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.

Dr Muther will have oversight of Aware’s behavioral health clinical services, and he will be tasked with developing and coordinating clinical goals, practices, and protocols to improve client outcomes.

Dr Muther has 20 years of clinical experience, and he previously served as vice president of medical services, integrated behavioral health, at the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s Salud Family Health Centers, as well as clinical director of behavioral health for Nice Healthcare.
