About Bayonne Medical Center

CarePoint Health Bayonne Medical Center is a large hospital in Bayonne, New Jersey. It’s a place of healing with many different medical specialties and one of those specialties is behavioral health. Their behavioral health department offers treatment for drug and alcohol addiction as well as countless other mental health and behavioral health needs.

At this medical center they can provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment for your addiction. In fact a lot of patients experience both. You might start in the inpatient facility in the early days of your recovery when you are at a high risk for relapse and need intensive treatment. You can then transfer to outpatient care after you’ve stabilized in your recovery so you can live at home while still receiving thorough addiction treatment.

One thing I noticed about this specific treatment center is their holistic and individualized approach. Nothing is cookie cutter and it’s all tailored to your health and what you need. They treat adults as well as kids and adults so everyone can get the specialized care that will empower their recovery. They even have a special addiction recovery program for women that focuses on issues women face in recovery.

Of course you also have the advantage of getting treatment in a large multi disciplinary hospital within an even larger health system. This makes it easier to coordinate your care for addiction recovery and other health care needs.

This place is horrible from the registration desk keeping patient records all out in the open for security guards to read them out loud with a room full of people, to security guards hanging out all around and not doing their jobs and prying into private confidential patient information to the MRI department taking 2 and half weeks to complete the mri report. They have no regard for patient privacy or safety. Patients being treated horribly. Doctors discussing patient s private health information in a waiting room for everyone to hear. Emergency room is dirty and the restrooms are even worse, and bloody disgusting floors. Don t know how this place is still open. Several incidents at this place spoke with the head of the department and she disregarded my complaint no regard for the HIPPA policy or laws. Just Horrible!

I can't believe how people still have this job. The directory transfer me to the receptionist for my appointment and she couldn't even help me or wanted to help me telling me I can't check now to go back in 5 minutes. This was important I had to get an ultrasound for my stomach and she literally hung up on me. I had to call back the to the directory she was so kind to help me, it only took a minute. That was not her job but she did it. Sadly how people could still be so cruel. I can't imagine how crew she could be with people face to face. No human compassion.Best regards to all. Please be kind to all it only takes a second.3/8/25

WORST MEDICAL FACILITY IN THE STATE!!!!!!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE! Nurse Christine Vecera chose to argue with my husband to justify the lack of care rather than just helping him. When he called me to tell me he had been there for 3 hours without being seen, she told him she was listening to him complain for 5 minutes, and that its not her fault he was waiting. Seriously? That's how you're going to respond to someone in the emergency room who's in pain? eavesdrop on his conversation rather than saying "wow hes suffering let me help him". DO YOU JOB CHRISTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 iconOutpatient

The Outpatient Mental Health Program provides short- and long-term therapy for individuals dealing with depression, grief or loss, anxiety, serious and persistent mental illness or mental health issues compounded by a history of substance use. Licensed social workers provide individual and family therapy, medication monitoring and case management.

inpatient iconInpatient

CarePoint Health offers inpatient, acute programs for individuals in need of a secure, therapeutic environment. They treat all major psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, psychoses and schizophrenia. Their inpatient programs are designed to quickly return patients to their optimal level of functioning outside the hospital through an intensive, structured, physician supervised program that coordinates seamlessly with the patients’ medical care. Children’s Crisis Intervention Services (CCIS) is an inpatient unit providing high quality and compassionate care for children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 17 who have been assessed to be in need of a safe, supportive, inpatient level of care.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients who are exiting inpatient rehab, those who are experiencing crisis, and those who prefer to live at home while in treatment typically enroll in intensive inpatient programs (IOP). These programs feature frequent and robust care, generally requiring clients to participate in at least nine hours of care weekly, though many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 treatment hours per week. IOP services typically combine individual, group, and family counseling with recovery education and holistic therapies.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in New Jersey is the process of addressing the complex issues involved with addiction. Challenges are identified and addressed through individual and group counseling. Participants learn how to manage these issues without the use of substances.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

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 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) in New Jersey typically follows a set structure of treatment. The therapist helps clients identify their life challenges and their thoughts surrounding those challenges. The client then learns to identify unhealthy thought patterns and reshape those into healthy patterns of thinking and behavior.

Dialectical means opposing. The premise of dialectical behavior therapy is to learn how two things that seem to be opposite can actually be true. You learn how to accept yourself while also making changes. The focus is on accepting your emotions and changing how you manage them.

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.

Motivational interviewing helps clients find their motivation to change. It can be an effective method to work with clients who are angry or hostile or feel insecure about their ability to make changes in their lives. It is often used during addiction treatment or to manage physical health conditions.

Trauma therapy provides a structure to approach healing from past traumatic events that you may have witnessed or experienced. Your therapist will work with you to identify and process these memories. This helps promote a sense of safety and stability and helps you heal emotionally.

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.

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. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

I arrived at the ER at 2 PM and was still there at 9 PM without being discharged, despite being told repeatedly that everything was fine. The delay was completely unacceptable, especially considering I was the only patient in the ER. What made the experience worse was the unprofessional behavior of the staff. Nurses were sitting at the desk on their phones, engaging in loud and highly inappropriate conversations right in front of patients. This kind of conduct is completely unacceptable in a medical environment. The wait times for everything were ridiculously long, and there was no sense of urgency or care. I will not be returning and do not recommend this facility to anyone seeking timely or professional medical attention.

If I was the Mayor of Bayonne or GM of Medical center of Bayonne, I would close this place immediately until I hired new professional staff in this place, Oh my God, this place is horrible really horrible place I ever saw. Every individual person there are aggressive, tuff and bad attitude, please take your lovely mother or father away from this hospital. The security guy even yelling at me to move the car from the door of the hospital during I am picking up my mother he saw me picking her up and he was yelling at me. I can’t believe it, how rude he was with me plus the workers inside the hospital are too aggressive people. This place should be shut down until they improve their attitude.

Worst ER experience ever. I went in with abdominal pain which turned out to be uterine fibroids. The physician stuck her finger in me and said "I'm doing this because the patient will say you did nothing for them" which she didn't. It was the most humiliating experience. PA in the ER. check your records they falsify care to insurance companies. Check your bills.

This place will not take anything you say serious. God forbid you even question a doctor’s response they will catch an attitude and give you push back to the point that they punish you with waiting. The staff are extremely unprofessional. They talk about patients that are currently being treated in the moment. They are loud, they don’t check up on you and when you ask for assistance it’s very much I’m not your nurse or let me get the doctor. Please if you need answers save yourself because you won’t get them there.
