Forge Health Mahwah serves people in northern New Jersey who are dealing with substance use and co-occurring disorders. Because the program is outpatient, participants live at home and attend sessions at the Corporate Drive location or online. Care is designed around each person s diagnosis and circumstances, with an emphasis on trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. The center's approach is evidence-based and trauma-informed. It combines individual work with group and family sessions, and staff include therapists trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. With treatment happening on an outpatient basis, people can keep up with work, school, and family responsibilities while getting structured support.
This Mahwah location does not provide housing; people come in for care and go home afterward. Three levels are available: therapy and counseling, outpatient care, and an intensive outpatient program with sessions scheduled several times weekly. Rooms are arranged to feel relaxed and open, and daylight reaches the areas where treatment happens. Sessions for couples and educational workshops for clients are among the offerings.
