Location Summary
Carrier Clinic®, a behavioral health system, has been a trusted source of compassionate help and supportive healing for patients and their families since we opened our doors in 1910.
One of the largest independent, nonprofit central Jersey behavioral health facilities, Carrier Clinic specializes in inpatient psychiatric treatment and treatment and rehabilitation for substance abuse. We provide a complete array of expert care and education for adolescents and teens, adults, and older adults on the inpatient and residential levels. Outpatient services are provided for ECT treatment and drug abuse addiction.
Ours is a safe, compassionate, and respectful environment, set on a beautiful 100+ acre country setting at the foothills of the Sourland Mountains, in centrally-located Belle Mead, NJ. Our caring, supportive staff is among the best in their respective fields, all driven by the similar goal of returning each individual back to their family, workplace, community, and the things they enjoy.
Treatments and Services
Carrier Clinic Programs and Services

Alcohol Addiction Treatment
More than 17 million Americans have a substance abuse problem with alcohol. This means alcohol is one of the most commonly abused drugs in the U.S. Whether you drink to feel calmer, escape your problems, or sleep better at night, crossing the line from recreational to necessary drinking can be dangerous to your health and well-being.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Alcohol and Drug Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Blake Recovery Center™
What is addiction? Addiction is a biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual disease which affects virtually every aspect of an abuser’s life. Consequences of addictive behaviors increase as disease progression continues. Those participating in our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are properly educated about these aspects of addiction.
Learn more about Alcohol and Drug Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment
Dependency on any substance — including painkillers, antidepressants, and stimulants — involves altering the brain chemistry with a toxin to quickly produce temporary relief from frustration, grief, or pain, without changing the thoughts or behavior that cause these negative feelings. Prescription drug dependency is a treatable disease that can be held in remission through lifestyle change.
