About Bayonne Medical Center

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.

I brought my daughter to the ER because she was having an asthma attack. She was treated with albuterol, but her oxygen levels remained unstable, ranging between 89–91%. Despite this, the doctor discharged her without first speaking to us. I was extremely confused and concerned. The doctor later came in and told us that the hospital does not have a pediatric unit and advised us not to bring her back there. We were given a prescription and sent home instead of being transferred to a facility that could properly care for her. Trusting my instincts, I took my daughter to RWJBarnabas urgent care, where she was immediately transferred to a children’s hospital in Newark. She was admitted to the pediatric unit and hospitalized for four days. If I had followed the original doctor’s instructions to go home and wait to pick up the prescription the next day, my daughter may not have made it through the night. This experience was frightening and unacceptable. A transfer should have been arranged immediately. This was the worst hospital experience I have ever had, and I would never recommend bringing a child with a serious condition here

I am writing to report a deeply distressing and unsafe experience I had during my recent hospitalization following a complex nine-hour spinal fusion surgery. While my surgeon and the day-shift nurses provided excellent care, my experience with the night-shift nursing staff was alarming, neglectful, and emotionally traumatic during the most vulnerable time of my recovery. Immediately after surgery, while still heavily affected by anesthesia, the night staff failed to perform basic post-operative care tasks. I was not placed on an IV, not given antibiotics, my catheter was not emptied, my compression socks were not put on, and my nurse call button was not plugged in. Had I not had someone staying with me, I would have been unable to call for help while experiencing severe nausea and vomiting due to the anesthesia. Additionally, the night nurses repeatedly pushed my tray table out of reach despite knowing I had just undergone major spine surgery. Each time I pressed the call button, the nurses responded with visible irritation, making me feel as though my legitimate needs were an inconvenience. The following morning, the day nurse immediately recognized the lack of care I had received, corrected the issues, and made every effort to make me comfortable, including arranging a private room. The second night was painful, but the third night became especially traumatic. That night, I attempted to responsibly transition to a lower-dose pain medication. When my pain reached a 7–8 out of 10, I asked my nurse if I was due for the medication. She told me she would check—but never returned. As my pain escalated to a 9, I pressed my call button again. An unfamiliar nurse, whom I had never seen before, entered and said she would find my nurse. She disappeared and did not return. Over the next hour and a half, my pain reached a 10 out of 10, and I urgently needed assistance to get to the bathroom. Each time I called, the same unfamiliar nurse only said there were “no nurses available.” I repeatedly begged for help and told her the name of my nurse, but she insisted I was mistaken and kept searching for the wrong person. When my assigned nurse finally appeared in the hallway, I cried out to her for help. She responded, “We’re working on it, hold on,” despite the fact that I had already been waiting over an hour in severe pain. At that time, my nurse informed me that the unfamiliar nurse did not even work on that floor—something I could not have known as this was my first stay at this hospital. When my assigned nurse eventually came into the bathroom, she advised that I needed to ask for the medication before they could give it to me—meaning that pain medication is not automatically administered on a schedule; patients must notify staff when they are in pain. I had tried to do this, but my request had gone to the wrong nurse, resulting in a dangerous delay. I explained that my pain was at a level 10 and that I needed intravenous medication immediately to be able to stand from the toilet. Despite my distress, she repeatedly interrupted me and refused to provide the medication, leaving me in extreme pain while sitting on the toilet. For the remainder of the night, she remained dismissive and made me feel ashamed for needing care at such a vulnerable time. By the next morning, out of fear of enduring another night of uncontrolled pain and mistreatment, I discharged earlier than medically recommended. This experience left me physically set back, emotionally traumatized, and genuinely fearful for my safety in your facility. What should have been a supported recovery turned into one of the most frightening and humiliating experiences of my life.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
