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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in New Jersey provides a setting where you can withdraw from alcohol or drugs under close monitoring of experienced medical staff. These trained professionals can intervene at any time if needed. They can prescribe medications to reduce cravings and physical discomfort. Mental health professionals are also available to address any emotional and psychological challenges you experience as you begin your recovery journey.

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

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

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.

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.

I recently had emergency surgery at Community Medical Center. I arrived by ambulance and was treated in the emergency room, admitted and prepped for surgery. The surgery was done less than 7 hrs after my arrival and I was home the next day! Which happened to be Christmas Eve! Everyone I encountered was professional and kind. To the emergency staff and doctors, to the surgical team and Dr. Jane Park and especially the nursing staff on 3B ( special shout out to Lauren (RN) I want to give my sincere thanks! I feel like a new woman! I would definitely recommend Community Medical Center to anyone in the Ocean County area.

Absolute trash! Incompetence runs rampant here. Doctors are clues less or don t care, nurses smell like cigarettes and just complain all day about being under staffed like it s our problem. This places lacks professionalism and cleanliness. Unless you re dying , goto jersey shore.

My mother was sent here on Christmas Eve by paramedics due to influenza A with severe vomiting, coughing and inability to catch her breath. She arrived about 1am and by 3:30 am calling me up while I have pneumonia and 4 others with flu to come and pick her up. After her discharge she was sent back in by paramedics for severe vomiting, inability to keep anything down, low pulse ox, paroxysmal coughing flu A positive and after begging case manager they kept her in observation. Along with high blood pressure and inability to walk and deathly ill they discharged her to me who was unable to care for myself telling me whatever they could do there for her I could do at home. She is at my home dying from the flu that turned into pneumonia bc they simply do not care. Another family member admitted for flu A and has been in for 4 days. Why? Maybe bc he s a bit younger? Mom has excellent medical coverage but the truth is they don t care about the elderly or their patients in general. This hospital might as well sit in the middle of a third world country. Our healthcare is embarrassing. Still waiting for a call back from administration. Guess I ll die waiting like my mother!

I was in heart failure and I was shocked at the change Community has gone through! Now that it's RWJ It's hands down the best hospital around.. I was in the ICU for 2 weeks then transferred to Debora for surgery. I would not go to another hospital....

I don't usually post bad reviews as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. However, the care that I received at this hospital's ER was so below acceptable that I felt compelled to share. Let me start by saying that unless I was actually close to death, I would crawl on my hands and knees to another hospital before heading to Community. From the rude nurse who clearly thought she was doing me some favor, rather than the job she is paid to do, to the young doctor with an attitude who examined me and then left without telling me anything, this is the worst care I have ever received in a hospital....and I have been to a number of them between NJ, NY and PA. But the absolute worst part is that after I received my discharge papers, which took forever to get, I was then pointed to the exit and told to walk out. The important part to know is that I entered the ER unable to walk or put any weight on my left leg and when I was discharged, without any family present and still in great pain and only able to shuffle bent over, they didn't help me out of the bed or put me in a wheelchair. They had no concern how I was getting home by myself doped up on painkillers since I arrived in an ambulance and I was left to find my own way out of the hospital in my pajamas and robe. It's too bad I didn't fall as perhaps a good lawsuit would get the powers to be to recognize they are hiring sub par medical staff, at least in the ER. So the moral of the story is this.... unless your dying, drive yourself to Riverview or Monmouth Medical. You can thank me later.

What is going on the 4th floor?! Mom went into the ER....They accidently pulled the IV out.... being rough! She finally gets a room. She's 81 with major health issues. They have her all drugged up; can't even understand her! They had to put two more IVs in! They don't know what they're doing! They act like she's another number...no kindness... nothing! She called me crying. The bed was deflated and had springs going into her back. They ignored her. When I called and threatened with my attorney, in five minutes, new bed! This place is terrible! The ironic thing is....She retired 14 yrs ago from this hospital! We are saddened that if they can treat retirees like this, they have no sympathy for anyone!

I just wanted to say that this was a great hospital and everyone was so friendly here. I was here around July 13 or July 14 of 2024 and was in the crisis center for psych patients. I am about 17 years old and was 16 at the time, but I just wanted to apologize for crying a lot and asking a lot of questions and kept asking for the screener and to talk to someone to the one guy in there I am not sure if he was a nurse or not but I wanted to apologize to him as well and everyone else who was working there that day. I just really missed my family and wanted to be home with them and was scared of being admitted, but I understand the reasons why I was, and I am trying to become a better person. So I just wanted to say sorry for all of that and hope all the workers in the crisis center see this message. Thank you!
