Maryville Addiction Treatment Center celebrated its 75th anniversary with a new name: The facility will now be known as Maryville Integrated Care.
CEO Kendria McWilliams said the new name better reflects the mission of the organization, which has its headquarters in Voorhees.
“Our new name reflects our dedication to a holistic treatment approach, ensuring that every aspect of an individual’s well-being is addressed,” she said. “We are committed to providing the same trusted care while continuing to expand our services to meet the diverse needs of our community.”
Integrated care is an approach that treats the whole person, addressing multiple needs simultaneously, Williams said.
Maryville, which has inpatient programs in Williamstown and Pemberton, aims to combine substance use treatment, mental health care, medical services and support systems to provide a holistic approach for each individual we serve, she said.
Last year, Maryville served more than 7,500 unduplicated individuals through its inpatient and outpatient treatment, support services and community programs.
The inpatient programs in Williamstown and Pemberton not only offer substance use and co-occurring mental health treatment, but also provide comprehensive medical care through physicians and a 24-hour nursing department.
Outpatient programs in Turnersville and Vineland offer substance use and concomitant mental health treatment for adults and adolescents, medical screenings, Medication Assisted Treatment, connections to primary and specialty care physicians, case management, family services, transportation, housing connections and vocational training.
Every program features physicians, nurses, advance practice psychiatric nurses, licensed therapists and certified peer recovery specialists to guide and support individuals throughout their journey.
“As Maryville Integrated Care, we will continue to honor our longstanding commitment to excellence in substance use disorder treatment,” McWilliams said. “Our holistic approach allows us to address the full spectrum of challenges our clients face, promoting lasting recovery and overall well-being.”
Maryville was created in 1949 by a Roman Catholic priest, A. Bennett Conway, as a retreat for rehabilitating alcoholic men. With donated land in Williamstown, Maryville offered a supportive environment, where guests could be away from the daily requirements of life, to come together and work on themselves.
What began as a single space grew into multiple buildings including cottages, a workshop and a chapel, built by the “colony’s” own guests and volunteers from the community. Maryville became licensed as the first inpatient substance use treatment facility in the state. Since then, Maryville has continued to evolve to meet the needs of its vast community, expanding its services to comprehensively serve a variety of populations.
