I tried to speak to the doctor to explain why the patient was admitted. The doctor never returned my call. I left several messages. Therefore the admission was useless. Nothing was accomplished. This doctor assumed she had all the information she needed to treat. The patient ...

Your feedback is important to us and we really appreciate you taking the time to share it with us. Thank you for the kind words and we hope you are doing well. Take care!
I am a physician and beside myself for checking my daughter in to the adolescent unit. It feels like the worst mistake I have made as a parent. I read all of the horrendous reviews, but was recommended by an outpatient provider I trust.
It was heartbreaking to leave my shy, sweet, depressed daughter in a locked unit which treats 13 yo children like criminals and won’t allow them to have fidget toys or snacks they like to eat.
I called several times today and no one told me much about her. They also told me that I was calling outside of visiting hours even though initially they told me I could call any time.
The worst thing is she is supposed to eat regularly on psych meds, never had a problem eating and now starts refusing meals, unbeknownst to me. This is a clear sign she is struggling.
Caroline and the nurse Eveline are clueless about what happened earlier in the day. They are just dialing it in and WILL NOT CARE about your child.
As a licensed physician I know how to make a formal complaint to the state specifically about negligence/abuse of children in a facility that is supposed to promote mental health.
Read the multitude of negative reviews about this institution and please do not place your child in the care of apathetic people who are not trained and lack compassion.
It will traumatize your child.
Update 8/23/35:
My daughter was discharged, and felt abandoned by the entire staff. There was very little in terms of continuity of care, very difficult to get records. As a physician, I think this is dangerous/irresponsible. She is no longer comfortable without clothes, (even in the shower) and felt "violated" while in the hospital. I spoke with a patient advocate who was supposed to follow up, and never did. I will have to go forward with contacting the State Dept of Health.
If you are a parent struggling with similar issues, please make a complaint to the State Board, it is your right as a parent!
Was there for a third time recently. It was worse than I remembered. I wasn’t there detoxing or anything- I was sent involuntarily because I was depressed. Dr. S called my outside psychiatrist “the guy with the speech impediment” and told me (with a history of anorexia and bulimia) that I just needed to cut dairy and gluten from my diet. I had a personal family crisis while I was in- and despite promising me that, “I may not be able to get you discharged today, but definitely Friday”, I didn’t end up discharged until the following week- conveniently the day before my court hearing. Also conveniently, most of the other involuntary patients were due to court the next day and we ALL got magically better that same day. I didn’t have any meds changes while there. I didn’t meet with my social worker until the day of my discharge (I was there well over a week without a session with her). Groups were run by student nurses with ZERO experience, if they were run at all, because the nursing staff (who were all really great, but severely understaffed) weren’t available. There was almost a patient riot over this. One other patient was assaulted and when she was upset by the lack of staff compassion towards her, she broke her bed and was shot up with meds rather than comforted about her assault.
There was also black mold surrounding the air vents and throughout the ceiling. Visible black mold. I sneezed for the entire first week.
**Years later, I was undiagnosed. I never had bipolar. I have PTSD now, and I have brain lesions from chronic migraine- which caused "hallucinations" (aka- migraine aura) as well as colitis, which they told my was intentional symptoms of an eating disorder. Being tested for sarcoidosis, as well. Not one hospital, including this, did an MRI or anything on me. They wasted a decade of my life and got me sick.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
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
Their Outpatient Treatment Programs Treatment provide comprehensive mental health treatment customized to suit each patient’s recovery needs. They offer group therapy, medication monitoring, psycho-education, family work, as well as coordination of care and referrals upon successful discharge. Services are designed to help you develop the skills to help prevent relapse of symptoms and/or substance abuse.
Inpatient
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.
Intensive Outpatient
The adult psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is for people who want to maintain their everyday life but also need more intensive therapy. Services include mental health treatment for depression, anxiety, anger, chronic pain, mood disorders, impulsive behavior, and grief and loss. Their partial hospital (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are geared toward meeting your individual needs in a less restrictive environment. Patients frequently participate in our PHP & IOP as a step down from inpatient care.
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
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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.
24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Medically Assisted Detox
If you feel out of control with your substance use, they can help. They can provide you with a safe detox that will ease your discomfort and assist you towards a healthier lifestyle. They provide a medically managed detox and supplement
this with a range of therapies. This will be the start of learning new ways of coping and a new way of living
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.
If you struggle with both acute psychiatric symptoms and substance use issues, they will provide a safe place to help stabilize both issues in a clinical setting. Their team will assist by helping you understand both issues, and managing your symptoms. The Co-Occurring Disorder program is specially designed to recognize and meet your individualized needs, and provide a place where both issues are understood. They can provide you with the skills so you can make recovery a reality
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
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.
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Patients are involved in journaling, poetry writing, watercolor painting, group murals, and other creative/art activities. Masters-level art therapists in their department, provide art therapy to our adolescents and adults. During the Music Expression/Songwriting Workshops, patients are guided in writing a song about their feelings, pertaining to recovery and wellness.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
