  • Access open or free behavioral health counseling or contact New Jersey 2-1-1.
  • Find an extroverted activity— experience the arts and culture, beaches, golfing, history, and outdoor sports and recreation.
  • Avoid risky situations that lead to relapse, such as social gatherings where drugs are present.

TIPS: If you want to help someone

  • Refer them to local resources through DRS or the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Addiction Services.
  • Be aware of overdose risks—resources available through the KnowAddiction program in New Jersey.
  • Assessment and screening are vital tools. These resources are available through the New Jersey Department of Human Services.
  • Consider hiring a professional interventionist and planning a family intervention to help the addict.
  • Avoid enabling anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Long-Term Rehab in New Jersey

We believe at DRS that long-term treatment is the most effective approach to overcoming an addiction to alcohol and drugs. There are many reasons why we believe this – here are some of them:

  • Long-term programs in New Jersey allow a person more time to build sober relationships and networks, which can help them through treatment and after.
  • Various treatment methodologies can be used with all the time provided during the program, including the twelve-step method, holistic therapy, and faith-based treatment.
  • Another benefit of long-term treatment is that it provides 24/7 supervision & medical support for its residents. This way, if any help is needed, it can be provided swiftly.
  • Aftercare support is often offered after the completion of the program to help the person maintain sobriety.

Regardless of the different issues a person might be facing in their life, there is a treatment program out there for them in New Jersey. Consult our directory above or contact one of our counselors if you require assistance.

Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics

Paying for Treatment in New Jersey

The cost of treatment in New Jersey will vary depending on many factors, such as length of treatment, the type of treatment, and if detox is needed. But perhaps the most important factor in establishing the financial burden of treatment to an individual is if they have health insurance coverage. Without it, they may be stuck paying cash as the only option.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in New Jersey

By covering the cost, Medicaid can make it possible for someone to attend treatment in New Jersey. To obtain Medicaid, the person must apply and provide income documentation demonstrating financial hardship. Even though many people addicted to drugs qualify for Medicaid, they don’t always go through the process of obtaining it. More than 2 million residents of New Jersey have some form of Medicaid coverage.

Using Private Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab in New Jersey

Private insurance is obtained during certain enrollment periods throughout the year. People must purchase private health insurance and pay the premiums regularly to keep it active. Those who struggle with substance use often don’t have private health insurance.

Unfortunately, many people cannot qualify for Medicaid yet without the financial means to obtain private health insurance. Thankfully, New Jersey has accepted federal funding to expand its Medicaid program so more people can become eligible. It includes access to discounted policies by participating private insurance providers.

The following insurers are available through the New Jersey Health Insurance Marketplace 2023 Guide:

  • AmeriHealth
  • Horizon Healthcare Services
  • Oscar Health
  • Ambetter from WellCare of New Jersey
  • Aetna

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

Those who need substance use treatment often have no insurance to help them pay. And waiting to start treatment until they can get onto an insurance plan is not only risky but will likely be unsuccessful. Getting started on a new insurance plan can take quite some time. They usually won’t cover major expenses like treatment until the policy has been continuously maintained for a year.

The good news is that numerous programs in the state offer sliding scale options. A sliding scale means that depending on a person’s income, they can be eligible for a reduced rate. The cost may be split into several installments to make it even easier to afford so the person can begin quickly. For more information on paying for treatment, you can reach out to one of the treatment specialists at DRS. or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of Drug Rehab in New Jersey

There are a significant number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in New Jersey. Most of these facilities are private for-profit or non-profit centers. There is only a small percentage operated at the state or local level.

However, over half of the programs accept Medicaid or private health insurance. In addition, many of them take state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid or a sliding fee scale for payment. Our experts recommend contacting more than one program. Find out what payment options they offer. Also, contact your Medicaid office or health insurance provider to determine precisely what is covered.

Regarding the selection of facilities, only a small percentage provide residential care, and the majority offer outpatient options. Residential drug rehab remains the best option. Yet, detoxification options are abundant.

More Information

Michael Leach is a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, who has over 5 years of experience working in the field of addiction. He spent his career working under the board-certified Addictionologist Dr. Rohit Adi. His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.
