if you have to travel here.  It’s worth every cent.  Thanks UWC, keep up the fantastic work!

My husband attended UWC for his CPTSD this past June.  I cannot speak highly enough of the support they not only gave to him, but to me. They were able to help him pinpoint where his traumas originated and how they layered on throughout his life- and then helped him unpack it all. He has a new understanding of himself, and has shown more empathy towards myself, our children and friends. He's able to navigate his own feelings of anxiety with much more confidence now too. When I asked his case manager to walk me through how to handle my husband mid panic attack, he didn't just tell me- he wrote me an actual step by step "script" to guide me. I was able to have video calls with his therapist and case manager once a week so we could talk through his progress together- which made the transition to him being home that much easier.  While it was difficult to have him away from home for nearly a month, it truly was worth it.

Where do I even begin? If you’re looking for a traditional treatment facility, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re a veteran or first responder who feels like you’ve lost yourself and you’re ready to fight to get your life back, this organization is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. You won’t be analyzed by just a clinician. You’ll connect with veterans and first responders who became clinicians because they, too, were once where you are now. They know what rock bottom feels like, not because they studied it, but because they lived it. That kind of understanding creates a level of trust that’s hard to put into words. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel like a patient. I felt understood. I was surrounded by people who challenged me, held me accountable, and gave me practical tools that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. And the best part of it that I didn’t expect; was creating bonds and friendships with other veterans/first responders that will last a lifetime. They won’t do the work for you,  no one can. But if you’re willing to be honest, lean into the discomfort, and trust the process, they’ll help you become a healthier, stronger version of yourself. I came here hoping to feel better. I left with something much more valuable: hope, purpose, and a brotherhood that reminded me I was never fighting this battle alone. To every clinician, peer support specialist, and staff member who poured themselves into us: thank you. You didn’t just help me heal, you helped me find myself again and made me the Dad/Husband I’ve always wanted to be.

I attended a 30 day inpatient program in March 2026.  This was my first experience with any kind of intensive therapy for recovery.  Being a veteran of the U.S. Army of the Iraq war, as well as a Police Officer in NJ for nearly 12 year, I arrived at the facility in a state of complete hopelessness.  More importantly was my attitude - "these things probably work for some people, but it won't work for someone like me". Within 48 hours of arriving, my anxiety was already half of what it was when I first arrived.  Within a week, I was experiencing a level of stability that I had not felt in almost 15 years.  Over the next 4 weeks I participated in the group discussions where I learned all about my conditions of PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and substance use disorder.  I also learned that the latter three conditions were all products of the PTSD.  By the end of my time there, I was a better husband and a better dad.  I am so thankful for that. Daily group therapy was facilitated by clinicians who were nearly all retired or former first responders/military themselves.  I also attended individual therapy sessions with a licensed therapist who addressed the root of my PTSD.  And met regularly with an individual case worker who ensured that any of my concerns were addressed quickly and completely.  Other services included chiropractic care and a relaxation room with massage chairs.  After the daily group sessions, we would either go to the gym (a local boxing gym) or do other wellness-oriented activities such as open water (kayak/paddle boarding), and breath works (relaxation and healing through breathing).  The residential house included a swimming pool, sauna, open spaces, and a friendly welcoming atmosphere.  Meals were cooked daily by Chef Joe, which were both delicious and healthy. The most profound thing that I realized while in treatment is that I was not alone in how I was feeling or the ways that I was dealing with my feelings.  Because of the group discussions, I learned that I did not need to feel so ashamed of the thoughts that weighed me down for so long. Because I had never attended anything like this before, I can't compare it to any other facilities or programs.  However, my experience with UWC went above and beyond any of my expectations.  3 months later I still refer to the notes that I took and keep in contact with the people I met in treatment, as well as the facilitators.  A huge positive of this program is that the online out patient program is available for the remainder of my life!  I log in when I am able to and still participate in the group discussions and listen to the classes. If I could give this facility 10 stars I would.  I truly wish that I had done something like this years ago because it would have helped me avoid a lot of pain and shame.  However, I am beyond grateful that I not only asked for help in my desperation, but that I ended up at UWC. If you are a first responder or veteran and you are suffering in silence - it is okay to say you are not okay.  I know that's the hardest part, but I promise you that there is still hope.  No matter what is going on, no matter how much you might think that you are alone, you are not.  This program is designed to show you just how much support you really have and just how fulfilling your life can really be.

Great place. Im a Marine combat vet and the programming here was incredibly helpful, innovative, and effective. Really glad I went and would recommend to anyone needing similar services. Richie my case manager was great, Tony the director was really helpful and the owner Ben was involved and present throughout the weekdays.

I reached out in a time of need. Within hours I was contacted and had a plan to go there for help.  I spent a month there and learned so much about myself and how to change for the better. There were a lot of instructors that were impactful.  Being a first responder I give a lot of credibility to past first responders teaching; especially after I hear their stories about how they got there. The activities were a blast.  From canoeing to boxing to the gym.  I was intimidated to box but that ended up being my favorite activity. The staff at the living quarters were very helpful and also wanted to make sure I was taken care of. I highly highly recommended first responders dealing with PTSD give UWC a chance to make an impact on improving one self.

As a police officer, I know the importance of trust, professionalism, and being surrounded by people who genuinely care. I can’t thank the entire staff and owners of Unified Wellness Center enough for everything they have done for me. From the outstanding accommodations—including the sauna, pool, beautiful residential space, fully stocked kitchen, and incredible meals prepared by their amazing chef—to the structured activities and personalized support, every detail was designed to help me succeed. They helped me achieve my health goals within the time frame I was given, but what truly sets Unified Wellness Center apart is its people. The staff isn’t just knowledgeable—they are compassionate, dedicated, and genuinely invested in every person’s success. They provided me with the education, encouragement, accountability, and support I needed to take control of my health and my future. In law enforcement, we often spend our careers taking care of others. Unified Wellness Center reminded me how important it is to take care of myself as well. They didn’t treat me like a client—they treated me like family. Leaving is bittersweet because I will truly miss every one of them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for giving me the tools, confidence, and support to reclaim my life. I am forever grateful. God bless each and every one of you.

This center saved my life. Firefighter, struggling with PTSD, depression and thoughts of suicide. The staff is invested, personable and committed to helping those who help others. Being amongst your peers in a safe, sober and supportive environment facilitated the needed healing and growth for me to work on problems that have plagued my life for years. The groups, activities and therapy are tailored and focused to provide a variety of modalities that contribute to the best outcomes of recovery. Highly, highly recommend Unified Wellness Center.
