About Northbrook Behavioral Health Hospital

Northbrook Behavioral Health Hospital is a psychiatric care hospital that is committed to exclusively treating behavioral health concerns, including substance abuse and dual diagnosis conditions. It is located in Blackwood, New Jersey and provides inpatient treatment for adults throughout the state.

When you choose Northbrook Behavioral Health Hospital for treatment, you’ll get unparalleled care. The acclaimed psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists at this center have years of experience treating substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. They are known to effectively treat high-acuity cases through robust treatment plans and comprehensive discharge planning and support.

You might also enjoy the adjunctive therapies offered on an inpatient basis to those needing assistance with overcoming addiction. The adjunctive therapies at this hospital are unequal to virtually any other hospital in the state and nationally. The adjunctive therapies you can expect to enroll in include music therapy, art therapy, recreational therapy and spirituality therapy.

Specialists in their respective fields oversee these therapies, so you can count on the treatment effectively helping treat addiction the way it is supposed to. In addition, you will be given a designated social worker who will help you devise aftercare planning and assist with follow up appointments to ensure you remain substance free.

So, if you’re interested in inpatient treatment at this hospital, consider speaking with your insurer. Since the Joint Commission accredits the hospital, it accepts most major health insurance plans, so you shouldn’t have an issue getting your treatment approved. However, if you do encounter problems consider out of network benefits or payment plans with the hospital if it’s permitted.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabs enable clients to receive a full continuum of care while continuing to live at home. They're often ideal for clients who are stepping down from inpatient care but some clients may prefer to transition into outpatient treatment immediately after completing detox. Many outpatient facilities also offer ambulatory medical detox for low-risk clients. Outpatient treatment generally includes psychotherapy and life skills training. Clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients often enter inpatient rehab following detox, but they may also enroll during early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient rehabs provide housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Clients typically receive multiple individual, group, and/or family therapy sessions weekly. Many programs also offer extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative inpatient rehabs provide holistic therapies as well.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
A sober living home in New Jersey is for individuals who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction issues. This type of halfway house residence is focused on helping individuals learn and apply the tools of recovery. The setting provides fellowship, support, and structure to prevent relapse. The homes are typically designed for either men or women, but some may offer space for women with their children.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in New Jersey provides a setting where you can withdraw from alcohol or drugs under close monitoring of experienced medical staff. These trained professionals can intervene at any time if needed. They can prescribe medications to reduce cravings and physical discomfort. Mental health professionals are also available to address any emotional and psychological challenges you experience as you begin your recovery journey.

Treatments

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.

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 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.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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 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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I was treated with compassion and respect, and have a lot to report about Northbrook Behavioral Hospital. Above all, the staff is top quality, some of the best of the best only. Medical care was above standard, and the staff truly make an impact on patients lives. I stayed on the Center 1 Unit and it was constantly being cleaned. I felt anxiety and witnessed some disturbing and disruptive behaviors, but was well educated by the facility, and I was always kept safe as well. To the best of my knowledge, Mental Health Technicians Ms. Tiffany, and Mr. Ty especially as well as all the others were very respectful and helpful, and introduced themselves and made us all feel very comfortable from the beginning to the end of the stay. I met every member of the team, including the newer interns and staff members who made me feel like a human with rights and dignity despite my mental health treatment. Confidentiality was always prioritized. I was always attended to by the nursing team, and the maintenance and dining facilities were top-notch. I was able to choose music I enjoyed listening to during group therapy sessions and leisure time, and we always went outside for a good amount of time more than once a day at least. The unit had an art room with a piano and high quality painting materials, and a Solarium with plants and included gardening groups. The individual therapists were very competent and provided great help. My therapist was Franca, who initially convinced me to stay and gave resources that were relevant to my situation. The Substance Abuse counselors were also very helpful and I found their groups quite touching. Also, I was respectfully allowed to take care of my hygiene needs privately despite there being public showers. Do not be afraid to come and get help at this place. I cannot promise you will get better, but if you are honest and humble, it will make a difference. Thank you Northbrook staff! I did not mention everyone, but each staff member was truly helpful. I would love to exchange my gratitude to the facility for saving my life from serious suicidal thinking. Feeling much better Ms

ALERT! The bad reviews are NOT A LIE. I’m a nurse and I would tell you, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! This place needs to shut down!!! This place seems like they just care about making money by keeping their patients and could care less about your mental health/ well being! My 64 year old father newly diagnosed depressed is traumatized and still anxious after being here for 3 weeks with no improvement! Lost 20 pounds, sent to ER for dehydration twice !!!! They had no CARE PLAN! We had to beg and force them to discharge him or he would’ve died if kept here! He is worse now than when he got admitted !!! Please shut down! And Brooke, you better not respond with the same little automated message you send everyone!

I don’t think I could say enough awful things about this “facility”. The majority of staff is completely unresponsive and show no empathy. Family members have to be the advocates for your patients, not returning calls, giving no information on treatment plan or discharge date makes this impossible. . My loved one feels unable to advocate for themselves for fear of retribution in the form of further time, the quiet room or being dosed with meds. That fact that patients feel that way is unacceptable. Making the people in your care feel helpless, afraid and not heard seems to go again the do no harm code medical professionals are supposed to abide by.

My hospitalization at Northbrook was by far the best care I have received in many years. Northbrook is like Carrier Clinic and Fair Oaks were back in the 80s. The days are filled with many well run therapy groups. All the social workers and ancillary therapists here are caring and qualified. The Substance Abuse Group was run like a high functioning Dual Diagnosis AA meeting. And I loved the pet therapy and music groups. For me, good music is very calming and dogs are pure love. Kelly's cognitive behavioral therapy groups deal with real issues and offer real solutions to the problems I face in my life with mixed mania. Even my psychiatrist was unafraid to make a big adjustment to my antipsychotic, doubling the dose, and I am now firmly grounded because of this. Rarely do psychiatrists in a short term hospital want change or adjust meds. But my doctor took responsibility, made the change, and I am doing very well today because of her. If nothing changes nothing changes and just a simple change in my med dosage has brought me into a reality I left years ago. The only down side to Northbrook is their no smoking policy. Carrier Clinic, Princeton House, and Summit Oaks all allow smoking. When I am having a hospitalization for psychotic mania the last thing I need to deal with is going through tobacco withdrawal. Healing from mental illness is possible and my stay at Northbrook has been a turning point in my life. As the months pass I am steadily improving. If I ever feel mania beginning or start I talking with my angels I will gladly go back to Northbrook for help. Wishing all who read this a serene and sound mind, Tom O'Connor.
