How We Rank Listings
Every facility on this page is drawn from our directory of licensed and accredited treatment providers serving Camden and the surrounding Camden County area. Listings are organized to help you compare real options by the care they provide, the people they serve, and the ways they accept payment, rather than to reward whoever paid the most.
We give weight to providers that hold recognized third-party accreditation, maintain current New Jersey licensure, and publish clear information about their services. Where a program offers medication-assisted treatment, specialized tracks, or financial assistance, we surface those details so they factor into your decision. Sponsored placements are labeled as such, and a listing’s position is not a clinical endorsement. Verify current services, availability, and insurance acceptance directly with any center before enrolling.
Rehab in Camden: What to Know
Camden is the seat of Camden County, a South Jersey city on the Delaware River across from Philadelphia. The New Jersey rehab directory lists 15 treatment providers in and around the city, weighted toward outpatient and dual diagnosis care, covering most addiction treatment options people need close to home.
Camden is home to Cooper University Health Care and the nationally recognized Camden Coalition, and a high share of local programs accept Medicaid and offer sliding-scale or free care, which matters in one of New Jersey’s highest-need cities. Statewide, anyone can reach treatment through ReachNJ, a free 24/7 helpline regardless of insurance or ability to pay, and because New Jersey expanded Medicaid, NJ FamilyCare covers the full continuum of care for eligible residents.
Camden County recorded the largest single-year overdose decline in its history in 2024, though it remains over-represented in the state’s overdose burden. Opioid use disorder and fentanyl still drive most deaths, so quick access to treatment and naloxone remains essential.
Cost of Rehab in Camden
There is no single price for rehab in Camden. Cost depends on the level of care, how long treatment lasts, whether a program is public or private, and what your insurance covers. Outpatient counseling is the most affordable option, medical detox and residential care cost more because they include around-the-clock supervision, and medication-assisted treatment falls in between. Local figures track New Jersey averages, and most people pay far less than the sticker price once insurance, Medicaid, or a sliding fee scale is applied.
Most people do not pay these amounts out of pocket. Because New Jersey expanded Medicaid, NJ FamilyCare covers the substance use continuum for eligible residents with little or no out-of-pocket cost, and Camden has an unusually high share of programs that offer sliding-scale fees and financial assistance. The IME Addictions Access Center connects Medicaid and uninsured residents to care, and treatment scholarships and financial assistance can help with private programs.
How to Pay for Rehab in Camden
Across the treatment centers listed for Camden, every program accepts self-payment and most accept NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid). Financial assistance and sliding-scale fees are widely available, reflecting the city’s high-need profile, along with private insurance, financing, Medicare, and TRICARE. The cards below show how many Camden programs in our directory accept each payment type.
Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare)
NJ FamilyCare, New Jersey’s expanded Medicaid program, covers substance use treatment, including medication-assisted treatment, detox, and counseling, for eligible residents. Nine Camden programs accept it, one of the higher shares in the region, and the IME Addictions Access Center can connect Medicaid and uninsured residents to care.
Medicare
Medicare covers medically necessary addiction treatment for eligible older adults and people with qualifying disabilities. Three Camden programs accept it. Coverage and copays vary by plan, so it helps to understand how Medicare and private insurance apply to rehab before you enroll.
Military Benefits
Three Camden programs accept TRICARE for active-duty service members, retirees, and eligible family members. Veterans can also access care through the VA, and more addiction resources for veterans and military families are available regionally.
Insurance and Private Pay
The Affordable Care Act requires most health plans to cover substance use treatment as an essential health benefit, though your deductible and network still shape the final cost. Verifying benefits before admission tells you what a program will actually cost you.

Levels of Care Available in Camden
The centers listed for Camden cover the major levels of care, from medical detox and residential inpatient programs to outpatient clinics, dual diagnosis treatment, and sober living. The cards below show how many programs in each category are available locally.
Medical detox
Medical detox is the first step for people with significant physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, or other substances. Programs use around-the-clock monitoring and medication to manage withdrawal safely before a person steps into ongoing treatment.
Inpatient and residential rehab
Inpatient rehab provides 24-hour care in a structured residential setting, which suits people who need medical monitoring or a break from a high-risk environment early in recovery.
Outpatient treatment
Outpatient care, the most common level in Camden, lets people live at home and keep working or caring for family while attending scheduled treatment. It often follows residential care as a step down.
Dual diagnosis care
Ten local programs treat co-occurring disorders, addressing a substance use disorder and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD at the same time, which tends to work better than treating either alone.
Sober living and aftercare
A local sober living home provides structured, substance-free housing for people leaving treatment, and ongoing aftercare, including counseling and peer support, helps protect recovery over the long term.
Specialty Programs in Camden
Beyond general treatment, several Camden programs tailor care to specific groups and substances. The grid below shows the number of programs offering each specialty.
