Newark Beth Israel Medical Center

About Newark Beth Israel Medical Center

Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is a hospital and part of RWJBarnabas Health that helps people overcome substance addiction in Newark, New Jersey. They have inpatient medical detox and outpatient treatment for adults, seniors, and kids. They accept private insurance, Medicare, and self pay. Financial assistance is available.

They provide assessment and triage for psychiatric and addiction related emergencies. They also have specialized services for people with co-occurring addiction and mental illness.Age specific programs, including programs for seniors, are available.

Through their comprehensive treatment approach, they tackle a wide range of mental illnesses. This includes suicidal ideation, PTSD, and contributing or compensatory behaviors like drinking and substance misuse.

Beyond immediate crisis intervention, medication assisted treatment (MAT), recovery education, and therapy sessions round out their services. They also have a complete continuum of care to evolve with your changing needs.

You can step down from inpatient care to their intensive outpatient (IOP) services once you’re medically stable and are ready to return to your home, workplace, and community. These programs require a weekly commitment and regular attendance.

Sometimes people turn to drugs or drinking after experiencing a loss or grief in their lives. I like that they prioritize mental and emotional recovery after a significant life event because this can often help patients refocus and move forward once again into a healthy, happy, and dependency free future.

I don t usually write reviews, but I am writing this review in hopes that no other family has to go through what we did. My father was admitted to the emergency room with a chronic lung rejection and needed oxygen. While he was being taken for a test, they forgot to turn on the oxygen, causing his oxygen levels to drop significantly. He was visibly suffering. Once he was finally admitted to a room, the care on floor 4A was extremely disappointing. The nurses were lazy, slow to administer his medication, and when I asked for help, they would dismiss my requests, saying he s not my patient.My father went in just for a test, but the care was so poor that he ended up in hospice. Less than a week later, I lost my father. Maybe it was his time, but I strongly believe that this hospital could have done much more to prevent his suffering and provide better care. I hope this review serves as a warning to others, and that the hospital addresses these issues so no one else has to experience what my family went through.

It was a really traumatic experience. My daughter was born in the hospital bathroom. I felt a certain degree of hostility in the treatment and a bit of discrimination. They told me that they would apply the epidural at 12am. They left me alone with my partner until 3:30 when my daughter was born. daughter since we called the nurses minutes before and they didn't pay any attention to me

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Inpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Aftercare Support

Clients in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient and are medically stable. These programs are designed to address addiction recovery as a life-long process. Outpatient counseling and recovery education are typically categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive support after being discharged from formal outpatient treatment. Case managers and recovery teams facilitate clients' access to peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program induction, and related services.

12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs engage in a rigorous process of personal growth as a cornerstone of long-term recovery. They are expected to attend anonymous, peer-led 12 step meetings, which are free, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not required. Self-selected peer sponsors mentor participants as they work through the 12 steps, learning forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and accountability.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

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

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The absolute worst hospital you can go to , I went to the emergency room for a possible ulcer in my stomach and waited 8 hours and I left untreated , I couldn t see a doctor for another 2 hours on top of 8 hours, and was chest X-rayd when that was even the issue , I came for my stomach

Girl Code

I know everybody uses that line "I wish i can put 0 stars" but it fits perfectly here. This hospital is the worst hospital Ive ever been too.My 1 year old son was admitted to thewith rsv and croup.During our stay here we were completely neglected.He was having trouble breathing ! You will think the doctors and nurses would of been more attentive but not even in the slightest!Just a few examplesYour nurse and doctors when you need to find them are no where to be found, u have to walk the floor looking for help.I asked for whole milk [They had none ]So they gave me sol milk [fine]I ask for the milk at 6am and didnt get anything until 1:33pm !!! I asked so many timesMy son was coughing alot and i was nervous and asked a nurse for help , she said she will come never showed up , i had to walk around begging for assistanceTo get any information is pulling teeth.!And then Everyone tells you different information noones on the same pageThe doctors will tell you one thing and completely forget about you.They go hours not checking on my son who was on oxygen for support!My son eats food we didnt start recieving food until i asked for it . They expected my son not to eat or drink anything ?The patient care neglect is insane.Sign says every hour during the day and every other hour at night . Straight lies they will be noone checking on you or your child expecially at night . From 12am-6am your abandon or have to ask like "hey can someone check my sons temp he is really hot [fever ended up being 103.7] " and they didnt show up to check for 3 hours !Just the worse . Go somewhere else for the sake of yourself and your loved ones

My brother came into this hospital talking, they drilled my brother all over and then said he had no use anymore. I believe they turned off my brother's oxygen to finish killing him, today we are in enormous pain, my brother was only 47 years old.Don't trust the head of the Intensive Unit. It is she who decides whether to let her loved one live.

Im a patient thats on the LUNG Transplant list. So I deal with the Lung Team on 4L. And what a wonderful team they are. But I want to show love to one young lady that it's always good to see and that's ANNIKAI GOMES she's a Phlebotomist on 4L. Very friendly and professional. It's where if she isn't there I don't want to give blood. SHE IS VERY VERY GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. If I could give here 10 stars I would.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent experience. We will be sure to share your comments with our team.

Where do I begin!! My mother had several clots in her heart (which we didn't know until we arrived) she was in the hallway waiting for hours in the emergency. Then she was moved to one of the emergency curtain rooms with many others. She hadn't eaten for a whole day. I called and complained that she was 83 and had not eaten since she arrived the day before. In the morning they gave her COLD breakfast. So now it was 2:00pm when I arrived and she still hadn't eaten! I complained and they brought her a meal. 2 people urinated on the floor because no one would listen to them when they called out that they had to relieve themselves. The janitor just wiped the urine with no disinfectant, no mopping just a wipe and go!! One of the nurses took my mother's blood and left the viles behind her bed!!! Which I found. While I'm at the hospital they're attentive. I left and all the above happened. Later in the evening, My mother called me after I left to say she was yelling because she asked 5 people to bring her a pan she had to use the bathroom. Everyone said give me a minute which was 45 minutes later! Again she is 83 years old and they're treating her like this? This was the worst experience my mother had ever had in a hospital. Speaking with someone now about transferring her out of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center! NEVER AGAIN!
