Selecting the Right Treatment Program in New Jersey
- Demand a Formal ASAM Assessment — Quality programs conduct a comprehensive six-dimensional evaluation before placing any patient at a level of care; this is a clinical standard, not optional
- Evaluate Staff Credentials — Primary therapists should hold LCSW, LPC, or CADC credentials; verify the medical director is a licensed physician with addiction medicine training
- Confirm DMHAS Licensure — Active New Jersey licensure (verify at nj.gov/humanservices/dmhas) is the legal minimum; it enables insurance billing and ensures ongoing regulatory oversight of the facility
- Ask About Evidence-Based Therapies — Programs should integrate CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and/or DBT — not be limited to a single 12-step model without clinical individualization
- Assess the Discharge and Aftercare Plan — Quality programs begin aftercare planning at admission; ask specifically about the step-down pathway and linkage to outpatient services on day one
