What We Treat at TruHealing at Rutherford
Addiction often grows quietly—through stress, pain, trauma, or trying to cope alone. At TruHealing at Rutherford, we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
We provide treatment for:
- Alcohol addiction: Ongoing alcohol use that affects health, relationships, and emotional stability.
- Opioid addiction: Dependence on heroin, fentanyl, or prescription opioids that often benefits from medically supported care.
- Benzodiazepine addiction: Reliance on medications like Xanax or Klonopin that can require gradual, supervised stabilization.
- Painkiller addiction: Misuse of prescription pain medications that can quickly lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal.
- Prescription drug addiction: Compulsive use of prescribed medications, including stimulants or sedatives, beyond medical direction.
- Dual diagnosis: Co-occurring substance use and mental health symptoms that require integrated treatment.
Each plan is customized to your treatment needs and recovery goals. Our professional staff will communicate and collaborate with you every step of the way.

- Depression and mood disorders
- Generalized anxiety, panic, and phobias
