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.

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
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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

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. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

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.

Nutrition therapy is more than a simple meal plan during rehab. It's designed to facilitate a faster recovery by giving your body the nutrients it needs to heal. It aids in strengthening your systems and giving you the energy you need for daily functioning and success in other therapies.

I went to 631 Grand St for radiation therapy for breast cancer. The facility is beautiful, clean and inviting. I saw Dr. Motwani who was thorough, kind, charming and easy to talk with. He was thorough when explaining treatment and open and honest about possible side effects. The staff was professional, experienced, kind, friendly and compassionate. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

OH.MY.GAWD! I don’t even know where to begin. From the registration check in lady to the nurses, everything has been so thorough and smooth. EVERYONE is so daggone nice and professional. I wish I lived in Jersey but unfortunately I live near a prison hospital that looks like govt funded and funds were cut off 5 years ago so it’s just filthy and medical staff are just doing their time as some parole duty. It’s where they treat patients like criminals. This hospital in Jersey is night and day. Anyhoo back to this delightful hospital. It’s so clean, modern and bright. Every staff member has been so happy and polite. Where am I? Jersey City Medical Center!!! I just completed surgery and I cannot sing enough praises. Unfortunately I didn’t get everyone’s names. Big shoutout to my fave people: Nurse Nina, Nurse Anna/Anastasia, Dr Liu, nurse Christine, nurses Gabriella, nurse Kameela And every nurse there. I apologize for not remembering the names in pre op. PLEASE Give these ladies raises!!!!!!! We need more nurses like this to run hospitals. They treat each patient with dignity and respect unlike the hospitals in Maryland where they look at you like a nuisance to their day. JERSEY CITY MEDICAL CENTER CEOs should be grateful and proud of their facility and the staff they make you look good. They act like they love their jobs and take pride in it. This is not something to take lightly or for granted. THANK YOU EVERYONE who took care of me today.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear our registration team, nurses (Nina, Anna/Anastasia, Christine, Gabriella, Kameela) and Dr. Liu provided professional, respectful care throughout your surgery.

one of the worst hospital experiences of my life. I went in for surgery 05/19/2025 and while my surgeon was excellent and the procedure went well, the care i received was mediocre at best. To get any nurse attention i’d have to hit the call button 20+ times, i was never offered food…I had to ask several times before even being offered a bite to eat. I was forced into discharged the day after 05/20/2025 when I was not comfortable or ready to leave the facility. I spoke with my surgeon early in the morning and he told me i could stay for as long as needed, i told the nurse i wanted to stay longer and reevaluate after my physical therapy session but the discharge paperwork was already in the works. They took my IV out hours before I made the decision about leaving or staying because they already decided i had to go. They triple dosed me with my pain meds the nurse said “here hit the button a few times to get the most out of it before it disconnects.” All of that was fine until they wanted me out of the room. I have 2 severely blown veins on my arm from the IV. you can clearly see how many times they had to prick me on both arms. Before leaving, the nurse was discussing my discharge instructions and nothing was the same as what my doctor discussed with me. I was told the nurse was going to change my wound dressing and help me shower & when i asked the nurse, they responded with “oh we don’t do that” extremely dismissive. Overall, i felt extremely uncomfortable during my stay and did not appreciate being forced out before being 100% ready. patient care should be more of a priority.
