The Renaissance House leaves a bittersweet memory in my mind. The living conditions are horrendous. What happens is if you complain or try and do anything about the living environment and issues within the program, you are basically threatened to lose your child. The program begins to mess with you and find reasons to get dyfs against you. I lived there in the winter with my newborn with no heat. My baby would shiver all through the night. All the children were constantly sick and with respiratory infections. I caught pneumonia while in the program and was expected to go to groups after 2 days. I was still severely sick but my fever had leveled out with the medicine I was on. Without a fever at NRH, you're not considered sick and are not allowed to go to a doctor. My baby was terribly sick as a newborn and didn't eat for going on 3 days. He had a high fever which leveled out with tylenol. He was still throwing up, not eating and miserable. NRH denied my child hospital care. They refused to allow him to go. When I pushed the subject, they called dyfs on me and told them that I was acting out and acting irrational around my baby. Children in this program do not receive the medical attention needed and it's sad. Mothers are afraid to push past a certain point because they fear losing their child to dyfs. Not to mention, the substance abuse treatment is limited and rarely worked on. The most treatment I received from the program was outside NA meetings, which are available outside of a program. This program has potential but needs a lot of changes with staff. And a new building for the women. There was a lot of things I could say that's corrupt that happened, but all I truly care about is the health and safety of those babies.
Very horrible place. When I was there they had numerous cases of scabies and mersa and all they said to us residents was "everyone will be ok just don't touch anyone" All of the children there constantly had respiratory infections due to our living conditions. I was pregnant when I was there and hated it
This place is the worst place on Earth to go to if you are looking for addiction treatment. I went here thinking myself "if this is anything like the last facility I was in 2 years ago then it won't be that bad".....it was literally a nightmare. Liz Barone & Leetasha Cruz have absolutely no idea what they are doing & have no idea how to work as a team. My DCP&P caseworker came in to discuss issues going on with my child & myself because there were so many problems I was calling her everyday & Liz Barone refused to answer her questions & Leetasha Cruz actually looking herself in her office & pretended like she wasn't even there. My child was so sick with oxygen saturation levels ranging in the 80's & I had to beg staff to call 911 because they are told they need permission to do so. This place is so scary & so unsafe for the children. Please please go anywhere else but here. I feel like I have been mentally damaged from going to this place. I don't even know how to correctly interact with people now that I am back in the "real world". I just learned more bad habits. This place needs to be either shut down or new people need to be sitting in the higher up positions. It's really sad that a treatment facility could teach more bad habits than good.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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
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.
Clinical Services
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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
