Please note that we do not provide a psychiatrist on staff. However, we are happy to interface with your current psychiatrist or psychiatric care facility.

For those seeking help with any type of addiction issue:

Please be advised that we have established a positive working relationship with Blue Crest Recovery Center which focuses on Mind, Body and Spirit.  They are located in Woodland Park. NJ . We have an identified outreach coordinator there for intake named John Plunkett who can be reached directly and confidentially at 973-902-6116.  You may identify as a referral from St. Mary’s.  Please understand that while St. Mary’s cannot endorse any one specific treatment facility, Dr. Hall and Anne Silversey did personally tour this facility and found it to appear to be a professional and competent facility.  Mr. Plunkett expressed a very warm and welcoming attitude towards the St., Mary’s community and expressed a desire to help with anyone in need of addiction services.
