Admissions Process
The admissions process helps determine which program will best suit your needs in addiction recovery. Learn more about what to expect throughout the process and the five steps our clients take before starting treatment.
Our Addiction Treatment Center Is Open With COVID-19 Protocols and Testing
We are closely monitoring all developments associated with Coronavirus (COVID-19) and are taking proactive steps to ensure the health and safety of all patients, employees and the communities we serve. We are following the latest CDC recommendations for controlling the spread of COVID-19, including facemask, Testing, mandatory 24-hour quarantines and enhanced sanitation protocols.
The decision to pursue addiction treatment is a huge decision that will put you on a path toward a healthier future. The first step of that journey is to contact a professional rehab facility, like The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper. Our helpful representatives will help you begin the drug rehab admissions process right away by answering any questions you may have and helping you to assess the level of care your stay will require.
Before you or a loved one begin your stay with The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper, there are a few steps you’ll need to take. When you call us, our team will walk you through our rehab admission process step-by-step to help you enroll in the life-changing treatment you deserve.
Step 1
Contact Us
“Your confidentiality is our top priority. “We’ll ask you about your substance abuse and history, mental health concerns, eating disorder history (if any), your current living environment and other medical information. From here, we’ll start on your initial detox planning.”
– Robert Fishman, Vice President of Admissions
Step 2
Exploring Your Insurance Options
Concerns about paying for drug rehab can cause people who need treatment to avoid attending a rehab program. However, the costs of supporting an addiction, including the costs to your relationships, lifestyle and short and long-term health, far outweigh the costs of treatment.
In many cases, health insurance can significantly offset the costs of drug rehab. Your representative will ask about your insurance policy and help you verify whether your insurance will help pay for your treatment. The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper accepts most major insurance providers, with the exception of Medicare or Medicaid. If you do not have insurance, your representative can also discuss private pay programs or other options that will allow you to attend rehab.
Step 3
Understanding Your Treatment Options
Many times, treatment begins with a medical detox followed by inpatient care at a residential treatment facility, but your treatment plan at The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper will be created and adjusted to suit your specific needs in recovery.
After intensive treatment, clients typically step down to less intensive programs like outpatient treatment and aftercare, which help facilitate a lifelong recovery process. Our levels of care help people get the help they need and then transition back into daily life, where they can feel confident in their sobriety and ability to cope with stressors in healthier ways.
Step 4
Arriving at the Facility
After your representative completes the pre-assessment and verifies your insurance, they will help you decide the best date and time to arrive at The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper.
Your admission date depends on a few factors, but some clients begin treatment as soon as a few hours after speaking with their representative. Others may wait a few days to begin treatment. We offer 24/7 admissions support and can even help you with making travel arrangements.
Once You Arrive at the Facility
When you arrive at The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper, our staff will perform a comprehensive intake assessment of your physical and mental health to help create your substance abuse treatment plan. Your intake assessment may include:
- Drug and alcohol screenings

- Co-occurring disorders evaluations
- Medical assessments
- Risk assessments
- Social assessments
With the information gathered from your intake assessment, you will be placed in a treatment program that best suits your recovery needs.
What to Expect During and After Rehab
Though specific treatment plans and levels of care vary depending on your needs, having an idea of what to expect before and after rehab can make you feel more comfortable starting the process.
While in inpatient treatment, most clients follow similar schedules each day. A daily schedule in rehab might include:
- Set bedtimes and wake-up times

- Recreational activities and other amenities, as medically appropriate
As treatment continues, many clients transition to less intensive programs, such as outpatient treatment. These programs allow clients to begin returning to their daily lives while still having the support of medical professionals.
Each one of our patients is given tailored aftercare plans and resources that help aid them throughout their lifelong recovery. These resources can range from follow-up appointments, information about local support groups, maintenance medication, therapy and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Admissions Process

Questions About Going to Drug & Alcohol Rehab
If you are struggling with substance abuse, dependence or addiction, rehab is often the best way to maintain lifelong sobriety. Treatment requires a multi-pronged approach that addresses the addiction itself, underlying causes of substance use and triggers to use drugs or alcohol. Without rehab, it can be difficult to address all of these issues effectively.
Drug rehab costs can vary widely, depending on whether the rehab is a private or publicly-funded location, treatment type, length of treatment, and much more. Typically, costs can run from a few thousand dollars to $25,000 or more. Fortunately, health insurance often covers some or all of these costs.
Yes, most health insurance providers are required to cover substance abuse treatment as part of their plans. However, different plans can vary in what types of treatment they cover.
The average length of a rehab stay is around 35 to 45 days. However, some drug and alcohol treatment programs may take more or less time to be completed.
Several laws prevent employers from retaliating against or punishing employees who attend rehab treatment using FMLA. However, workplaces with strict drug-free policies can still terminate employees who are using substances.
Our drug and alcohol treatment center is located at 761 Cuthbert Blvd, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002.

Friends, family members and loved ones are allowed to mail you letters. If you receive any packages, they will be held until you leave the facility.

Patients can smoke cigarettes during break times at designated locations. E-cigarettes and vape devices are not allowed, and cigarettes must last your entire stay and come in their original, unopened packaging.
It varies depending on your treatment program and the progress you make, but doctor appointments are usually used to monitor your progress, adjust treatment and form your recovery path. Outside of doctor visits, you will have around-the-clock access to nurses, counselors, addiction specialists and other support staff.
Returning home after rehab is when the recovery process really begins. You will be facing day-to-day life armed with helpful coping mechanisms, new ways of thinking and a body that has detoxed from drugs and alcohol. However, it’s still important to continue maintaining your commitment to recovery, which is where aftercare plays an important role.
It can be incredibly challenging at times to continue lifelong sobriety, but we make sure that you aren’t alone in your journey. Our aftercare services include individualized relapse prevention plans, routine follow-up appointments, counseling, support group access and many other resources. These programs allow clients to receive help when they’re struggling and continue their recovery with ongoing support.
An alumni program is included in our aftercare services. Those who complete treatment will gain access to a wide range of alumni resources, including support meetings, group events, phone check-ups and around-the-clock access to support helplines.
Sober living communities are places people can go after rehab to help ease back into daily life. Some have negative home environments that may damage their recovery process, while others want to take time to practice the skills they learned in rehab in a supportive, substance-free environment.
