Our Holistic Healing Approach

A Proven Clinical Approach to Addiction Treatment in New Jersey

At Legacy Healing Center – New Jersey, we believe that healing goes far beyond sobriety. True transformation begins when we treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—not just the addiction.

Our clinical approach is grounded in medical science, trauma-informed care, and holistic addiction medicine. Under the expert leadership of Dr. Ash Bhatt, our nationally recognized, quintuple board-certified Chief Medical Officer, we deliver evidence-based addiction treatment backed by compassion, precision, and purpose.

Treating the Root Cause, Not Just the Symptoms

Addiction doesn’t occur in a vacuum. It’s often a response to deeper pain—unresolved trauma, mental health challenges, chronic stress, or a profound sense of disconnection.

At Legacy Healing Center – NJ, we help clients uncover and address the root causes of substance use. By treating the source—not just the behavior—we lay the foundation for meaningful, lasting healing.

Our team works collaboratively to build sustainable treatment plans that restore dignity, rebuild trust, and reawaken the possibility of a fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Treatment That Works

Every element of care at Legacy is clinically validated and outcome-driven. We use therapies proven to support lasting recovery, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
  
• Integrated Dual Diagnosis support
  

These approaches are seamlessly woven across all levels of care—from our trusted detox partners to PHP, IOP, and beyond. Treatment begins with a full clinical assessment and evolves through continual progress monitoring to ensure every step is aligned with the client’s goals and needs.

Trauma-Informed Care as Our Foundation

Healing happens in safe, trusting spaces. That’s why trauma-informed care is not just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do.

Our entire team, from admissions to therapists, is trained to recognize and respond to trauma with sensitivity, compassion, and collaboration. This means:

• Prioritizing physical and emotional safety
  
• Empowering client choice
  
• Cultivating trust through consistency and transparency
  

We understand that trauma shapes the experience of addiction, and we’re here to honor and support every client’s story.

Led by a National Expert: Dr. Ash Bhatt

Legacy’s clinical model is guided by the expertise of Dr. Ash Bhatt, a leading figure in addiction medicine and behavioral health.

Dr. Bhatt is quintuple board-certified in psychiatry, addiction medicine, and related specialties, and has earned national recognition for his work in neuroscience, co-occurring disorders, and evidence-based treatment design.

His leadership ensures our programs are not only medically sound but also deeply compassionate, merging science and humanity in the pursuit of healing.

Integrative Holistic Therapies for Whole-Person Healing

Addiction affects more than just the mind—it takes a toll on the body, spirit, and sense of self. That’s why our holistic addiction treatment in NJ is designed to nourish every part of the person.
