Bonnie Brae, Liberty Corner
About Bonnie Brae – Liberty Corner
Bonnie Brae is a private non-profit residential treatment community and school for boys and young men aged twelve to twenty-one, on a campus of about 100 acres at 3415 Valley Road in Liberty Corner, New Jersey. Clinical treatment addresses trauma, neglect, physical and sexual abuse and emotional management, with psychiatric care and medication management provided by the health services team under a psychiatric medical director.
Read this part before calling. Bonnie Brae runs no substance use program. Addictions appear only inside its general clinical treatment description, and there is no level of care, no named substance, no detox and no addiction service on record here. It is not the right referral for someone seeking help with drugs or alcohol, and a family calling for addiction treatment should approach a licensed substance use provider instead.
What the campus does offer is a whole environment rather than a treatment hour: schooling delivered on campus or off it, recreation including a pool and playing fields around an on-campus lake, work experience, and transitional living homes for young men moving toward independence. Paul D. Rieger, MSW, is chief executive; Nicole Thomas, MD, FAPA, is psychiatric medical director, with Christian Whooley, MA, LPC, as chief operating officer.

Treatment Services at Bonnie Brae
Treatment is residential and long-horizon. Boys and young men live on the Somerset County campus while a clinical treatment team works on trauma, abuse, neglect and emotional management, and health services staff handle psychiatric care and medication management. Activity therapy is the named therapeutic approach, which fits a program built around daily campus life, school and recreation rather than a scheduled block of weekly therapy sessions.
Education and job training sit inside the program rather than beside it, with schooling arranged on campus or off it depending on the young person, plus work experience as part of the day. Transitional living homes in New Brunswick, Bound Brook and Bridgewater carry residents on toward independent living, and a five-bed crisis stabilization home in Chester operates separately from this campus and is not part of this record.
Several things a referring family would want are simply not published. No specific therapy models, no length of stay, no bed count for this campus and no admissions or referral steps appear anywhere; families and agencies call (908) 647-0800 directly. Ask who holds referral authority in your case, whether placements come through a county agency, a school district or the courts, and how a young person’s schooling transfers in.

Bonnie Brae Address, Location and Contact Information
The campus address is 3415 Valley Road, Liberty Corner, New Jersey 07938, in Somerset County. Liberty Corner is a section of Bernards Township, so mapping services and mail often resolve the same street number to Basking Ridge, 07920, which is worth knowing if a satellite navigation search comes up empty. The setting is suburban township land, roughly 100 acres with a lake, pools and playing fields.
Stirling is the nearest listed community at four miles north-east, and New York is 33 miles east, which puts the campus within reach of families across northern New Jersey and the city without sitting in either. The main number is (908) 647-0800. No office or visiting hours are published, so confirm when staff are available before making the drive out to the campus.

How Much Does Treatment at Bonnie Brae Cost?
No payment information at all is published for Bonnie Brae. Insurance, Medicaid, private pay and referral funding are all unstated, and no carrier is named, so nobody should assume a placement is covered or that a family would be billed directly. For a youth residential program of this kind, funding frequently comes through a county or state agency rather than from the household itself.
That makes the first call a funding call as much as a clinical one. Ask on (908) 647-0800 who pays for a placement, whether a referral from a school district, child welfare agency or court is required before admission, and whether schooling sits inside the placement cost. Get the answer in writing before anyone travels, because an unfunded residential placement can stall at the door.
New Jersey statewide private-pay ranges give a sense of scale and nothing more: $8,000 to $35,000 a month for residential care, $9,000 to $18,000 for a partial hospitalization program, $3,500 to $12,000 for intensive outpatient and $1,500 to $6,000 for outpatient. Those are statewide figures across all providers, not Bonnie Brae’s prices, and they cover addiction levels of care this campus does not provide.

Bonnie Brae – Liberty Corner — Compiled From Public Records
This listing is compiled from public directory and licensing sources rather than confirmed firsthand by our editorial team.
Bonnie Brae Reviews
Oversight for a youth residential program of this type sits with the New Jersey Department of Health, and Bonnie Brae’s national provider identifier is 1912063702. No license number is published. The organization is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit under employer identification number 22-1500479, with its board formed in 1915 and its first farm home opened in 1916, so the record behind it is a long one.
A Joint Commission mark appears on the organization’s own pages and its history states it was first accredited in the 1990s, but no current register entry has been published alongside it, so ask for the certificate and its expiry date. Page details draw on state licensing records, federal provider records and the organization’s published material. No reviews have been left for Bonnie Brae yet, and families who have had a son placed here can add the first.
