Our combined reputation has been built through unyielding dedication to our patients and employees, focused on introducing innovative treatments, technology, and processes that lead not only to better patient care and customer service, but to the overall improvement of the health and wellness of our region.
As a Catholic healthcare ministry, we provide comprehensive and compassionate care that improves the health of the people we serve, with a vision to lead the communities we serve to be among the healthiest in the nation.
We offer personalized care for all health and wellness needs, including primary care, specialized care, urgent care, emergency care, screenings, and virtual health options, delivered close to home by high-ranking doctors.
Specializing in behavioral health and substance use disorders, our Journey Recovery Center provides person-centered, trauma-informed treatment through medication-assisted therapy, individual and group counseling, targeted case management, peer support, and career planning, partnering with community agencies to address barriers to recovery.
We serve individuals, families, the uninsured, and those facing financial hardships through programs like our Financial Hardship Program, ensuring access to medically necessary care regardless of ability to pay, while promoting emotional, mental, and physical well-being across the tri-state area.

What we treat

Treatment & Programs

Levels of Care

The Journey Recovery Center provides a comprehensive outpatient continuum designed for accessible, immediate support when a patient is ready. Treatment ranges from same-day walk-in crisis stabilization and intensive outpatient programming (IOP) to ongoing recovery groups and flexible virtual telehealth counseling.

Virtual Telehealth

Therapies

Drawing heavily on the Hazelden COR-12 model, the center purposefully integrates Medication-Assisted Treatment—including Suboxone, Sublocade, or Vivitrol—with routine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). For patients battling severe or treatment-resistant depression, the broader St. Elizabeth network also provides access to advanced interventions like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Addictions

Care at this facility places a strong clinical emphasis on treating severe substance use disorders, particularly alcohol and opioid dependencies. The medical team helps individuals navigate the challenging physical realities of withdrawal, transitioning them safely from active use into sustained, lifelong recovery.

Alcohol Use Disorder Opioid Use Disorder

Conditions

Treatment addresses the critical intersection of substance use and emotional well-being by providing specialized care for co-occurring mental health challenges. Multidisciplinary teams of psychiatrists and licensed therapists assess and treat the severe depression, anxiety, and psychological trauma that so frequently underlie addiction.

Issues

Navigating recovery often requires unknotting deep practical life stressors, which is why case managers here actively address the unique social determinants of health. The outreach staff directly helps clients manage legal concerns, secure sober living housing, negotiate transportation barriers, and even secure basic personal hygiene necessities.

Programs

The facility champions several highly specialized treatment tracks, most notably the Baby Steps Program, which safely guides pregnant women through substance use disorder without the fear of legal repercussions. They also spearhead the Lift Up Project, a unique initiative that introduces recovery pathways to at-risk, justice-involved individuals prior to their release.

On-site

Amenities

Rather than traditional residential amenities, Journey Recovery Center maximizes its unique community location inside the Life Learning Center to offer highly practical, life-building features. Patients have direct access to an on-site technology lab and interactive educational spaces designed to foster personal growth and career readiness.

Coverage

Payment

Rooted in a Catholic healthcare mission to serve regardless of financial status, the facility accepts Medicaid and Medicare while sustaining a generous Financial Hardship Program. Uninsured clients or those falling below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines receive active assistance from financial counselors to secure agency coverage or self-pay discounts.
