How to Choose a Detox in New Jersey

Medical Detox Options
Choosing a New Jersey Detox

At first, choosing a detox in New Jersey can seem overwhelming. There are so many options to choose from — how do you know which detox center will best meet all of your personal needs? When it comes to choosing a detox there are several important factors to consider. You want to make sure the detox you choose focuses on more than physical stabilization. For many, medical detox is only the first step on the road to recovery. In order for sobriety to be maintained, a person needs to undergo treatment once they have gone through drug or alcohol withdrawal. Because of this, choosing a detox center that helps with rehab placement is often ideal. At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center we offer a highly individualized and integrated detox program in Monmouth County, New Jersey. We prioritize the unique clinical and medical needs of each individual client while actively preparing them for the remainder of their personal recovery journey.

What are Your Detox Goals & Needs?

When looking for the best detox center in New Jersey for you, it is a good idea to consider what you really hope to get out of the process. Are you simply looking to minimize the discomfort associated with drug and alcohol withdrawal, or are you hoping to begin a journey of long-term sobriety, ultimately working towards a life of fulfilling and easily maintained recovery? At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center we specialize in providing each and every one of our clients with the support and resources they need to maintain continued success in sobriety once they have been physically stabilized. For many of our clients, medical detox is only the first step on a multi-phased journey of addiction recovery. When choosing the best detox for you, we encourage you to ask yourself the following questions:

• Does the detox center specialize in treating withdrawal symptoms associated with the kind of substance(s) I was using?
• Does the detox offer additional addiction services like case management, therapeutic care and holistic treatment options?
• Does the detox offer dual diagnosis services?
• Does the detox offer medication assisted treatment options?
• Does the detox center offer personalized aftercare planning services?
• Does the detox center accept my health insurance?
• If I am not currently insured through a regional provider in New Jersey or a major national provider, does the detox offer additional coverage options like self-pay and private pay?
• Will I have to wait a long time to be admitted, or can the facility admit me immediately?
• Will the detox center help me make a smooth transition into the next appropriate level of care, whether that is inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization or outpatient treatment?
• Does the detox offer focused and individualized care, or do they treat all of their clients the same way regardless of personal backgrounds and history with substance use?

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Detox in New Jersey:

Inpatient vs Outpatient Detox

When choosing a medical detox in New Jersey, it is important to look for an inpatient detox center as opposed to a detox offering outpatient services. Benefits of inpatient detox include:

• You have 24/7 access to professional medical care, meaning withdrawal symptoms can be effectively treated as soon as they develop.
• Vitals are checked regularly to ensure physical health remains stable.
• You are in a secure and closely monitored facility, meaning the risk of returning to drug or alcohol use is reduced significantly.
• Clients who have been struggling with an opioid use disorder have access to effective MAT options. We utilize Suboxone and/or Subutex, which contain buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is an opioid partial agonist which satisfies the brain’s craving for an opioid and allows a person to avoid severe opioid withdrawal symptoms without producing a high. Suboxone is buprenorphine combined with naloxone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, which blocks the effects of opioids at the receptor sites, making it difficult to abuse. Both Suboxone and Subutex have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat opioid withdrawal. Clients are slowly weaned off of the medication over the course of several days, making the withdrawal process pain-free.
• In addition to standard detoxification methods like medication assisted treatment, you have access to individual, group and family therapy sessions, case management services and personalized aftercare planning.
• You are living (short-term) in a facility designed with client comfort in mind, and you have access to a range of comfort-based amenities geared towards making your detox experience as positive as possible.
• Daily, chef-prepared meals are provided, and clients have 24-hour access to a fully stocked kitchen, promoting a faster return to physical health through adequate nutrition.

Choose a Licensed New Jersey Detox

At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center we have received several of the highest possible certifications a medical detox center can receive, along with comprehensive licensing from the State of New Jersey. We have received:

• The Joint Commission Seal of Approval – Princeton Detox & Recovery Center has received Joint Commission accreditation, the highest accreditation a medical detox center can receive. This means we consistently hold ourselves to the highest possible standards, providing each individual client with effective and personalized detox services.
• Licensing through the State of New Jersey and the Department of Health and Human Services – Being licensed through the State confirms we are strictly adhering to all clinical and medical standards, and we follow all of the guidelines outlined by the State in the context of the medical detoxification services we provide.
• LegitScript Certification – Being LegitScript-certified means that an addiction treatment facility has been evaluated and certified to operate safely and legally. LegitScript also performs ongoing monitoring throughout an addiction treatment provider’s certification period to ensure compliance. The LegitScript seal displays “LegitScript Monitored” to reflect ongoing monitoring and can be found on multiple pages throughout our website.

Pick a New Jersey Recovery Hub for Detox

As part of the Guardian Recovery Network, we work directly with inpatient rehabs and intensive outpatient treatment programs in New Jersey, and our case managers help each individual client transition into the next appropriate level of clinical care based on their needs. Princeton New Jersey is also home to many recovery meeting houses, a network of incredible therapists with backgrounds in substance dependency, and countless sober activities to participate in.

Insurance & Costs

When looking for a detox center in New Jersey consider how you are going to cover costs. Reputable detox centers, including Princeton Detox & Recovery Center, work closely with most major regional and national health insurance providers. If you are currently insured there is a good chance some — or all — of the treatment services we provide are either covered partially or in full. We offer free, no obligation insurance benefit check — contact us today to begin. We also offer self-pay and private pay options for those who are uninsured or underinsured.

Private vs Public Detox Centers in New Jersey

Entering into a state-funded detox facility can be tricky. You might end up waiting weeks or months for a bed to open up, and once it finally does you receive the same, standardized treatment options as everyone else — with little to no focus placed on follow-up care. For these reasons we recommend choosing a private detox center in New Jersey like Princeton Detox & Recovery Center. Benefits of private detox include:

• One-on-one care with a licensed medical practitioner, an individual therapist and a psychiatric professional.
• More focused and individualized treatment options which take your unique, personal needs into careful account.
• A combination of evidence-based detox services including medication assisted treatment, intensive behavioral therapy, psychiatric care and holistic treatment options.
• Comfortable, homestyle retreat accommodations including private and semi-private bedrooms, well-appointed common areas and a spacious kitchen and dining area.
• Case management and aftercare planning services which make the transition from detox into the next appropriate level of care easy and stress-free.
