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.

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

Clients often enter inpatient rehab following detox, but they may also enroll during early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient rehabs provide housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Clients typically receive multiple individual, group, and/or family therapy sessions weekly. Many programs also offer extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative inpatient rehabs provide holistic therapies as well.

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.

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.

24-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

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.

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.

Worst hospital experience!!! First the woman at the registration was very rude. She asked if my son was a female or a male and I said boy(unconscious I said it) and she said in a loud Tone it's a ((((boy)))? That was very unprofessional and rude. As I was already struggling with my situation she didn't needed to add this embarrassment. I felt awful....On top I waited for two hours and I've never was seen. A lot of people we're complaining about the long wait.Definitely not going to this hospital anymoreThis happened1/7/25 around 8:30pm

My mother was taken by ambulance with shortness of breath fever severe dehydration and she is a heart patient with A fib. She arrived by ambulance on oxygen and I am currently still in the waiting room after eight and half hours. Did I mention my mom is 77 years old. They had her x ray and blood results after 1 and half hours but will not talk to us. Don t bring your loved one to this hospital cause they could die in the waiting room and I am not kidding. She is sitting in a chair for almost 9 hours

Shesha Desai's, Diabetes Training Center at RWJ-Hamilton Hospital provided me with an excellent choice of information available through charts, brochures, handouts and diet plans in order for me to cope with my diabetic disease. I highly recommend Shesha who is an experienced and educated trainer whose professional guidance helped me greatly with my personal struggles dealing with diabetes.

This is the worse hospital I ve ever been in!! Waited in the ER for over 5 hours and wasn t even seen. People were leaving left and right. The waiting room was dirty the employees were just sitting around on their phones. It s pathetic. Do not go there save yourself the time and headache. They have screens that say they were voted best in 2023 etc. no clue how that s even possible. What a shame.

I was admitted to the ICU for a few days, and they took excellent care of me. All the staff were very professional. In particular, nurses Ellie and Shanon were extremely caring, compassionate, and helpful at all times. Unfortunately, I ve forgotten the name of the staff member who cared for me on the first critical day, but they were also very attentive. Additionally, the staff in the ER were very professional. They identified my serious condition within 30 minutes of my admission and provided excellent care throughout the day before transferring me to the ICU. Cynthia was very friendly and compassionate. The person who handled the MRI scan was also very kind and professional.
