TRICARE In-NetworkWhat happens after 30 days of treatment?
Case managers at Still Detox New Jersey arrange a complete step-down plan before discharge: PHP referrals, sober-living placement, primary-care coordination and medication continuity. There is no on-site outpatient program at the Mays Landing facility; all step-down care is coordinated with external providers through a national referral network.
Discharge planning is not an afterthought. Case managers begin assessing step-down needs during the first 48 hours of admission, including geographic preferences, insurance coverage for outpatient care, housing stability and family support systems.
The national referral network connects clients with PHP and IOP programs, sober-living environments and outpatient providers in their home community. Case managers verify that the receiving provider accepts the client's insurance before making the referral.
Does Still Detox New Jersey offer outpatient treatment?
No. Still Detox New Jersey does not operate an on-site outpatient program. The Mays Landing facility provides medical detox and residential treatment. All PHP, IOP and outpatient referrals are made to external providers.
This is a deliberate clinical decision. Residential treatment at a secluded 33-acre campus serves a different purpose than outpatient treatment in a client's home community. Case managers match each client with an outpatient provider geographically and clinically appropriate for their needs.
What does the aftercare plan include?
Every aftercare plan at Still Detox New Jersey includes PHP or IOP placement, sober-living referrals when indicated, primary-care coordination and medication continuity.
Core components of the discharge plan:
- PHP or IOP referral to a licensed program in the client's home community
- Sober-living placement when stable housing is not available
- Primary-care physician coordination with medication reconciliation
- Psychiatric follow-up and prescription transfers
- AA, NA and mutual-aid meeting schedules in the client's zip code
- Family contact and support-system briefing before discharge
Are AA and NA meetings available during treatment?
Yes. H&I (Hospitals and Institutions) volunteers bring AA and NA meetings on site at Still Detox New Jersey during residential treatment.
Clients participate in 12-step meetings on campus as part of the residential schedule. Case managers also compile meeting schedules for the client's home zip code and include them in the discharge packet. Participation in mutual-aid groups is encouraged but not mandated.
