Maryville - Providing Alcohol and Drug Treatment for over 50 Years...

A Brief History

A. Bennet Conway, a practicing Roman Catholic
priest, founded Maryville in 1949...

Originally, Maryville provided care and treatment for alcoholic men, free of charge. Maryville remained completely self-supporting until the 1970's, at which time contracts were established with the state, several counties, and the United Way. Maryville became non- sectarian at this time as well. Maryville has evolved into a modern, structured treatment program, earning its reputation of providing high-quality, low-cost care.

Current services provided include:

Residential Rehabilitation for adult substance abusers, MICA (mentally ill chemical abusers), and Sub-acute Detoxification at our residential site in Williamstown. Detoxification services were added as a result of the natural tendency of clients understating their need for detox out of desperation to get into a residential program. It became much easier, more responsible, and more efficacious to provide Sub-acute Level Detox on site than to refer clients to a hospital-based detox, if one could be found, or to the street to self-detox, and then re-admit them for residential treatment. Additionally, Maryville operates outpatient services throughout Southern New Jersey, which offer intensive outpatient services and other outpatient levels of care. Our residential and outpatient centers are fully bilingual. Maryville also operates an Intoxicated Driver's Resource Center.

A peaceful, natural environment:

Maryville's 40-acre residential facility is located in rural Gloucester County, New Jersey. We offer patients a peaceful, natural environment conducive to the full recovery of body, mind and spirit.

Maryville, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not for profit charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We are a United Way Member Agency, licensed by the NJ State Department of Human Services.
