About Summit Oaks Hospital

Summit Oaks Hospital is a substance use and mental health treatment facility on Prospect Street in Summit, New Jersey. They offer treatment for dual diagnosis and substance use, including a dedicated adult detoxification program.

The center accepts insurance from many major companies including Aetna, Cigna, and BlueCross BlueShield. They also take TRICARE, Medicaid and Medicare. Even if your insurer isn’t in network they can usually work with them and offer you a few payment options.

The detox program is for adults 18 and up and is for both alcohol and drugs. The detox program starts with a comprehensive evaluation and substance use assessment. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) during detox if necessary.

Medications can ease your withdrawal symptoms and make detox more comfortable. Withdrawal symptoms are different for each person depending on your body and the type of substances you’ve been using. Some common withdrawal symptoms are anxiety, nausea, and insomnia.

While in the program, you’ll take part in a therapeutic daily schedule. The schedule includes goals, processing, and addiction groups after breakfast. You’ll also attend 12-step groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). After lunch, you’ll get some outside time and fresh air.

In the afternoon, you’ll have time for therapeutic activities like yoga, sports and relaxation therapy. There’s also a performance group that engages in drama therapy. Drama therapy uses role-playing to help you understand and empathize with other people’s emotions and thoughts. They also have pet, music, art, and leisure therapies all of which help you develop healthy habits and activities to cope with life’s stressors.

You’ll have a healthy dinner around 5:00 p.m. followed by some leisure time and a wrap-up group around 7:00 p.m. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in an AA or NA meeting at 8:00 p.m. for an hour before calling it a day. Once you’re through with the detox program, you’ll meet with your treatment team to determine what further treatment options will be best for your rehab.
