New Addiction Treatment Center Opens At Cooper Cherry Hill
CHERRY HILL, NJ — A new 90-bed inpatient drug and alcohol treatment center has opened at Cooper Health in Cherry Hill, the health system announced on Tuesday.
The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper offers a full continuum of care for adults struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. It opened on Monday.
"With the opening of The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper, we are bringing together the expertise of Cooper and Advanced Recovery Systems to fill a gap in the continuum of care and offer much-needed effective, quality treatment for those seeking recovery from addiction,” Cooper University Health Care Board of Trustees Chair George E. Norcross III said.
Cooper opened the facility alongside Advanced Recovery Systems, a national leader in operating effective treatment centers for those struggling with drug addiction. Cooper’s Emergency Department in Camden treats between five and 20 patients daily, on average, for opioid overdose or other opioid-related health issues.
“The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper combines the expertise and experience of the teams at Advanced Recovery Systems and Cooper’s Addiction Medicine Program to offer local residents advanced substance abuse treatment and fill an existing gap in the continuum of care for local patients,” Cooper co-CEO Anthony J. Mazzarelli said.
“We’re honored to partner with Cooper University Health Care to help more individuals in need of safe, effective addiction treatment,” Advanced Recovery Systems Chief Executive Officer Mitchell Eisenberg said. “We look forward to serving the South Jersey and surrounding communities by providing patient-centered, evidence-based treatment at our newest facility.”
The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper will be part of the Advanced Recovery Systems nationwide network of accredited rehab centers, which provide addiction and mental health treatment to adults and adolescents. It will accept most private insurance policies with private pay rates available.
“Substance abuse and the opioid epidemic have continued to plague far too many individuals throughout the nearly year-long battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper will provide hope and a pathway forward for those members of our communities in need of effective treatments,” Cooper co-CEO Kevin O’Dowd said.
