About Clara Maass Medical Center : Physiatry Department

Clara Maass Medical Center – Behavioral Health provides inpatient and outpatient care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors who are struggling with mental and behavioral health disorders. They also treat co-occurring conditions, including substance abuse. You can pay for your care through self payment, private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.

Here, you can participate in a range of evidence based behavioral health treatments designed to help you face your current challenges and thrive in the future. If you’re in the middle of a mental health crisis and you need immediate support, you can begin in their acute inpatient program. Then, you can transfer to their outpatient program once you’re stable and ready to step down to a less intensive level of care.

Some of the services they offer here include individual, group, and family counseling sessions, comprehensive case management, and medication management. Their team also includes therapists who are specialized in trauma informed care and crisis situations. If you prefer to talk to someone who’s gone through a similar journey and can offer first hand advice and accountability, there’s a peer support program available.

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.

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.

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

inpatient iconInpatient
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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in New Jersey is more than a confrontational conversation. This organized effort is specific and goal-oriented. During the intervention, family members share specific examples of how the person's addiction has impacted their lives and spell out what they will do if the individual does not get treatment. The intervention also presents a clear treatment plan, which typically involves input from intervention services.

Treatments

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I went for surgery and I really enjoyed my temporary stay here. The staff were very nice- from the front desk to the actual doctors themselves. They made sure to tend to my needs and make sure I was calm and collected for my procedure. Not to mention, the process was quick and smooth all the way to the end of the day. Not sure why this place isn't rated well, but my experience was wonderful compared to a lot of other emergency services I've been to in NJ. Definitrly recommend. :)

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Both of my grandmother's died in this hospital. During their treatment they would be left alone for hours with no help from nurses to assist with pain or the bathroom. Nurses constantly had to be chased down in order to get anny actual help. Even from my own experience here, I was mistreated. I suffer from depression and I tried to off my self and was treated like crap for it. There is no separate ward for people with cases with depression so I was forced into a wing of the hospital with actual mentally unstable patients. I was locked in a room with another woman who was just screaming for hours with no one to come check in on her. Some time later I woke up to find another patient had broken out of his room and was just staring through the window of my door. Some time later I was moved into a insolation room no bigger that a closet, where I was basically forgotten for a week. They would come greet me in the morning ask me if I was thirsty or hungry and then I wouldn't see anyone for the rest of the day. I was starved while I was here I had lost about 15lbs in 1 week before being transferred. And when my mother came to visit and I started to cry and complain about my treatment I was then threatened by staff that I would be put in a straightjacket. It is obvious that this hospital does not care about people, at least that's what I can tell from my experience. If you care about your selfves and your loved ones be sure to do your research before hand and never come to this hospital.

Katherine C. At the front check in desk for emergency surgery is deceitful. She refused to bill me for my copay. Said I would have to delay my surgery because management wasn t there to talk to me after I was already told I could be billed. She told me I had to pay 50% right there. Then she proceeded to charge my card the full 100%. Again she could help me because management wasn t there. When I asked another person when management would be there they went to ask her what happened and she lied and said if I call my insurance company they ll reimburse me for the copay. When it was time for me to picked up after surgery, the nurse called my ride to inform them I was ready to be picked up and was waiting. The same woman Katherine C. Refused to allow him to come get me telling him I was still upstairs and wasn t ready to be picked up yet. A liar. I will never be going to this hospital again and I hope this woman gets reprimanded.

Today I went because I felt very sick, I had dizziness, a headache, an earache, a vascular problem. I was hoping that they would do tests or studies on me but they didn't just question me and they gave me 2 pills and that's it and that's it, how bad attention and waste of time

Very bad experience, in the clara mass oncology department. was in this hospital undergoing chemotherapy treatment and I felt sad about my situation. The oncology nurse, Antonucci, Michelle, PA, came to her own conclusions and took me to the emergency room so that a doctor could supposedly medicate me. She did a great disservice by authorizing the internal psychiatry department to admit me as a homicide person who attempted suicide for an indefinite period of time. I went in without knowing that it was an indefinite admission. I panicked when I found out what the nurse Micheli had recommended. They had already taken all my belongings, clothes and everything including my cellphone and told me, "Relax, you'll be here for a long term " I asked to talk to a psychiatrist before they tie me to the bed and gave me a drug in my vein. The psychiatrist talked to me and saw no reason to lock me in homicide department. I will never go back to this hospital again. I had to stop my chemo treatment and now I'm going to another hospital. Be careful when the hospital asks you to sign. something quick, because the oncology nurse Micheli gave me a tablet and said do this click here and here quickly so I can take you to an appointment and she did a mean trick, but I believe in God and life is a ping pong * Today is 11/10/2024.* Stephen M Abo, DO LLC he s a great oncologist doctor, only I believe doctors don't make more any decisions based on what nurses say or suggest, make your own decisions you are a doctor, Claramass Hospital was my favorite hospital, but I changed my mind because of a bad decision from a nurse navigator I preferred not to attend this hospital anymore, because I was nervous and felt bad many things changed in my life, new stories cancer, chemo, hair falling out, I lost my job... it's hard for any human being, but the worst was the decision of Nurse Micheli she took me to a psychiatric department informing me that it was just for a prescription for anxiety, and when I realized it was an internal department for an indefinite period by order of her informing that I was trying to kill myself and never I said that was never my intention it's been a month since this happened in October, 02 2024. Her decision affected me a lot, I can t no longer trust the medical team...
