Our experience with Pheonix started when my husband came home from rehab. From our very first meeting in his intake Laura handled us with care, compassion and her own touch of humor to help us relax and helped him ease into what turned out to be life changing experience. Since then we ve had the chance to interact with almost all of the staff and have not had anything short of a positive experience. We had a few bumps along the way but each time we ve hit a road block the entire staff was there to help.Our lives have changed in so many ways since that first day. Their passion for helping people reach their potential has made us more than a client-program relationship into more of a family relationship. So much so that when my son who lived three states away needed similar help we wanted nothing more than to move him back home and place his mental health needs in the hands of the most capable team we know.From the bottom of our hearts thank you Pheonix Behavioral Health. We never would have been able to make it to where we are today without you. I ve given you the two most important people in my life to care for and I couldn t have asked for anything better.We are proud to be a Phoenix family.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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

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

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 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, 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.

Medically Assisted Detox

A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off addictive substances. When you become physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, quitting abruptly can cause a host of challenging and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand to monitor any symptoms, to provide medication if possible, and to help keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible throughout this process.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.

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

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 settings offer you a diverse perspective on addiction and recovery. People from a variety of backgrounds gather together to discuss their challenges and speak openly and in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. This enriches your experience and your understanding of addiction and recovery.

During individual therapy for drug addiction, patients receive a customized and tailored approach to understanding their unique circumstances and providing them with targeted interventions. These include coping skills, relapse prevention plans, and developing resilience, all of which are essential for long term recovery.

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.

Most experts in couples therapy are trained in several modes of treatment. This allows your therapist to draw from various techniques to personalize your therapy for your needs. This may include cognitive, emotional, and behavioral methods, which are all designed to help you strengthen your relationship.

Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Family therapy sessions address addiction related conflicts and other issues between members of the family unit. By strengthening communication and coping skills, as well as creating a nurturing environment, the family can help support their loved one's recovery.

incredible services and staff at phoenix behavioral health, the absolute best, most helpful and understanding php/iop programs i've been to. the staff works hard to create a comfortable, fun, and productive environment. isabel and laura always made program something i wanted to come back to, and the entire staff was just generally kind and supportive. would definitely recommend to anyone looking for group therapy or someone who just needs support.

Izaac Kee

Had a good experience at Phoenix during my 5 months there. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Isabel, Phil, and sometimes Laura were especially helpful to me during my time there, they were very understanding and patient. They very clearly cared about their clients there and time to time I would get pulled aside during breaks or after group to ensure I was doing ok thar day. Isabel especially had a good knack for reading her clients to see if they were actually doing ok or not and would regularly check in with them when she had the time. Laura would always send a daily quote to everyone she could and also made sure everyone knew she had an open door policy so you can get whatever you needed to off your chest and was very helpful and insightful as she was able to relate to what you were needing help with. All of the councilors there made sure every subject they went over was easily understandable and if any confusion were to arise they would easily help that confusion so everyone could understand the subject equally. If I had the choice to go back I would with no doubt and I would 100% go back to Phil as he was very understanding with my situation and saw right through me every time, which I appreciated, and he was always available when needed for further help.

Andre Williams

Had a great experience with Phoenix during my 3-month time there. Laura did my intake and was careful to ensure I was comfortable, heard, and respected. Each staff member I interacted with was committed to the betterment of our mental health and physical wellbeing - would highly recommend Phoenix to anyone struggling!

Ultimate Empire

Great program! Curriculum repeats a bit, but staff tries their best to keep it going in a positive direction. Great staff! Especially Laura who you can talk to anything about, Isabel who offers great advice, Phil who always asks the right questions, Jules is always upbeat, singing, and dancing, and Jess with her by the book attitude. Food is decent in the program. The director and Tina who runs the uds station are wonderful people as well! Bathrooms are clean.

Phoenix Behavioral Health has been great with all my needs. They have helped me with information on my mental illness as well as helping with other resources such as resume building. Anything I needed the staff were more than willing to put the clientele first. Phoenix treats me with respect. I didn't feel like an outcast. Thank you Phoenix.
