New partnership with the New Jersey Department of Corrections will expand access to treatment, assessment and recovery-focused education for individuals across the state’s correctional system.

Maryville Integrated Care has been selected to provide substance use disorder treatment and recovery education services for the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC). The new partnership expands Maryville’s longstanding mission to bring high-quality, evidence-based care to people and communities throughout New Jersey.

Maryville will provide substance use disorder treatment at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility and South Woods State Prison, which together have 536 designated treatment beds. The program will also include substance use disorder assessments at designated intake facilities and recovery-focused education for individuals in General Population and Restorative Housing settings throughout New Jersey’s correctional system.

The partnership expands Maryville’s work with justice-involved individuals and reflects a core belief that has guided the organization for decades: everyone deserves access to effective treatment and the opportunity for recovery.

“For more than 75 years, Maryville has believed that recovery is possible and that every person deserves to be treated with respect and dignity,” said Jared Levy, Chief Executive Officer of Maryville. “We’re proud to partner with the New Jersey Department of Corrections to bring that commitment to people in the correctional system. This partnership gives us the opportunity to help individuals build healthier futures, strengthen their recovery, and prepare for a successful return to their communities.”

 Continuing Maryville’s Mission

The partnership represents both a new chapter for Maryville and a continuation of the mission that has guided the organization for more than seven decades: helping individuals and families improve their health and wellness through high-quality, integrated treatment, recovery support and education.

As Maryville prepares to launch services across the NJDOC system, that mission remains at the heart of this work: providing compassionate, evidence-based care, supporting recovery, and helping people successfully return to their communities.

The Board of Trustees proudly announces the promotion of Jared Levy, MBA, CPA from Chief Operating Offer to Chief Executive Officer for Maryville Integrated Care. Jared has been with Maryville for 10 years. He succeeds Kendria McWilliams who retired after 14 years as CEO at Maryville.

Jared is a seasoned executive leader with deep expertise in nonprofit financial management, operations, and strategic planning. He has more than 15 years of experience driving organizational growth and efficiency. Jared leads cross-functional teams spanning finance, development, compliance, and quality improvement. Previously as Chief Financial Officer, he implemented strategic financial controls and resource planning systems that enhanced fiscal responsibility and operational performance. A Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Jared is known for fostering collaborative environments while streamlining processes to improve outcomes.

With an MBA from Texas A&M University and a BS in Business Administration from Drexel University, Jared combines technical financial acumen with strategic insight, making him a trusted leader in mission-driven organizations. Before joining Maryville, Jared served as Corporate Controller at Archway Programs and began his career at Bowman & Company LLP.

Celebrating 76 years, Maryville Integrated Care provides a range of treatment services and supports, including inpatient detoxification and treatment, outpatient and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services at our Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics, mental health treatment, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), in-community programs, peer recovery support services, alumni services, and family support groups. Maryville also provides community outreach as well as education and prevention services to schools, corporations, social service agencies and the general community.

Maryville was recently awarded New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services funding to launch a Medical-Legal (MLP) Partnership. A medical-legal partnership is a collaboration between health care providers and attorneys and aims to tackle social needs that have an impact on health. MLPs work to improve health equity by incorporating legal services into health care settings. MLPs can address legal needs such as housing, employment, immigration, and family law matters. They can also reduce stress, improve mental health, and improve treatment adherence. Maryville will hire attorneys who will assist inpatient and outpatient clients with their legal challenges. Services will be available at our Williamstown, Pemberton, Turnersville, and Vineland sites.

Following 14 highly effective years at Maryville Integrated Care, CEO Kendria McWilliams retired in September.

Kendria has overseen significant growth during her time at Maryville, expanding to five physical locations serving all New Jersey counties, increasing the annual operating budget by $20 million, and building a full continuum of care. Under her leadership, the agency has transitioned from Maryville Addiction Treatment Center to Maryville Integrated Care, providing prevention, education, inpatient and outpatient substance use and mental health treatment, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic integrated care, and recovery support services for over 12,000 people a year.  Specialized medical, medication assisted treatment, care management, peer recovery, alumni, and overdose reduction programs and services for underserved populations in facility and in community have been developed in partnership with dozens of medical, social service, and government agencies.  Additional programs for special populations including Spanish-speaking individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, and adolescents have grown significantly.  Outcomes for these innovative programs and services are excellent, leading the way for expansion and replication of these highly successful programs.

Kendria received numerous awards and recognitions from state leadership and advocacy agencies during her tenure.  In April, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Visionary Leadership from the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies in recognition of her outstanding service to Maryville Integrated Care and New Jersey.
