Straight and Narrow is built on a mission of structured, individualized care for high need and underserved community members.

Straight and Narrow's flagship offering at 508 Straight Street is its men's residential treatment program, providing both short-term Level III.7 and long-term Level III.5 care.
The program is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in New Jersey, with deep experience serving adults facing chronic substance use and dual diagnosis needs.
Daily life is built around structure, accountability and community, with work assignments, treatment team meetings, recreational activities and relapse prevention planning.
Clinical care draws on CBT, motivational interviewing, trauma informed counseling and 12 step approaches.

Levels of care
- Detox
- Anyone going through withdrawal has symptoms watched closely, with care that adjusts as things shift day by day in New Jersey.
- Inpatient / residential
- If home life feels shaky, living on site can give each day a stronger shape. Inpatient care sets up a structured setting where routines hold steady and recovery stays at the center.
- Outpatient
- When a session ends, the real practice begins at home and at work. People in outpatient care test new coping skills in ordinary days.
- Aftercare support
- Aftercare support matters most in early recovery, when old habits still tug and new routines have not set in yet. Staying connected helps a person move through that stretch.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Sessions look at how a substance use disorder and a mental health condition can fuel each other over time.
- Sober living
- When residents in New Jersey head out to jobs or classes each day, the house runs like any shared home. Rent and chores are shared by everyone who lives there.
