Admissions Made Simple at Legacy Healing New Jersey
Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or someone you love, our New Jersey admissions specialists make getting help comfortable, personal, and easy to navigate.
Why Choose Legacy Healing New Jersey
Most people reach out to us during a moment they never expected to face. One New Jersey mother told our team she sat in her car for twenty minutes before finally dialing our number. When she did, she didn’t get a recording or a checklist, she reached a real person who listened, calmed her fears, and walked her through the first step.
That’s how every admissions experience is built here: human, steady, and genuinely supportive.
Our Admissions Process
Reach Out
When you call or submit our confidential admission form, you’re immediately connected with a trained specialist. No long waits, no automated loops. Here’s what happens during this first contact:
- We listen to your story and understand what prompted you to reach out.
- We ask a few simple questions about current symptoms, substances used, mental health concerns, and living situation.
- We explain the types of care available and answer any questions about cost, insurance, length of stay, or what treatment is like
Clinical Assessment
The assessment ensures your care plan is medically appropriate and tailored specifically to you. This step helps us determine the exact level of care you need, and our assessment process involves:
- A brief substance use history (pattern, frequency, duration).
- Past treatment experiences.
- Mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.).
- Medical conditions and medications.
- Safety considerations (withdrawal risks, self-harm concerns, etc.).
You don’t need to prepare anything; we guide you through every question.
Insurance Verification & Financial Planning
This is usually the most confusing part for families, so we take it off your shoulders.
Our team handles everything:
- Contacting your insurance provider directly.
- Reviewing benefits and explaining them in simple language.
- Confirming what levels of care are covered.
- Checking for deductibles, co-pays, or out-of-pocket estimates.
- Providing financial options if you’re uninsured or have limited coverage.
Planning Your Stay
This is where we often see relief set in, everything starts feeling real, understandable, and manageable. Once your admission is approved, we help you prepare for arrival. This includes:
- Coordinating your admission date and time.
- Offering travel support for out-of-area clients.
- Preparing your room and informing your treatment team.
Sending you a “What to Expect on Day One” outline.
What to Pack
We send a final approved list of what you can bring for admission before, so nothing feels last-minute. We keep it simple and provide a checklist, such as:
Bring:
- Comfortable clothing for 7–10 days
- Casual shoes, gym shoes
- Weather-appropriate outerwear
- Toiletries (alcohol-free)
- Prescription medications (in original bottles)
- Insurance card and ID
- Contact list of important family members
- Journal, books, or comfort items (within guidelines)
Arrival & Beginning Treatment
Your arrival day is designed to feel calm and welcoming. Within the first 24 hours, you begin settling into treatment, supported by clinicians who already understand your needs from the earlier assessment. Here’s what typically happens:
- You’re greeted by admissions or nursing staff upon arrival.
- A brief medical check-in ensures safety and stability.
- Your belongings are reviewed for safety (standard US protocol).
- You meet your primary therapist and case manager.
- You’re oriented to your schedule, room, and group times.

My experience so far has been nothing short of amazing! I came from a program called Milestone Addiction Treatment center and let me tell you, this place is a breath of fresh air. All of clinical is super friendly, welcoming, as well as punctual and very professional. They make sure to accommodate all your needs such as toiletries, supplies, etc. Melissa, who works at the front desk, is the best. My very first day here she took me in and showed me the ropes and introduced me to some people to make me feel at home. All of the techs are super friendly and will make sure you are a part of the community. Also the facilitators are awesome and taught me more about recovery and addiction in a week than Milestone taught me in 4 months. I could not be more grateful to be a part of this program and a part of his wonderful community of beautiful human beings. Thank you Legacy!!!
My favorite facilitator here is Mark. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He tells you how it is, and hits to the heart how addiction really affects you.
The groups are organized, effective and worth your time here. There’s no other treatment center that has literally - key word: been “transformative” for me. I’m walking away from here with so much knowledge and wisdom that I don’t think I would’ve got anywhere else.
If you’re contemplating coming to Legacy, do it! You won’t regret it.
This is Tony - signing off.
Legacy Cherry Hill - the best treatment center I’ve ever been to. 5 stars. A+. 100%.
Love Tony.
P.S - the first person you’ll ever meet at the front desk is no other than the beautiful Melissa M. You’ll love it here!
Go Legacy!
Paul was an incredible therapist whose compassion, honesty, and insight helped me do real work on myself. He challenged me when I needed it and supported me when I was struggling. The tools he gave me stayed with me long after I left. Even though he is no longer there, I will always be grateful for his guidance and the impact he made on my life.
Hannah was incredible at helping me with everything I needed, especially when things became hectic and it was time for me to move on. She helped me address my health issues and set me up for success in ways I will always appreciate.
Kurt had a gift for offering insights that opened my mind. His perspective helped me grow and see things differently. I truly miss his groups.
Miss Karen was one of the most comforting parts of my daily routine. She had a way of being both encouraging and steady, and I knew I could count on her whenever I needed a hug or a safe place to breathe.
Brittany was a positive light every single day. She carried herself with a calm and steady presence that helped keep the entire environment peaceful. Her encouragement and consistency made a real difference.
Bob was someone I truly looked up to. His groups made everyone feel valued and safe. He had a way of helping people open up that made real healing possible. His encouragement made me believe that I could actually do this.
Glorious was someone I could talk to about my faith and knew it would be met with understanding and encouragement. His support meant more to me than he may ever know.
Farrah was an amazing group facilitator who did a great job explaining the disease of addiction and helping us make real connections. Her presence and the clarity she brought to difficult topics made a strong impact on my journey.
Phyllis,y my psych doctor, was absolutely wonderful. She listened to everything I had going on, made thoughtful and appropriate medication decisions, adjusted things when needed, and supported me through incredibly difficult moments. She was uplifting, steady, and genuinely cared about my well being. I will always appreciate her.
I also want acknowledge the alumni staff, highlighting Dennis, Isabella, Bri, and Amanda. (Even though Amanda is no longer at Legacy, she was such an important part of my journey that I cannot leave her out.)The alumni staff checked on me long after I left and were constants in my life even when I was struggling. I always knew I could reach out to them, even in my worst moments. Their consistency, compassion, and genuine dedication have saved my life and the lives of countless others many times over.
There were many other techs, facilitators, and staff members who supported me every day. Not mentioning them by name here is only because of my memory and time. Multiple people have since left Legacy or no longer work there, but they were all part of my healing and growth. I am thankful for every single one of them.
This place is filled with people who truly care, and I would not be where I am today without their support.
