The DEA has labeled Paterson a high-intensity drug trafficking area. It’s home to more than its fair share of substance abuse and drug crime.
To improve the outlook for Paterson residents, people who are struggling with substance abuse need to know where they can get help and trust that the treatment available is effective. They need programs like the Opioid Response Team, which launched in 2022. This program uses data to target overdose hotspots and bring resources to those who need it most.
Efforts like this, which provide practical solutions – van outreaches, sidewalk tabling outreach, more social workers, and better referral processes – are needed to save lives in Paterson.

Levels of Care Available in Paterson
The centers that service Paterson residents offer most major levels of care. These treatment options range from medical detox and residential inpatient programs to outpatient clinics, dual diagnosis treatment and sober living homes. Below is a list of how many programs are available in the local area.
13 medical detox programs
10 inpatient rehab programs
16 standard outpatient clinics
14 dual diagnosis programs
6 sober living homes
Medical detox
Medical detox is an intensive inpatient program that is often your first step when you have a significant physical dependence on substances. Paterson has a strong detox infrastructure to help you begin your recovery journey. These programs use around the clock monitoring and medication approved by the FDA to manage your withdrawal safely before your ongoing treatment begins.
Inpatient and residential rehab
Inpatient rehab provides 24 hour care in a structured residential setting. This level of care is essential when you need 24/7 medical monitoring to protect your mental and physical health or need a safe space to begin your recovery.
Outpatient treatment
Outpatient care is the most common level of addiction treatment in Paterson that lets you live at home and keep working or caring for your family. Outpatient care may follow an inpatient or residential stay to continue your recovery as you reintegrate into the community. Outpatient care may also be your first treatment option.
Dual diagnosis care
Fourteen local programs treat co-occurring disorders and is also called dual diagnosis. This specialized level of treatment addresses a substance use disorder and a mental health condition simultaneously. Mental health conditions can include depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Treating these conditions at the same time tends to work better than treating either alone.
Sober living and aftercare
Six sober living homes provide structured, substance free housing for people who leave inpatient or residential treatment and need support as they reenter the community. You can also engage in ongoing aftercare while you live in a sober living home. Aftercare can include job coaching, therapy, counseling, 12 step programs and peer support. These resources help protect your long term recovery.
