Acenda Sewell

Acenda Integrated Health (also called simply Acenda) is a nonprofit behavioral healthcare provider offering over 100 life-enhancing services throughout New Jersey. Acenda serves individuals of all ages, plus families. They specialize in serving at-risk individuals and families throughout New Jersey, including at this Gloucester County site with Genoa Healthcare. Acenda has accreditation from the Joint Commission and the state of New Jersey.
Their outpatient treatment, typically lasting 12-16 weeks, is open to anyone. For women, there is also a nearby building for residential treatment, which typically lasts 3-10 months. The residential treatment building, named Pettirosso, has staff on-site 24/7 to help women with medical and psychological concerns. After residential treatment, Acenda can treat clients with their "partial care" program that helps ladies transition from inpatient treatment to a less intense level of outpatient care in a safe manner.
Their treatment takes an evidence-based approach that includes the common talk therapies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with medication-assisted therapies (MAT) and medication management. Some less common therapies that Acenda has experience facilitating are parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) for cases where those therapies apply. They can also tweak their therapy to meet the needs of veterans, individuals with autism, pregnant women, and moms with kids up to 3. Acenda serves people in in both their physical locations and their HIPAA-compliant video platform.
Since this location is near Rowan College, Acenda works with the campus to serve the students and faculty there.
Acenda's website has their full list of offerings, including crisis intervention, preventative services, and temporary homestays. They have additional webpages for the event calendars at their Family Service Centers. Their listings on Recovery.com catalog the mental health and substance use treatments at their locations that include those services.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Acenda Sewell offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Acenda Sewell works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
