Paying for rehab in New Brunswick
Which New Brunswick drug rehab programs take your coverage depends on the plan, but 4 facilities accept private insurance and 3 take Medicaid. Medicaid in New Jersey is accepted at 3 New Brunswick drug rehab centers, and 4 accept private insurance. If Medicaid covers you, ask the facility whether it participates in the network and which prior authorization steps apply. Under federal parity law, most insurance plans must treat behavioral health and addiction care much like medical care, though confirming the specifics with your own plan is wise.
For those without insurance, options are limited: none of the 6 facilities offer sliding-scale fees, so cost may be a barrier.
