Call (732) 495-1474IOP in Hazlet, NJ
By the time the workday ends and the commute home is done, the idea of driving another 20 or 30 minutes to a treatment program feels like a nonstarter. That is how weeks turn into months of telling yourself you will deal with it later.

Built for People With Demanding Schedules
Hazlet is a commuter town. Some take the North Jersey Coast Line into the city. Others sit on Route 36 or the Parkway. The median household income is around $121,000, which sounds comfortable until you factor in New Jersey property taxes, childcare, and the cost of simply getting to and from work every day.
Most adults here are stretched thin on time even before adding treatment to the mix.

Schematic — not to scale
Why a short trip matters
- Resa, from Hazlet 300 State Route 35, Unit 1&2 — from most Hazlet neighborhoods
- Average Hazlet commute to work Census: 32.8 minutes each way — not a treatment provider
For a program that asks you to show up several times a week, a short trip makes it easier to keep going. The second bar is the Census figure for a Hazlet worker’s own commute — it is not a measurement of, or a comparison with, any named or specific treatment provider.

A plan that accounts for your commute
A client who catches an early train home can make an evening session. Someone with a flexible work-from-home day can come in during the morning. A parent whose kids are in school from 8 to 3 has a window right in the middle of the day.
The 12-hour weekday window, Monday–Thursday. Friday closes at 5 PM.
That is not a one-time conversation. If a work schedule changes or a new obligation comes up, the plan adjusts.
| Day | Center open | IOP groups |
|---|---|---|
| Monday – Thursday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM | Day group 10AM–1PM · Evening group 6PM–9PM |
| Friday | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Individual sessions & check-ins |
| Weekly commitment | 9 – 15 hours | Group · individual · relapse prevention |
*OP group schedule may vary. Contact the facility for the current specialty group cycle.

Willpower is not a treatment plan.
Hazlet is the kind of town where people pride themselves on handling things. The houses are maintained. The lawns are cut. The bills get paid. There is an expectation, sometimes spoken and sometimes not, that you should be able to manage your own problems.
That mindset works for a lot of things. It does not work for addiction or untreated mental health conditions. Trying harder at something that is not working is not a strategy.
An intensive outpatient program provides the clinical structure, the accountability, and the evidence-based tools that make real change possible.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Maps out triggers, teaches how to say no in high-risk situations, and builds healthier daily routines.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Skills for handling intense emotions without turning to substances — especially useful with a trauma history.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Woven throughout. Clinicians help you explore your own reasons for change instead of lecturing.
-
MAT & psychiatric support
MAT for alcohol or opioid use disorders, plus ongoing psychiatric care — medical and mental health under one roof.
Resa’s program follows ASAM Level 2.1 guidelines. Clients receive group therapy, individual counseling, and relapse prevention planning. Substance use and mental health are addressed together in one integrated plan because they are rarely separate problems.

It has been 8 months since I started at RESA IOP. In the beginning, I came because I needed to. Today, I stay because I want to. I want to keep everything I have worked so hard to gain here. This program has truly changed my life. The counselors at RESA are amazing. I started with Ellen, who helped lay the groundwork for my recovery and helped me begin rebuilding myself. I later transitioned to Dory, and she has taught me so much about humility, self-respect, strength, and what it really means to fight for yourself. She taught me not to be ashamed of who I was, but to be proud of who I am becoming. Her words stay with me every single day. I am so grateful for her relentless determination, honesty, professionalism, and the way she refuses to let me give up on myself. She has helped me take the things that once damaged me and turn them into power, while helping me see and believe in the best parts of myself again. I also want to recognize the administrative staff, especially Kelly and Gina, and the director, Michael. Their compassion, dedication, and commitment to the people who walk through RESA's doors do not go unnoticed. They are a huge part of what keeps this program running smoothly and, ultimately, makes it possible for RESA to continue changing lives. RESA helped me break free from chains that kept me imprisoned for a very long time. It has given me tools, strength, accountability, and most importantly, hope. Seven months later, I am not the same woman who first walked through those doors — and I am incredibly proud of that. There truly are not enough thank-yous for what this program, Ellen, Dory, Kelly, Gina, Michael, and the entire RESA team have given me.
Resa is an exceptional facility with organized groups and compassionate staff !!
I can’t say enough positive things about Resa Treatment Center and the impact they had on my life. I attended their IOP program as a client after being in and out of treatment for many years, not only struggling with substance use but also with mental health and trauma. I had clean time before Resa, but I struggled with emotional sobriety. Resa helped me understand myself, my substance use, my trauma, and how to handle life in a healthier way. I’ve been clean since May 2, 2020, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they taught me.The staff are phenomenal and genuinely care about their clients. I now work in the field as a counselor intern and regularly refer clients to Resa because I believe in the program and have experienced its impact firsthand. I will always be grateful to Resa for helping me build a life in recovery!
You can tell that the team at Resa Treatment Center truly cares about their clients. They do treat clients like human beings and not some number.
I highly recommend Resa Treatment Center. I have referred several of my friends who were suffering with mental health and substance abuse problems. I am beyond impressed by the level of care compassion and professionalism exhibited by the staff, therapist and owner Michael Palmieri. I want to extend my heart felt gratitude to Resa Treatment Center for helping my friends get on the road to recovery.
I highly recommend Resa Treatment Center for anyone seeking compassionate and professional mental health and or substance abuse treatment. The staff is truly dedicated to helping individuals on their journey to recovery. The owner Michael Palmieri goes above and beyond, making you feel heard and supported.
Where to start..well start here. I was having a very rough time at a point in my life I did not now where to turn or who to ask for help then I walked into the threshold of Resa actually I was forced to go there by probation when I first met Mike it was so nice this man saved my life there's absolutely no exaggeration there Mike made me understand that life is worth living he helped me in so many ways I can't possibly thank him enough ❤️ I truly believe it was God who caused us to cross paths this man truly does care about you. Mike if you see this please know I am eternally grateful for you and everything you did for me he is literally Saint Michael in the flesh thank you so much if you're thinking about going into treatment then it's already time to go make your appointment change your life
Resa has helped me get my life to where I want it to be! I got everything from 1:1 counselling sessions, group therapy and DBT classes and a doctor who helped me adjust my medication; he helped me wean off safely from medication I no longer needed. I found a support system, people in recovery that TRULY care. I couldn't have celebrated over a year of sobriety, and continue it one day at a time, without them. Every single person that works there is there to help, to be of service. The true vibe is incomparable.
Resa Treatment Center has been a key factor in my recovery from addiction, providing a nurturing environment and supportive staff. Their dedication and approach have greatly aided my healing journey, leaving me immensely grateful for their impact on my life.
Everyone there is just absolutely amazing! They truly care about each and every one of their clients
Best place I've ever gone to the people really care and they go above and beyond to help it's different than any other places I've been to would recommend resa treatment to anyone looking for help
Resa has helped me see the light at the end of a dark tunnel. The staff treats everyone the respect and dignatiy. I would recommend Resa to anyone looking to get clean and sober. Serenity, Courage, Wisdom ❤️
