At the beginning everyone was nice. Once they took the X-ray, no respectI was stuffed in a room for Ever. I told one of the employees about it. She spoke to the Nurse, but never came back to me. I opened the door and she saw me, where she approached me and told me the nurse is going to talk to me. She never came. I left without checking out on my own.
I was there March 6-9, 2025. I was assigned 8 nurses, 1 didn t show, 1 I had twice. I liked 3/8 nurses and loved 1/3 nurses. The nurse I had twice dismissed everything I had told, both times she was assigned to me. Friday night (6am Saturday morning) I rang the button because I needed to go the bathroom and the PTC came and she saw that I was shaking and ran to get the two nurses that was assigned to me. Both nurses passed it off as anxiety when I told them I wasn t having an anxiety attack and I d know what mine would look like, dismissed it and kept saying it was anxiety so they gave me a medication for that. The PCT pointed out a rash and the nurses dismissed her and said it was just the anxiety. Then Saturday night I was assigned one of the same nurses from Friday and then the second nurse for Saturday never came. At around 11:30pm the IV machine was beeping and a message downstream occlusion popped up, I rang the button and someone came saying I thought I heard beeping. With her hearing beeping, she didn t come until I pressed the button. She then grabbed the nurse (one I had on Friday night) I told her about the message that popped up and she dismissed it and just moved the machine to the right side of the bed. I looked down at my right arm and noticed some blood/IV fluid and said hey, I think my arm is bleeding, she dismissed it. I also said I don t think the needle is all the way in my arm, my arm hurts and it feels bumpy she dismissed it and just elevated my arm. Then 12:30pm Sunday, I looked down and blood/IV fluid was dripping down my arm, etc. I rang the button and the nurse came in. I explained to her everything that happened Saturday night and she removed the tape and said this iv isn t even in your arm. Followed by me saying I said that last night and I was dismissed. She then switched the IV to my left arm and changed the IV line. Then while I was there I was told by my cardiologist I could go home 3x but an other Dr kept overriding him and that Dr didn t want to do at least two tests I asked to have done. Just wasn t a great experience at all.
I live in Morristown & after I had my yearly mammogram, I needed a call back for a second mammogram & ultrasound. Unfortunately, I was then told on 1/24 that I needed a biopsy & the first appointment I could get at the Carol Simon Breast Center was a month later on 2/24. I told them that that was unacceptable & that I wasn t going to wait. I then found Chilton Medical Center & I was able to get my biopsy 6 days later 1/30, meet with my surgeon on 2/7, & was operated on 2/27/25, 3 days after what MMC offered as their first open appointment. My entire experience was 180 from the stressful, impersonal, over-grown hospital city of Morristown Medical Center. Chilton is the way Morristown used to be when it was known as Morristown Memorial Hospital small, personal, stress free, great doctors & staff, the free parking is right in front of the Collins Pavilion Cancer Treatment Center Building. No one ever wants cancer on their Bingo card, but my entire experience has been a positive one, thanks to my fantastic doctors & staff at Chilton. I believe my ability to get immediate treatment, instead of having to wait a month just to have a biopsy, made a huge difference & why I am now cancer free. I will be starting my radiation treatment & oncology care at Chilton, too. I will always think of Chilton Medical Center as my hospital of choice. I highly recommend anyone who is fed up with & overwhelmed by the experience patients get at Morristown Medical Center, try Chilton Medical Center it s a well kept secret worth trying.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient Clients often enter inpatient rehab following detox, but they may also enroll during early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient rehabs provide housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Clients typically receive multiple individual, group, and/or family therapy sessions weekly. Many programs also offer extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative inpatient rehabs provide holistic therapies as well.
Intensive Outpatient Group-based psycho-education and therapy is provided during a three-hour period, three to five days a week. Because patients in our program return home after treatment sessions, they can more quickly begin the transition to everyday living situations and challenges.
Aftercare Support Clients in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient and are medically stable. These programs are designed to address addiction recovery as a life-long process. Outpatient counseling and recovery education are typically categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive support after being discharged from formal outpatient treatment. Case managers and recovery teams facilitate clients' access to peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program induction, and related services.
Sober Living Homes Accommodations include two supervised group homes and several semi-supervised apartments. Priority is given to patients recently discharged from state psychiatric facilities that need a supervised living arrangement. A reasonable rent is required for participation.
Intervention Services In the event of a psychiatric emergency, Atlantic Behavioral Health offers crisis intervention services, including a 24-hour hotline, risk assessments and screenings, and community trauma assistance. Newton Medical Center is a state-designated Psychiatric Emergency Services and Screening Center, providing 24-hour emergency mental health care to patients of any age, both over the phone and in person.
24-Hour Clinical Care 24-hour clinical care in New Jersey provides a setting where you can withdraw from alcohol or drugs under close monitoring of experienced medical staff. These trained professionals can intervene at any time if needed. They can prescribe medications to reduce cravings and physical discomfort. Mental health professionals are also available to address any emotional and psychological challenges you experience as you begin your recovery journey.
Medically Assisted Detox A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off addictive substances. When you become physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, quitting abruptly can cause a host of challenging and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand to monitor any symptoms, to provide medication if possible, and to help keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible throughout this process.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Group therapy settings offer you a diverse perspective on addiction and recovery. People from a variety of backgrounds gather together to discuss their challenges and speak openly and in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. This enriches your experience and your understanding of addiction and recovery.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. When a traumatic or catastrophic event occurs – whether at school, work, the neighborhood or larger community – Atlantic Behavioral Health is there to help survivors, witnesses and their families begin the healing process.
Most experts in couples therapy are trained in several modes of treatment. This allows your therapist to draw from various techniques to personalize your therapy for your needs. This may include cognitive, emotional, and behavioral methods, which are all designed to help you strengthen your relationship.
Counseling that includes parental and family involvement is central to their program and highly encouraged. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
