Women living in New Jersey who need treatment for drug and alcohol addictions now have access to a new facility specifically designed for their needs. On Wednesday, April 15, at 11 am, Maryville Addiction Treatment Centers will celebrate the opening of Kell Hall for Women, 1903 Grant Avenue in Williamstown, New Jersey, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house. The facility will bring state-of-the-art treatment to women living with addiction. 

“Studies show that 92% of the women who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol do not have access to treatment, and one of the barriers to treatment is the fact that there are so few available slots allotted for women in facilities,” explained Jim O’Brien, Executive Director of Maryville Addiction Treatment Centers. “It is our intention to remove that barrier by offering a safe environment specifically designed to address the unique needs of women.” It is important to understand that addiction is just as big a problem with women as it is with men. 

Kell Hall will be staffed by two counselors who cover the unit from 8 am until 8 pm, as well as one monitor for each 8-hour shift. A full medical staff with registered nurses, practical nurses and an ASAM certified physician is available to oversee the program 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

The clinical programming is supervised by a Masters Level LCADC, while the counselors working in the unit have a Women Specialist Certification in order to better serve women with addiction problems. Women throughout the State of New Jersey are eligible to apply for admissions. For more information on Kell Hall and Maryville’s gender-specific treatment program, please call (856) 629-0244, extension 310 or 311.
