About Hackettstown Medical Center

Hackettstown Medical Center is a part of the Atlantic Health System and provides mental health care and addiction recovery services for adolescents and adults in Hackettstown, New Jersey. They serve seniors, adults, and youth in an outpatient setting. Court mandated programs and dual diagnosis care are available. They accept Medicare and Medicaid and financial assistance is available based on need.

Medication management and psychotherapy are included in their intensive outpatient program. They can also provide referrals for medical detox. They place a special emphasis on ensuring that a patient makes a lasting recovery while allowing them the ability to go to school or work.

If you need medication to ease withdrawal symptoms or support your long term sobriety, it may be provided in conjunction with counseling and recovery education. If you’re above the age of 14 and you’re at risk of opioid overdose, you might be able to access naloxone free of charge.

I like that aftercare is such a significant part of the program. They want to make sure that no one feels like they don’t have the support they need to make it through difficult moments without relapsing. Prevention and early intervention are the hallmarks of their care philosophy, so they also have options for inpatient treatment and supportive living programs.

US veterans can get special psychological help and counseling services for transitioning to civilian life without falling into substance misuse. They teach effective strategies for coping with PTSD.

The nurse Adam rubbed a giant layer of capsaicin cream on my whole abdomen area and left a thick layer on. Well within 15 minutes my skin was on fire and it felt like someone was torching my insides. I had to call the nurse multiple times and he just told me to put a cold towel on it. Well, my skin was burning, even ice on it hurt. They never got me anything to help with the burning the nurse caused and than refused to give me discharge papers.If someone refuses to do something and asks for papers, why are you now sending another doctor? So they can charge me for ANOTHER "specialist" i think not.Unless you are dying and 5 minutes away, do not go here!

What a wonderful experience (yes, I'm talking about a hospital!). From the lovely lady at the front desk to the nurses in the Same Day Procedures (not sure if that's what it's called) unit at Hackettstown Memorial, my visit was stress-free. The nurses (Julia, Lilly and the surgical nurse) were incredible dedicated, caring, courteous and professional. The anesthesiologist (Dr Willis) was great. My doctor got in earlier than expected so everything was moved up and I was out of there quickly. They all did an outstanding job. The place was clean and well organized, too. No one likes to go to the hospital, but if you have to go, this is the kind of experience you want.

Accepted Insurance

Hackettstown Medical Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Group-based psycho-education and therapy is provided during a three-hour period, three to five days a week. Because patients in our program return home after treatment sessions, they can more quickly begin the transition to everyday living situations and challenges. Hackettstown Medical Center offers an intensive outpatient program specifically for those with drug and alcohol issues.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Overcoming a drug or alcohol addiction is a difficult process, but through careful evaluation and individual determination, it can be accomplished. At Atlantic Behavioral Health, their outpatient chemical dependency programs help adults and adolescents overcome substance abuse issues, while remaining at home, at school or on the job.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient mental health programs are designed to help stabilize those with mental illnesses. At Atlantic Behavioral Health, they encourage personal empowerment among their hospitalized patients through self-awareness and education. After a successful treatment, patients can return to the care of their psychiatrist or clinician and when necessary, may be referred to an intensive outpatient program.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
In the event of a psychiatric emergency, Atlantic Behavioral Health offers crisis intervention services, including a 24-hour hotline, risk assessments and screenings, and community trauma assistance. Newton Medical Center is a state-designated Psychiatric Emergency Services and Screening Center, providing 24-hour emergency mental health care to patients of any age, both over the phone and in person.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Accommodations include two supervised group homes and several semi-supervised apartments. Priority is given to patients recently discharged from state psychiatric facilities that need a supervised living arrangement. A reasonable rent is required for participation.

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.
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.
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

Pet therapy can have many physical and emotional benefits for hospital patients, including reduced blood pressure and stress. Atlantic Health System's pet therapy program, Soothing Paws®, has approximately 80 pet therapy teams, each made up of a hospital volunteer and his or her trained dog, that visit patients and their loved ones in their hospitals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Eating disorders, like anorexia and bulimia, are serious illnesses that can result in both medical and psychological complications. Prompt treatment is essential, but parents are often uncertain if their child has an eating disorder and don’t know where to turn for help. The good news is that with the proper care, full recovery from these conditions is possible and the Pediatric Eating Disorders Center at Atlantic Health System can help. Their program is the only one in New Jersey that is exclusive to children ages 8 to 12 and adolescents ages 13 to 21 and includes parents in all aspects of care from the earliest stages of diagnosis through treatment.

Counseling that includes parental and family involvement is central to their program and highly encouraged. 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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Diet can directly affect a person’s physical health, mental well-being and overall quality of life. Eating healthfully – ensuring that you get the nutrients you need to stay well and manage any health problems – can significantly decrease the amount of medication needed to treat a disease. Overlook Medical Center’s outpatient dietitians are experts in medical nutrition therapy, preventative medicine, current research findings, behavioral change strategies and mindfulness training.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. When a traumatic or catastrophic event occurs – whether at school, work, the neighborhood or larger community – Atlantic Behavioral Health is there to help survivors, witnesses and their families begin the healing process.

I was in the er last week due to throwing up every night for 2 weeks with very little sleep. When I was there I had a cat scan of my stomach and lungs. I was told 4 hours later I could go home. They handed me my walking papers and a script for meds. I did as I was told and went to my primary doctor. He pulled my records for the hospital and asked me if they went over my reports with me. I said no they sent me on my way with no answer. My doctor then informed me I need to see 2 specialist with one being a lung doctor. My cat scans showed sign of cancer. The hospital never told me this. Now a few days later I call the er and ask the nurse if the report should have been gone over with me. She said she didn t know. I d have to ask the nursing supervisor. Well I called her and she hung up on me 2 times. I will never step one foot back into that hospital. The bed side manners are horrible. They don t care about their patients. All we are is a meal ticket to them. Shame on the staff for treating me so poorly.

We had a great experience in same day surgery. Rita was an incredibly caring and communicative nurse who put us at ease about the process and the surgery itself. She s an incredible asset to this department and this facility. Thank you, Rita!Separately, we appreciated the timeliness (less than 30 mins behind for an afternoon procedure) and transparency of the department. The board in the waiting area was helpful and accurate. There was only one time I had a question and the front desk got me an answer in less than 5 mins.

I was just released as an inpatient. E.R. was actually very positive experience, from Dr., RN's, support staff and housekeeping. I am not a great patient. When admitted to 3rd floor, again, Dr.'s RN's, support staff and housekeeping were wonderful. They tolerated me with great kindness. Everyone was knowledgeable, positive and worked as a team to get me well again. Thank you all for a great experience.

I recently underwent a minor outpatient procedure and I was exceptionally pleased with the care I received from the very moment I walked into the Hospital. The team assigned to me (Lauren S, Tracy K, Michelle, Dr. Sammy and others) were friendly and caring. I felt that they truly enjoyed their profession. They took time to explain each step of the procedure and made sure I was not in any pain. Lauren brought me tea and toast after the procedure. I appreciated that very much. Thanks to all of you for your excellent work and the care you took of me. May you continue to use your talents/skills to help others and to glorify God. Many Blessings to all of you!
