The staff was very pleasant and professional. Clearly the mammogram dept needs an additional tech. A wait of over 35 minutes is unacceptable and asks the question of why women go elsewhere.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

My father in law was in the hospital and my mother In law wanted to go see him, so we took her up to the hospital. She can t walk that good, and she s bound and determined to walk to his room and not get into a wheelchair. So I was trying to find a quicker route to get to his room from the parking lot because he was in the Lake Front Tower near the D parking lot. I noticed there was an entrance by the cafe area and right by his room, but it says Physician and Staff entrance. I was trying to get my mother in law closer and noticed there was an entrance with an elevator there. I then went to the doors trying to get in and noticed you needed a keycard to get inside. Make sense to this you making this easy for your workers and not your visitors. Your patience and visitors are keeping this hospital going and this hospital doesn t even care about the ones paying the bills just the workers. I don t get it why would you make it easier for the workers. I think the hospital needs to reevaluate their parking situation for all visitors and not just the workers. Why would the workers need to use an elevator doctors and staff can take the stairs I don t care how much you are paying them. The patience and visitors need to be treated way better. With being able to get to their loved ones.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important to us, and we will share with the appropriate team members at RWJUH Hamilton for follow up. We also invite you to reach out to our Patient Experience team by phone at 609-584-6550 to further discuss off line.

I have been seen by Dr. Rachana Singh and her staff for five years. They prepared me for and were so kind and compassionate during four weeks of daily (weekdays only) radiation. Yesterday I was released from their care. Dr. Singh said if I ever needed her again, to just call. Ellen, the nurse, was very informative and concerned and nice to chat with about my health, our families and our Phillies!!!

This review is for the Cardiac Catheterization Lab (CATH LAB) at RWJ Hamilton Hospital. This is where angiogram and angioplasty procedures are performed for the analysis and treatment of the arteries of the heart. This is an absolutely amazing facility with highly educated Interventional Cardiologists and supportive staff of nurses and PCTs. When deciding to bring my father here for treatment, I struggled in finding Reviews of this facility on Google or Yelp (there are many reviews for RWJ Hamilton in general, but nothing that talks about this particular 'state of the art' CATH LAB). Hence I'm writing this review for the benefit of others. Below are a few points of feedback from our experience:1. The cleanliness and hygiene are very impressive. Needless to say, a very sterile environment is important for any procedure related to the heart. Please note that the Cath Lab is a very sterile environment where only the patient and doctors/nurses can enter. Family is not allowed in there. My father was highly impressed by the level of hygiene in the lab.2. All the support staff was friendly, kind, and more then willing to explain what is going on. They deal with their patients with a lot of compassion. A special thank you to Erica, Steph, Lori, Tai-Quon, and Karen.3. Probably the most important point - The doctors are highly skilled and are willing to give the time to their patients. After the procedure, Dr. Shakil Shaikh spent a lot of time with my family explaining everything and answering all our questions. There is no doubt he is a highly skilled Interventional Cardiologist. My father also mentioned how comfortable Dr. Shakil Shaikh made him during the procedure.4. Prior to the procedure, I had some last-minute concerns and I left a message on the voicemail of the "on-call" doctor. Both Dr. Marie Bernardo and Dr. Ronald Ryder called me back promptly and answered all my questions with a lot of patience.5. Last but not least, Dr. Arpit Patel, who is my father's cardiologist, guided us very well. He recommended my father to get the Coronary Calcium Scan which revealed that we will need an angiogram. He is a highly educated, honest, friendly, and very dependable cardiologist.All in all, a very pleasant experience.

World s WORST hospital! Worse than you could never imagine! I had a migraine headache back in 2012, went to ER of this horrible place. I was so in pain that I vomitted when I was waiting forever. Then the ER receptionist yelled to me: if you can t be quiet, I will call police! . I am at Capital Health Hopewell for my son s appendicitis. What I have seen here Vs what I went through @ RWJ Hamilton is like heaven Vs bloody hell!!! I wish I could have sued RWJ for $100B back then!!! NEVER EVER use RWJ Hamilton if you care about your life, folks. SHAME ON YOU, RWJ Hamilton

I wish I could give 0 stars to this place. My grandpa came in with seizures a right hip pain and the ER treated us very poorly. Of course we were just worried about our loved one and it was a chore for them to do any work. We rang the call bell multiple times and no one would come and if they would it is with very rude attitude. Iris the tech and Vanessa the nurse were not caring people at all. Giving a lot of attitude that was unnecessary and not providing good care. They wanted to get my grandpa up and he could have broken something and the main reason we came to the hospital was because he couldn t get up so why would we try to walk him. Very stupid things they would ask. These people should not be in healthcare.
