Addiction Treatment in Newark

To diagnose a substance use disorder, a doctor, psychiatrist or mental health clinician will lead you through several assessments. This will include looking at your medical history, patterns in your behavior and how substance use impacts your daily life.

Once you have been diagnosed, you’ll get a treatment plan that meets your needs. It varies for each patient and might include withdrawal management (also known as detox).

Your treatment plan may also include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and counseling in individual, family or group formats.

Addiction Support Programs for Essex County Residents

I’m really impressed by Newark Beth Israel Medical Center’s peer recovery program. Through this service, inpatient clients get access to recovery support 24/7. This is a free service funded in full by the New Jersey Department of Health’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Another great offering is their support team for addiction recovery (STAR). This program is also available 24/7 and helps people with opioid use disorder remove personal barriers to their long-term recovery.

My mother was recently here because of her pressure being extremely high! The nurses were very lazy, to the point that my sister was there and my mother's pressure ended up dropping very low, they were out @ the desk conversing about what they were going to do over the weekend! The nurses are not attentive to patient's need and they need more staff who are willing to work and that are concerned about the patient's overall health. If I can help it, my family or I will not choose this hospital!!

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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

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

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 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.

12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs engage in a rigorous process of personal growth as a cornerstone of long-term recovery. They are expected to attend anonymous, peer-led 12 step meetings, which are free, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not required. Self-selected peer sponsors mentor participants as they work through the 12 steps, learning forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and accountability.

Partial 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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not come here!!!!!! They don’t even have beds for patients in the FT ER. The service is terrible. They have you sitting in hard chairs that feel like the back seat of a police car. The nurses were arguing because no one was doing their job correctly. This hospital needs to be shut down, It’s a disgrace to the community! Absolutely terrible service. I would give it zero stars if Google allowed it. If I could upload pictures, I would. DISGUSTING treatment!!!

Absolutely terrible! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! I went to the ER in an ambulance on 05/28. When I got there and told them what’s wrong. The Dr. left and went over to the nurse station making fun of my health issues among other patients as well. I told him I had right sided flank (back) pain, headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, fever, chills, and hot flashes. He literally came back with prescribed medication and discharged papers. He never ran an EKG, or any heart tests, x-ray, or any scans (CT or MRI), never took any bloodwork, nothing! I confronted him about it, saying “I don’t feel comfortable going home knowing I still feel sick, the medicine you gave me did not work, and you ran no tests.” His response was “See your PCP” and he rolled his eyes and had an attitude while saying it, then leaving the room. The ER staff doesn’t care about HIPPA let alone your health. GO ELSEWHERE!!!!

Worst medical center! I have been trying to get a prescription refill for my daughter for 3 days now and, there was one message left on my voicemail to "clarify", yesterday. I have left messages on prescription line, my pharmacy has left messages for the doctor, I have left messages with the answering service, also with the registered nurse just now. This is terrible. why do I have to jump through so many hoops for a prescription refill ???

On a recent visit to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, we were met with friendly and kind staff throughout. However, one nurse in particular truly stood out—Damilola. She cared for our mom with such compassion and professionalism, and kept my sister and me updated throughout the day. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention and care she provided. Our mom is a retired nurse of 35 years, so we hold a special place in our hearts for nurses. It takes truly special people to do what they do—and Damilola, you are one of them. Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback and for taking time to write this review. We will be sure to share your comments with our team.

I had an upsetting experience here involving one of the security guards he was tall 6 feet Haitian or African strong accent. I asked politely to use the restroom, and was allowed in. I was in the bathroom for no more than five minutes at 6:55am when the guard began yelling outside, demanding that I get out. It was loud, rude, disrespectful and completely unnecessary, especially in a hospital setting where calm and respectful behavior should be a priority. No one deserves to be shouted at for using the restroom. I understand that security has protocols, but this approach was unprofessional and made me feel humiliated. I hope the hospital provides better training in how to treat people with basic courtesy.

We appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention and would like the opportunity to learn more.
