Our network of NJ rehabs provides research-driven, comprehensive treatment for drug and alcohol misuse and co-occurring disorders. Founded in 1974 by Jerry and Peg Diehl, the original “Seabrook” was developed out of a personal desire to share what the couple had learned while battling Jerry’s addiction years before.
Seabrook was acquired by Summit Behavioral Healthcare in 2020 and maintains the family-focused approach that continues to deliver on its promise as “the heart of recovery.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row class=”padb_50″][vc_column width=”1/2″ match_height=”yes” class=”bg_green”][vc_row_inner class=”pad_15″][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Seabrook’s Mission & Goals” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner”][vc_column_text class=”para white”]Seabrook is committed to providing exceptional addiction treatment through the healing of the body, mind and spirit. We encourage all patients to restore their lives by embracing a way of life based upon the 12-Step Principles of Recovery.
Our NJ rehab’s goal is to help men and women achieve meaningful abstinence. Addiction is a family disease, so whenever possible, we integrate families into the healing process. Participating relatives receive in-depth education about the disease of addiction and are taught healthy ways to support a family member’s sobriety. Depending on an individual’s needs and prior treatment experiences, we tailor services to their unique needs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ match_height=”yes” class=”bg_brown”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Seabrook Philosophy” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner”][vc_column_text class=”para white”]Alcoholism and chemical dependency are diagnosable, treatable diseases. Seabrook professionals view addiction as a primary disease that, without treatment, is progressive in nature. We strive to interrupt the disease process with multi-disciplined medical and psychiatric strategies that halt dependency on alcohol and mind-altering chemicals.
Seabrook’s addiction treatment program teaches clients that recovery is dependent on daily abstinence and is contingent upon the maintenance of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. We believe continued abstinence requires commitment to a daily recovery plan that uses proven 12-Step Recovery Principles and timeless philosophies of Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. Without a daily plan of action, addicted individuals may fall prey to triggers that sabotage physical abstinence and elicit a short- or long-term relapse.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fluid=”yes” class=”align_Center”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner class=”padl_45 padr_30″][vc_column_text class=”para black”]As a NJ rehab client, you are most likely to achieve recovery success when you:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text class=”para black”]
- Surrender and accept that you have a treatable disease.
- Acknowledge that you are responsible for daily sobriety maintenance.
- Understand the importance of family integration during the recovery journey. Chemical dependency causes complex, destructive family changes, and treatment helps with psychological social and emotional healing of clients and significant others.

Patients assist Seabrook’s nursing and clinical staff in the development of individualized treatment plans, which are based on diagnosis and recommended clinical recovery and therapy direction.

As you are reading this, chances are your loved one was just admitted to our facility. You may feel frightened, angry or confused—and these are normal emotions. To better understand the treatment process, please read the folder provided to you upon admission. The packet contains essential information about your family member’s stay and may answer many of your questions. The packet also contains a Family Questionnaire that should be completed and returned in the self-addressed envelope. If you did not receive a folder, please contact Seabrook at (888) 223-0298.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row attachment=”fixed” class=”green_greadient top_bott”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Detox Information for Families” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner white”][vc_column_text class=”para white”]If your parent, child or another loved one enters detox, the first few days will be a “blackout phase.” This means no contact with the outside world, including family members and significant others. This gives patients time to adjust and develop their treatment focus, and gives families time to catch their breath and emotionally prepare for the weeks and months ahead. Be aware, however, that if a patient insists on an outside phone call, they have the right to reach out to you. Please set boundaries with your loved one and do not allow them to call frequently. For assistance in setting boundaries, please contact us at:
(888) 223-0298During the blackout phase, client treatment consists of medically indicated detoxification and orientation —which prepare men and women for the therapeutically intensive component of their stay. This component commences when a participant is assigned to a clinical team comprised of a Primary Therapist, Case Manager and Family Therapist. The Primary Therapist provides HIPAA-compliant progress reports and discusses aftercare plans with family members on a weekly basis.
Admission to our NJ rehab can be difficult for families. We are happy to help, but please limit phone calls to our clinical team to once per week, since frequent calls distract from our time spent with patients.
Thank you for entrusting your loved one’s health and well-being to Seabrook’s CARF-accredited team. You will find that Seabrook is a place for family, a place where individuals are loved and affirmed—and a place where addicts receive the tools and directions they need to engage in a healthy, substance-free way of life. We look forward to helping you reclaim your family from the ravages of disease—and helping you claim the promise of recovery![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row class=”content_pad”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Important Information for Our New Clients” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner black”][vc_column_text class=”para black”]When you arrive at one of Seabrook’s NJ treatment centers, you will be asked to adopt attitudes and behaviors that foster honesty, open-mindedness and willingness. Should you decide to partner in our program, it is normal to experience the following:
- Emotional vulnerability
- Physical discomfort (during detoxification)
- Trust-related anxiety
- Risk-taking opportunities
- Fear of change & growth
