ABOUT SANCTUARY RECOVERY CENTER
Sanctuary Health Group runs two separate addiction treatment facilities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Backed with evidence-based modalities and holistic therapies, Sanctuary at Cherry Hill is one of 154 private facilities in the state of New Jersey, providing a variety of outpatient care options, as well as support for program alumni and families.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Sanctuary Recovery Center offers partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and standard outpatient care. Participants of PHP and IOP are encouraged to reside in sober living as they take part in treatment for issues related to anxiety, abuse, self-esteem, and other factors that may contribute to addictive behavior. Standard outpatient care best serves clients integrating back into the community.
During treatment, clients attend a mix of individual and group therapy sessions that focus on relapse prevention and building healthy relationships. Clients are also encouraged to become involved in self-help programs within the community, such as 12-Step, in conjunction with its programming.
Along with traditional treatment approaches, clients also participate in a range of holistic and alternative treatments, such as music and art therapy, exercise sessions, yoga, and therapeutic massages.
As part of the recovery process, Sanctuary Recovery Center invites loved ones to attend psychoeducational groups and health workshops to improve their relationships and better understand addiction. Program graduates can connect with one another via ongoing alumni gatherings.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
In the sole survey response for Best-rehabs.com to date, alum Luke was highly critical of this program. Aside from the areas of accommodations and cleanliness, Luke gave ratings of either one or two out of five stars for the facility’s family programming, the counseling options, treatment effectiveness, staff experience and training, and its exercise/leisure and holistic opportunities, amongst other categories.
Luke also claimed that he was not provided with aftercare, that staff were “untrained,” that the facility was unprepared when he first arrived, and that the program did not align with how it was described to him. “I wouldn’t ever go back there or have any of my loved ones go there due to the fact that they are unprepared and are more focused on the insurance money they are getting than the actual care of the clients,” he wrote.. “Worst program ever.”
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
Best-rehabs.com has yet to receive any reviews from loved ones to date, however, the single individual reviewing the facility on Google reviews shared details of his frustrating experience dealing with the facility’s billing department:
“We cancelled our credit cards to prevent The Sanctuary from making add’l charges against our credit cards and we disputed the last four charges made on these cards. The credit card company has resolved the first two of these charges in favor of The Sanctuary, because The Sanctuary responded to them that these charges were valid,” he wrote.[1]
On the facility’s Facebook page, which the facility can manage, eight individuals gave the facility an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars. It should be noted that many reviewers seemed to be acquainted with the facility and its staff, and the sole alum reviewer gave the facility a one-star rating, also reporting billing issues[2]
FINANCING
According to its website, Sanctuary Recovery Center accepts most health insurance plans. The single Best-rehabs.com survey respondent left one out of five stars for both program affordability and cost-worthiness.
