The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper is a 90-bed state-of-the-art inpatient addiction treatment facility offering all levels of substance use disorder care in an integrated model. The Center’s physicians and advanced practitioners provide the medical care at this facility and help to drive quality, evidence-based care, and education in the inpatient addiction treatment care model.

The Center’s work focuses on ensuring that all patients across the Cooper system who have pain, psychiatric illness, chemical dependence and/or substance use disorder receive state-of-the-art care and that the entire system works together to identify those at risk, mitigate risk exposure, and prevent the development of substance use disorder whenever possible. They do this through education, innovation, and dedication to providing excellent patient care services to the community.
