I had a few problems there...but the problems weren't because of them, they were because I didn't want the help at the time. So its my only fault for leaving...but the counselors are great , my roommate was great , good was great, attitudes of nurses were great. The Jamaican nurse was amazing ....she treated me like a regular person the street and not just some random junkie..so even though I (A.M.A) ... [ Which means walking out of the detox without them giving consent] Because I was 3 days clean and thought I could go home and use Suboxone at home, but the taper and detoxi at home is harder then you think ,.. but I would even go back to this place but i would have to wait a month. I don't have a month to wait so I have to go somewhere else. But discovery is a good place. Give em a try.band I hope you're okay with your treatment to you all! You all deserve great lives

I can t return for undisclosed and unspecified reasons but I ll be damned when it comes to actually being treated like a human while you are in discovery It s helpful. This option makes their next door neighbors (no hope) seem like the low iq inbred stepchildren on the block taking candy from strangers and eating it with the wrapper still on it. Seriously there literally is no comparison when it comes to comfort, respect, clarity, and overall environment. Go to discovery for the truth, the chance, and the good experience. Don t make the mistake of accidentally walking into the new hope side as If you so much as sit in a chair u have lice by the time you get up. Good on you discovery! Shame on you no hope!

Accepted Insurance

Discovery Institute – Marlboro New Jersey 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
12-step icon12-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).
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Discovery Institute opened a 16-bed halfway house for men. Men will find a safe, sober living environment as they build a strong recovery foundation, secure employment, and transition into life as a productive member of society. Through their stay in the halfway house the men attend 12-step recovery meetings, didactic lectures focus on living a drug and alcohol free life, as well as groups and individual therapy focused on maintaining a strong drug free lifestyle in an outpatient environment.
24-hour icon24-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 iconMedically Assisted Detox
Opiate detox is very uncomfortable, but it is better managed and more successful with medical supervision. When treated by doctors, those who undergo opiate detox usually go on medications like non-narcotic pain relievers and blood pressure regulators to wean their bodies off of the opiate drugs in their systems. Through detox programs, like the ones at Discovery Institute, medical professionals can oversee the opiate detox process, ease symptoms, prescribe appropriate medications for pain relief, and provide all-around support for patients in recovery. Utilizing the support of medical professionals is highly recommended if you are looking to successfully complete an opiate detox.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
At Discovery Institute, they recognize how difficult it can be to get a loved one afflicted with drug abuse and addiction to agree to go to treatment. For this reason, they encourage and support interventions. A drug and/or alcohol intervention is when a number of people close to an addict come together to confront the addict about their concerns at once. Discovery Institute offers guidance to loved ones who are attempting an intervention. From the planning process to helping with intervention best practices, they can help you have the best chance possible in making your loved one recognize the severity of their addiction and agree to get help.

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.

According to the Journal of American Medical Association, 37% of alcoholics and 53% of drug addicts suffer from a co-occurring mental illness. These dual diagnosis patients often suffer from symptoms outside of their addiction, and without proper treatment, are at a greater risk of relapse once they leave treatment. At Discovery, they have doctors and therapists on-staff who are experienced in treating co-occurring mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. They work with their clients to get them on the correct treatment regimens to address their addiction as well as their dual diagnosis.

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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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

Group therapy is a daily part of drug and alcohol addiction treatment in most programs. At Discovery Institute of New Jersey, they provide different kinds of group therapy each day to make sure their clients have a well-rounded, complete approach to their care. No two sessions are ever alike, but their clients will be with the same therapists and peers to establish a sense of trust, respect, belonging and support. Their goal is to foster a healthy group dynamic that supports the recovery journey of each individual involved through collaboration, sharing, feedback, and positive emotional interaction.

Individual therapy is a critical component of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. At Discovery Institute of New Jersey, they start treatment with therapy immediately so that they can get to know the client and figure out what their specific needs are. In addition to a medical evaluation, this is one of the cornerstones of starting successful treatment.

Traumatic experiences, such as early childhood abuse or being in an accident, can change the way the brain functions and lead individuals to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms such as drug or alcohol abuse. Their therapists work with clients to process these traumatic memories and to create new, healthy coping mechanisms that will serve them in their pursuit of long-term recovery.

Addiction can strain important family relationships. At Discovery, they have a family counseling program that allows their clients and their loved ones to process emotions and experiences, set boundaries, and reconnect with one another in a therapeutic, safe environment.

I was here a year ago and this was my experience. The BHT's are absolute thugs with a prison mentality. They think they're CO's and try to intimidate the clients. They don't contribute anything to the therapeutic environment. The counselor I had was untrained, unprofessional and got mad at me for wanting to leave one day, even though I eventually changed my mind and completed. I have no idea why this pretend counselor took it personally that I didn't want to stay. Obviously I was struggling at the time and was open minded enough to change my mind. I don't know what I stayed for though, this place didn't help at all. Their psych was pushing Vraylar on everyone in the facility, whether it was the right med or not. Turns out for me, it had the most adverse effects on my thinking and personality and eventually led to the loss of my job after continuing on it. This place is a pill hustling zoo run by thugs who aren't working any kind of observable program, just flexing like they're on the street. Stay away from this place and get real help anywhere else.

I was here in April til June 17th. This facility helped me alot. My counselor Melanie was really good. The techs were great especially Dave. Nurse Raven was the most caring, understanding, and kind person I've ever met. Dylan set me up with an oxford house and it has been awesome. A few techs, and counselors there need to be more understanding and patient with addicts not cause more stress to people already going through alot. I won't name names, but 1 counselor there pissed me off, so whenever he ran group I would just leave and stand in the hallway. He was rude and disrespectful and acted like he didn't care. I am 120 days clean and sober today. Food was ok, rooms were good, but I did not like being locked out of them for most of the day. They only ran about 3 groups a day, which I feel isn't enough. Also facilities I have been to in the past always had community cigarettes for everyone especially people that have nothing. State run facility that we all know is raking in a ton of money should have community cigarettes. I've been in nicer facilities, but this place helped me in a different way.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that Melanie, Dave, Nurse Raven, and Dylan were able to support you positively during your time here.

This center is most certainly one of the best centers I have gone to. The staff actually cares about you and the other patients there are usually very cool. There are some who aren't obviously. However the place is very lenient and will tend to your needs the best they can. Food is what you would expect of course, yet you can always ask for an extra bag of chips or a drink if they have what you're looking for. Overall what I'm saying is if you truly want to be clean and have the support and stability in your life you need. This is the place to go to. God bless everyone who goes here and needs the help!Edit: If you decide to go here and you smoke cigarettes, make sure you bring more then 2 or 3 packs depending on how often you smoke. You'll have more outside breaks then you expect. Even if you don't smoke you can still go out for the fresh air.
