What medical conditions does Still Detox New Jersey accept?
Still Detox New Jersey accepts clients with active medical conditions that require nursing-level monitoring alongside substance use treatment.
The facility does not use medical complexity as a blanket exclusion. Each case is evaluated individually during the pre-assessment call. The Medical Director reviews records, confirms the on-site team has the necessary capability and approves or declines admission based on clinical safety.
How does the facility manage high-acuity clients during detox?
High-acuity clients receive the same detox protocol as all clients (vitals every 4 hours, individualized taper schedules and 24/7 nursing) plus condition-specific monitoring tailored to their medical needs.
Private bathrooms are assigned to clients with infectious conditions, surgical wounds or medical devices. The Medical Director coordinates with outside oncologists, hepatologists, infectious disease specialists and other providers as needed. Medication schedules from prior hospitalizations continue without gaps.
Discharge planning for high-acuity clients begins at admission. Case managers arrange follow-up appointments, medication continuity and step-down care that accounts for the medical condition alongside the substance use disorder.
