About Rubicon Recovery Center
Rubicon Recovery Center is a Joint Commission-accredited outpatient addiction treatment facility located in Watchung, New Jersey. The building is newly constructed and features modern treatment rooms, well-appointed group spaces, and much more.
Sober living homes in nearby Bound Brook extend the standard of care into daily life outside of treatment hours. Residents have access to gym memberships and structured routines, and the community that forms between housemates tends to last well beyond treatment. What sets Rubicon apart is its wraparound philosophy, which treats not just the individual but the family and support network around them through family therapy, education, and active involvement in the recovery process.
Specialized programs serve men, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, seniors, young adults, and professionals, with care tailored to each group’s specific needs. PHP, IOP, standard outpatient, and detox placement cover every level of outpatient care, supported by CBT, DBT, holistic therapy, motivational interviewing, individual and group therapy, and a relapse prevention program.
