Drug Rehab Centers in Sicklerville, New Jersey

The staff at liberty wellness were super nice and understanding and knowledgeable when it comes to recovery. They made me feel very comfortable when I first got sober. I m still sober so the tools they gave work.

I am a student here and it's a really nice school for special needs and etc

People who end up here usually have a traumatized, abused "base" of a brain. I have been dealing with drug induced Schizoaffective disorder bipolar type with PTSD since 2011 and I've had my fair share of hospitalizations throughout NJ. I've also tried different remedies for mental health including TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), neurofeedback, Ketamine, talk therapy, etc and this place is just another manifestation of the need to treat people who are non-violent but on the brink of being a threat. I was at Northbrook maybe 5-6 times throughout my mental health career and each time is pretty much rigorously consistent. The place is riddled with preventative measures against hurting yourself or others and although it is locked down pretty heavily, there are a few things that are implemented to address most patients becoming stir crazy, including going outside every day twice a day. I will say the food is highly processed and mostly unhealthy. I've stayed at other places that have more nutritional meals where I didn't gain 40 pounds like I did at Northbrook. The staff is mostly composed of techs whose sole job it is to hold down patients if they're demonstrating even the least bit of instability. You have to realize that this place is pretty old, so the staff is worn out and deals with irrational, incoherent, and drug abused patients. They are human too and more than likely a lot of them are themselves on medication for anxiety and various other mental health states. That's how much they believe in medicine and therapy is that they themselves will take part in it. However, with that being said I do feel like this place can improve in several different aspects. Food and nutrition being one of them, but also implementing different treatments such as neurofeedback. I spent over $10,000 (money I got from a lawsuit related to my illness) on neurofeedback. That's 120 sessions of a therapy that is designed to treat ADHD, mood, autism, and addiction. My IQ has also gone up by over 10 points and I'm going back to school for my masters degree in computer engineering. This place has potential to be better than it is, but like I said, the people here don't have a solid "base" of a brain. Neurofeedback addresses this core cognition and makes it so that underlying irrationalities such as fears, jealousies, angers, and other types of anxieties are polished and smoothened out. If Northbrook and other mental health hospitals implemented a more modern, digital-aged approach to treatments such as neurofeedback, people would actually give this place good reviews. The logistics of having unstable patients who might not comply with the technicalities of neurofeedback would have to be ironed out. Other than that Northbrook is shaped by the people that are hospitalized there, hence the rap music preferences during group art and music therapies. Patients have been traumatized and are struggling with their core cognition that I don't think the obvious medication solely addresses. I will say that the art therapists, music therapists, addiction therapists, psychiatrists, doctors and the higher level staff are all mentally healthy and provide good counseling, advice, and are generally friendly and helpful. But a lot of patients here are addicted to drugs, have unstable homes, if at all, are homeless, and are generally socioeconomically disadvantaged. There are only so many things staff can do before the demands and attitudes of the patients become intolerable. If you're nice, they're nice. 3-4 weeks of inpatient stay is uncomfortable. I called it Hell Week for a reason. No disrespect to the Navy Seals, but mostly your stay is shaped by the actual patients. Not the staff. There are some seriously messed up cases that come to Northbrook, so the overall stigma and reputation that a patient gets is, admittedly negative. Patients are generally treated the same with utmost caution and to the highest level of preventative measures. This is why it gets so many negative reviews.

Great place for recovery! They have child care if you need it and possible transportation. They also have services for domestic violence. I wish I would have came sooner. Best counseling I've ever gotten. If you need help I highly recommend them.

Transferring from the Camden Clinic, my first initial visit, I have to say that overall I had an Excellent Visit! Everyone was very Friendly, Caring and very Professional! I was very happy with my transfer! Looking forward coming back!

The Camden county partnership is awesome for the community

My experience with Ms. Nazario has helped me clarify issues that have changed my life. I have recommended her services to several friends. She is compassionate and kind.

I Love Staff members ! My Favorite friend Resident James(Jimmy)Patrick Logue
