We arrived around 7pm, they had my sister writhing in pain on the floor for more than two hours without so much as a cup of water! She was vomiting profusely and they sat her in a corner and completely ignored us for almost 3 hours! To make matters worse the front desk girls were cackling about one of the girls cheating husbands. I don’t expect the staff to walk around solemn all the time but at the very least read the room. Be empathetic, be aware that some people are in pain while you’re sitting around gossiping! So unprofessional but this hospital has always been this way. I’m second gen Hoboken and no matter how many name changes they under go the service is always horrific.

I just wanted to apologize to Natalie O. at the children's psych ward for the way I acted back around April of 2025. I'm not sure if she was a social worker for psych patients but I saw her in the ER and I think she worked for them. She tried to help me by suggesting therapy but I refused and told her that she was very disrespectful but I was actually the one being disrespectful and I'm very sorry about that. There were some things about the hospital I wasn't satisfied about but mainly this review is to apologize to Natalie O. and appreciate her trying to help.

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.

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 at Christ Hospital 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.

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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term, intensive outpatient option designed for those with moderate to severe addictions who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment is often fully covered by insurance and provides structured programming (i.e. individual and group therapy). A typical partial hospitalization program can meet 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 20 hours, offering intensive treatment during the day while allowing you to return home after. PHP treatment duration can vary based on your progress but averages 90 days.

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.

You can find comprehensive substance abuse treatment in New Jersey in drug and alcohol rehabs. These treatment programs typically provide a full continuum of care including medically assisted detox, inpatient, outpatient, dual-diagnosis, and intensive outpatient. With a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation, addiction experts provide individualized treatment plans to meet your specific needs. These programs address substance use disorders using evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), individual and family counseling, and recovery support groups.

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.

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.

I will update this review as needed. During my first experience at Hoboken, I found the hospital to be dated and a bit dingy which gave me reservations about scheduling a surgery there. Then I reviewed the reviews and I have to say, I grew even more concerned about the level of care provided while in the recovery rooms. I dont know if this has changed but I seriously hope the hospital takes these reviews onto consideration and does something to improve patient experiences. The reviews in conjunction with the dated appearance are going to prevent people from selecting this hospital for a surgical preference which wont be good for the hospital. Also, does the staff feel appreciated? If not, this trickles down to patient care.

Avoid this place at all costs and only maybe if you are dying. Some of the nursing staff is rude and the place is known to receive drug addicts having withdrawal symptoms. The hospital administrator and social worker should be suspended or fired. I'll begin with the positive: Although the food is surprisingly delicious, it was difficult to get nurses to come to the room during my almost-weeklong stay. That was the only good thing to say. During my stay, I was given strong medication that could have lethal reactions when combined with my our medications. However, I was unceremoniously pressured to leave and eventually discharged against my will after the social worker came to see me and suggested homeless shelters implying that I was homeless and didn't want to leave when it was a matter of feeling unsafe although I'm a highly educated and courteous professional. They acted in an illegal and unethical manner by discharging me against my will although my insurance was paying for it. Ultimately, the hospital administrator entered my room and agreed to let me stay under watch until the late afternoon of my final day. However, she then abruptly reentered the room to reneg on what we had agreed with a nurse as the witness. Instead, she approached me--a model, quiet, polite, normal, and highly educated patient that has worked in the medical field and has friends that are doctors and nurses--and had the head of security shockingly show up to remove me although I had not argued, yelled or anything remotely close to being difficult. I am appalled by what happened and nervous to go to another emergency room after what happened. I will be filing a formal complain with the NJ Department of Health and pursuing legal action. The hospital is still welcome to reach me for a resolution. For now, my feedback and legal action stands.

Hospital is very professional attentive to the details. Walks extra miles to help senior citizens. Very patient to help out. Thank you to Margaret Rivera in registration and Migna Cruz from the lab. Yalixza from the front desk for being nice. Service with a beautiful smile. I will give 10 stars if it possible.

I am disgusted and appalled by the care I received at Hoboken University Medical Center. The ambulance took forever to arrive, I was extremely sick and about to pass out. When I arrived at the hospital instead of care, I was met with yelling and confusion. A nurse immediately began yelling, “Take her down the hall,” like I wasn’t even a person, while my EMT argued where to put me. No one asked how I was feeling — just chaos. When they finally placed me in a room, I immediately felt sick and began throwing up. Not one nurse brought me anything to throw up in — I literally had to throw up on the floor, and it stayed there for hours before it was even cleaned. I was laying over it the entire time. What made everything even worse was the environment itself. Imagine being sick, weak, and lying there trying to stay calm — and all you can hear nonstop are nurses and staff laughing, yelling, cursing, and joking around like they’re at a social gathering, not in a hospital full of sick patients. It was loud, chaotic, and completely unprofessional. There were elderly patients around me who didn’t even speak English, and they were just as ignored. It honestly felt like none of us were being treated as human beings — just people taking up space while the staff socialized around us. The doctor I eventually saw disappeared for long stretches and offered almost no communication. I was kept there far longer than necessary, freezing the entire time, and my mom had to go find me a blankets because no one else bothered. To make matters worse, I never even received a proper bill from the hospital — only a collections notice demanding payment. The lack of organization and accountability is unbelievable. Overall, this hospital is unclean, disorganized, and staffed by people who seem to have no compassion or professionalism. I felt completely neglected, disrespected, and unsafe the entire time I was there. If you have any other option, do not come here. This is run more like a halfway house than a hospital.

I was the last ECT patient at Hoboken University Hospital. Reason being the first time they did it they burnt my brain so bad I was floating on the ceiling. They tried everything you could think of to stop the pain but nothing worked until a man who had an identical twin brother who gave me a shot of lidocaine but I don’t know how much, what type and I’m dying with 2 rare diseases one of them Complex Regional Pain Syndrome the most painful disease in the world and they won’t give me my records or even exactly I was given over 25 times. Yeah after they gave temporal line damage they hid it and did 19 more sections on me. All I need is the dosage and the exact thing I was given. I filled out all of the paper work and I’m dying in the worst pain imaginable.
