Alina Lodge Reduces Minimum Stay in Residential Program
Alina Lodge announced this week that it is reducing the minimum stay in its Blairstown, New Jersey, residential substance use disorder treatment program to 28 days from the previously required 90.
“We understand that not everyone struggling with addiction can commit to a 90-day residential program due to time, cost, or obligations at work or home, and this reduction allows people to get the treatment they need without sacrifice or struggle,” the company wrote in a news release announcing the change.
Alina Lodge also announced the addition of dedicated smoking areas on its campus, as well as onsite, full-service detox, and the availability of supervised access to work. Connecting with families and children within the first 28 days of treatment also will be permitted.
