Getting to Our Office — By Car
From central Elizabeth (Broad St at Elizabeth Ave): north on Broad St Elizabeth, which continues as Frelinghuysen Ave into Newark — roughly 6 miles, 15–20 minutes. I-78 East is the highway option from western Elizabeth — I-78 E to exit 55 (Route 21 / McCarter Hwy), exit at Raymond Blvd, left on Broad. From the Newark Airport area, Route 1&9 North into Newark's South Ward, then north on Broad St.
Getting to Our Office — By Transit
NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line and North Jersey Coast Line both run Elizabeth Station to Newark Penn Station — 12–15 minutes. Walk 6–10 minutes north on Broad to the office, or take Newark Light Rail one stop to Military Park. NJ Transit bus 40, 42, and 62 also run Elizabeth to downtown Newark.
Why Elizabeth Residents Use a Newark Placement Service
Elizabeth has its own treatment resources, but the best clinical match under a given PPO plan often sits outside Union County. Newark-based placement advisors know the Union, Essex, and Middlesex inpatient markets and the specific networks each plan accesses. NJ Transit from Elizabeth Station to downtown Newark is 12–15 minutes — faster than many intra-Elizabeth routes.
Inpatient Rehab Options for Elizabeth Residents
Placement into licensed inpatient programs across NJ, PA, NY, and out-of-state PPO networks. Most placements begin with medical detox (3–7 days), followed by 28- to 90-day residential care. MAT is offered at many of the programs we refer to. Dual diagnosis tracks for co-occurring anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar are widely available.
Elizabeth's Drug Landscape
Elizabeth shares the greater North Jersey drug supply — fentanyl-adulterated heroin, widespread xylazine contamination (NJ leads the nation in per-capita xylazine drug reports, per JAMA Network Open 2024), alcohol as the largest treatment category, and cocaine and prescription opioids rounding out the mix. The city's large Hispanic, Portuguese, and Haitian communities shape the linguistic profile of placement calls.

Does Insurance Cover Rehab for Elizabeth Residents?
Yes. NJ's A2031/S1339 parity law applies to Union County commercial plans the same as anywhere else in NJ.

Placement advisors verify free of charge and factor in network geography before making a referral.
