I went there for some discomfort in my chest area, which I’ve been having for a while. Upon entering, I was greeted in the emergency department by a female PA. She was completely annoyed before she even started the interaction. I started to tell her what was wrong and she interrupted me and said I need you to tell me what’s happening right now. This has been an ongoing issue for months like there’s a story behind this and there’s multiple issues to be interrupted like that before I even got a chance to explain what was wrong was kind of head scratching. I was given a CAT scan with contrast of my neck and my head and an x-ray of my chest all in all the experience took about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Not terrible. What is terrible is I asked the main Doctor Who was ordering the CAT scans what I should do considering the issue was still present and he told me go to a general doctor and walked away. Thanks for nothing ! And they’re really rude. Get a new profession. Helping people isn’t your thing.

Worse experience in a hospital. Waited hours and was never seen by the physician only to be told by the nurse that I was waiting hours for xrays before being examined- Xrays that I did not need. Becuase I work in the medical field - I question if this was the standard of care to which the nurse called security . Only for the doctor- who was also dismissive - to eventually come in and cancel the imaging as it was not needed. SO never coming back- I do not trust the medical knowledge and care was terrible. Zero stars!

Thank you for the best experience after my mom’s recent major surgery! The care was exceptional. Dr. Hunt and the entire surgical team including the residents were nothing but kind and professional, especially medical student Sara Solomon! Thank you to the PACU nurse Michelle Derr for making my mom so comfortable and allowing me to sit with her. Thank you to the staff on Deskovick A for everything, including aide Marlene and housekeeping Grace for your kindness always. Thank you RN Jessica S for your patience, timeliness, clear explanations, and doing everything to keep her comfortable. Special thanks and shoutout to RN Victoria who took care her the first night- you made an extremely scary and stressful night SEAMLESS and set the tone for her entire stay. You are truly an angel and the hospital is so lucky to have you! It’s also worth noting how much we appreciated all staff knocking and introducing themselves, the delicious food, the friendly staff who delivered the meals, the affordable guest trays, the pantry options, the individualized menu sheet for her therapeutic diet, the educational videos at discharge, the efficiency of the discharge lounge, and the friendliness of the transporter who took her to the car. We have been to many hospitals and healthcare facilities dealing with both acute and chronic health issues and this was truly #1. Thanks so much!

Accepted Insurance

Atlantic Health System – Morristown Medical Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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 iconOutpatient

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 iconInpatient

Inpatient mental health programs are designed to help stabilize those with mental illnesses. At Atlantic Behavioral Health, they encourage personal empowerment among their hospitalized patients through self-awareness and education. After a successful treatment, patients can return to the care of their psychiatrist or clinician and when necessary, may be referred to an intensive outpatient program.

aftercare iconAftercare 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 iconSober 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.

heart-hands iconIntervention 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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

24-hour icon24-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.

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 thumbnail image

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Diet can directly affect a person’s physical health, mental well-being and overall quality of life. Eating healthfully – ensuring that you get the nutrients you need to stay well and manage any health problems – can significantly decrease the amount of medication needed to treat a disease. Overlook Medical Center’s outpatient dietitians are experts in medical nutrition therapy, preventative medicine, current research findings, behavioral change strategies and mindfulness training.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

The nurses at the labor and delivery department are incredible! We came across the most compassionate nurse, Debbie, who spent almost the entire night following my daughter’s birth looking after both myself and my baby. She spent hours helping the baby latch on to feed and checked on me every hour. The entire experience from the reception to labor and delivery and the days following my baby’s birth are marked with incredible memories of extremely professional people who seemed to really care and enjoy what they do! We are very grateful! Thank you~ The one negative thing about the room was that there was no space for my husband to lie down at night and get some rest.

I grew up thinking Morristown was the best hospital. Boy was I wrong. MMC is horrible when it comes responsiveness to patient care after discharge. I'll stick with HMH or RWJ.

The worse experience known to man. Came in with the same pain I left with after waiting over 5 hours. When calling for help, pain meds, an update on results the nurses seemed bothered. I’m an educated young adult but being in pain, not being cared for while knowing my insurance will be billed almost made me loose my mind. It got to the point where I really questioned myself as to why I was sitting here for this long, hearing people laughing and joking about what they did last night.

Unfortunately, quite disappointing. From doctors who are rarely available (not impressed with their knowledge and reasoning), to nurses (who often don't seem to realize that they are there for you and not you for them), this place has a long way to go. Techs are decent and pleasant, but also need to be reminded of some basic duties. The cleaning crew is barely existent. And yes, 3 stars is actually a very generous score.

One of the absolute worst hospitals I've ever had the displeasure of staying at. Some of the staff may be quite kind and caring, but a vast majority seemingly hate their career and could not care less about the wellbeing of their patients. Staff treated myself and my family horribly and as if they didn't have the time of day for any of us, even after being brought in by an ambulance for possible brain damage. Will NEVER be staying here again if I can help it and will make sure to steer everyone I care about away from this joke of a medical center.

I was impressed by the caring, empathetic, attentive, professional service that was given to my husband in the Emergency Department. They worked nonstop, and always warmly introduced themselves to him before treating him. They are top-notch, and I'm grateful.
