I waited four hours to be seen by Dr. Cosimo Laterza in the emergency room after coming in with severe shoulder pain and being unable to lift my arm. Without even examining my shoulder, he told me it was just a neck spasm. When I asked if I could get an MRI, he dismissed me and said I would need to make an appointment elsewhere. I explained that I had just gotten out of the military and that every appointment I’d tried to make through insurance had been over a month away. His response was, “Welcome to the American healthcare system.” He also told me I wouldn’t be getting an MRI at Morristown and sarcastically said he’d like to see me try to get one elsewhere. I was able to schedule an urgent orthopedic consultation and get imaging done. It turned out I have a torn rotator cuff, torn deltoid muscle, and a sprained AC joint serious injuries that were overlooked because he didn't want to take the time to check. Dr. Cosimo’s demeanor was smug and unprofessional. He stormed out of the room without offering any real help, insight, or discharge instructions. I left feeling dismissed and unheard. I had expected better care at Morristown, but this experience proved otherwise. To Dr. Cosimo Laterza, patients seem to be just numbers he rushes through before the end of his shift not people in need of genuine care.

This review is years late, but the pain still bleeds raw. While my father lay in a coma in your hospital—broken with grief because the love of his life, his wife, had just died—someone on your staff rummaged through his “secured” belongings and stole from him. They tore away the wedding band that had never left his hand in a lifetime of devotion. Another stole the watch my mother had given him on his retirement, a gift she chose with pride and love. These weren’t just objects—they were pieces of my parents’ story, sacred threads of their lives together. You desecrated them. And as if theft weren’t cruelty enough, the physician in Intensive Care spoke to us with ice in his voice, urging us—without compassion, without humanity—to end my father’s life support. In our darkest moment, you showed us not care, not dignity, but contempt. Morristown Memorial, you shattered what little remained of my family’s trust in human decency. You robbed a dying man of his symbols of love. You robbed us of peace. I wouldn’t trust you to care for a stray animal, let alone a human soul. Shame on you.

I entered with ankle sprain but the medical staff at Morristown Medical Center treated me like a champion until I departed. The nurses at Morristown Medical Center provided me with exceptional care while making me smile even when I was in pain. Their team delivered outstanding care to me.

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.

I delivered my first baby here. I am grateful my baby was born healthy. Unfortunately my stay was ruined by the night nurses who were too overwhelmed to provide me with basic things like water, Tylenol, or Motrin on time. They also took over 2 hours to bring formula to my screaming baby the first night (who was likely hypoglycemic), refused to help my husband change baby’s first diaper when I couldn’t walk, and refused to bring me a breast pump for 2 days telling me to just “hand express” which was not comfortable or helpful for my milk supply. They also tried to avoid changing me the first night after my c-section when I was laying in a large pool of my own blood and accidentally left a capped needle in my bed. Thank goodness I continued to advocate for myself and was able to breast feed despite their “baby friendly” policies. The last day they kicked us out in a rush and could not bother to help my husband with the car seat or tell him that parking could have been validated. I am lucky enough to have had a good doctor but I will think twice before returning after Anesthesia associates of Morristown (who you will also need) sent me to collections AFTER they cashed my check on time for their services! Please look them up. I was partly traumatized by the lack of basic nursing care overnight. The hospital needs to do better to staff properly at night and retain their experienced nurses. My doctor was excellent, but I’m disappointed in the anesthesia associates and feel they did not treat new mothers fairly at all in terms of billing. I wish the hospital cared more about this issue! FYI they also charge new Dads/ partners for meals while admitted. Update: collections finally returned my call a week later after calling them multiple times and explained that the same amount was billed twice in 2 separate bills for identical amounts, one from the anesthesia doctor and one from the CNRA (however both did the job of one). I was able to pay the same amount a second time and finally resolve the issue. I did call patient relations and still waiting to hear back.

Doctor, Annie, Rodriguez resident, and Dr Mark McQueeney ER Are two of the best doctors I’ve ever had to take care of me, they went above and beyond the call of duty to find out what’s going on with me even with the extreme heavy load that they had. Dr. McQueen he left his ER post for a quick five minutes to come and examine me as he Had the knowledge to do and special eye exam due to the pressure that I had behind my eye. Dr. Rodriguez physically went down to the emergency room to find a Doctor Who had the experience to do this test and Dr. McQueeney was the one she found, and both were more than willing to do whatever they had to do to find out what was going on with me and how they Could help me…… thank you, Dr. McQueeney and thank you Dr. Rodriguez for all the caring and above and beyond medical treatment that I received!! God bless you!!

I have had several procedures at MMC. My doctors were all fantastic, and on the whole, so was my nursing. Even the food is good! Always try to get to MMC for world-class medical care.

I received excellent care from check in to every shift nurse and every dr as well as my surgeon. The only bad is being stick in emergency room bed for 18 hours due to busy time I arrived but they did get me a bed almost right away and did my emergency surgery the minute they were able and they did a great job all around

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. We appreciated the positive feedback!

Morristown Emergency Room - I am very disappointed with the care here at Morristown ER. This was my first hospital experience, and I came in feeling very scared and anxious. Instead of being supported, I was left alone for basically 11 hours, with only two check-ins from RNs the entire time when i was constantly asking for updates and meds! After being told I was being brought back for a CT scan, it still took over 4.5 hours before it actually happened. The lack of communication and follow-through left me completely in the dark, which only made an already frightening situation worse. I understand ERs can be busy, but no patient should ever feel this forgotten. I truly hope improvements can be made so others don't have to go through the same experience.

The doctor took cogentin out. I didn't understand the doctor. I wish she had written it down. I had trouble hearing her. She said to get over the counter. I ended up having chest pains and going to the hospital over her taking the medication out.
