my wife was currently 36 weeks pregnant and this was our second time visiting HMH Raritan Bay Medical Center that week regarding pain in her left leg. she stated to them & they also seen it had discoloration, swelling and coldness to the touch they sent her home without even doing any other test besides a ultrasound which whoever was the ultrasound tech missed a huge blood clot from her knee to her groin area. later that night because my wife was in so much pain we ended up going to jersey shore hospital due to her still having extreme pain where they found the blood clot and ended up keeping her for 4 days. this is the worst hospital and i would never recommend it. How do you guys miss symptoms like that with a pregnant woman?

This hospital has doctors that diagnose medical marijuana patients with cannabis use disorder. Those doctors can and should be sued for malpractice.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Clinical Services

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.

Google review summary Reviews To start off If I can give this hospital zero stars i would very unprofessional to start i was trying to reach the behavioral unit on the phone from 7am to 2pm to get info about my son and never got a clear answer so I ended up going in person when I got there I walked up to the security desk and they called it is department forming by the name of patient experience. I waited in the waiting room there for about 30 minutes until a man by the name of Joseph fender came down with a woman which I don't remember her name but she was more professional then Mr Joseph fender who said he is the director of the behavioral unit so we started talking about my son, which is a patient There, in the waiting area near the cafeteria with no privacy, just talking about a patient out loud where is the patient's rights none at very unprofessional all I wanted to do was get my son transferred out the hospital because of a prior bad experience where they diagnosed him with an appendix and then a week later, I had to take him to a hospital in New York to be rediagnosed with another disease. And then I was told that his appendix was not necessary to have. So there was no medical malpractice. That's why I did not want to keep my son in that hospital this guy Joseph fender made get so mad in that waiting area that security had to be called because he was trying to flip his words on me and say my son had to be admitted there and that he was in the right area how can my son be the right area will your doctors misdiagnosed my son's disease? And then I made it into a malpractice I told you I want my son out there and you said he belong there who are you to determine that when you have no professional skills, i begged you and told you that my son's health insurance will not cover in this area that my son's health insurance is out-of-network and all you did was brush me off. I asked you to transfer my son to New York, where he can get the correct medical treatment. And you denied me as well. I really hope that the higher-ups look into this issue and make sure Mr Joseph fender never be allowed to talk patients, family members or whoever this guy is unprofessional I will keep fighting for my son's rights as this hospital only wants the insurance money

I had a hysteroscopy procedure at HMH raritan Bay referred by Dr. Mary Nath (OBG/GYN) . My experience in this hospital from reception, registration to the OT was EXCELLENT! The Admissions Nurese- RowenaRN- such a pleasing person explaining everything so patiently- we even talked about Indian cuisine and she loves Biryani Procedural nurses- Helena and Charlene Anesthesiologist - Dr Lkahnani was so kind and assuring, I was scared on General anesthesia and they guided me so carefully and we also had fun when my friends asked her to find out who my best frind is once I am under GA:) My crazy good god sent friends Recovery room Ellen and Michella were also very friendly and nice overall a great hospital..

Honestly, I do not recommend going there at all, please do not go. My mom was there with a pancreas problem for an entire night and one day, they did not treat her well, they did not help her go to the bathroom, they said they did not have time. The service was terrible, the nurses were very rude, when we said something to them they would say I'll be right back and they did not come back, there are no doctors, when I arrived and saw my mom like that, I asked why they did not give her medicine or what we could do, there was no information, the nurse told me I do not know anything, I just arrived, you have to give me time, so I asked them to discharge her so I could take her to another hospital and they did not want to discharge her, they did not give me any paperwork about the treatment they were supposedly giving her, they did not want to lend me a wheelchair, and when I took my mom out, they did not help me get her into the car, no nothing, really very bad treatment, very bad service, very bad attention, I do not recommend going there at all, at least my experience there was very unpleasant and frightful.
