Discovery Institute Opens New 20-bed Licensed Detox Unit
The Discovery Institute for Addictive Disorders has opened a new fully licensed, state-of-the-art 20-bed medically-managed detoxification unit at its facility at 80 Conover Road, Marlboro, N.J.
Established in 1970, Discovery Institute is the oldest provider of adult substance abuse and behavioral health services in Central Jersey. When a new 10,000-square-foot facility was built on Conover Road in 2007, all programs were moved there.
Steve Hornik, president of the Institute’s Board of Trustees, said the new detoxification wing provides home-like, comfortable, well-appointed rooms with flat screen TVs, and state-of-the-art monitoring systems to ensure patient safety.
Hornik said, “Within the first week of opening, a number of clients checked into the Discovery Institute. The most important factors in the early stage of recovery is the quality and commitment of the medical and counseling staff , and the recovery environment.”
Greg Saville, chief operating officer of Discovery House, said, “Discovery has a balanced interdisciplinary team made up of 11 master’s level clinicians with decades of experience to work in conjunction with our experienced medical staff. At Discovery our goal is to be agents of change in healing the lives of others.”
Once clients have completed the detox program, they can move into an 80-bed residential facility when they can acquire the tools to prevent relapses.
Dr. Jeffrey A. Berman, M.D., FASAM (Fellow American Society of Addiction Medicine), is the executive medical director in charge of the medical and psychiatric services. The new unit uses evidence-based medically assisted treatment (MAT) psychiatric and psycho-social therapies.
The medical team also includes Howard Silverman, Ph.D., a recognized specialist in the treatment of sexual and other traumas; David Wolf, M.D., DABAM (Diplomat of the American Board of Addiction Medicine), psychiatry, and Ernest Oesei-Tutu, M.D., ABIM (American Board of Internal Medicine), internal medicine.
Denise Daley, BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing), RN, director of nursing, said that only experienced Advanced Life Support Certified registered nurses are on staff to “ensure both competence and compassion in the treatment of chemically-dependent individuals.”
The New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services determined that Discovery Institute’s programming is both cost effective and clinically successful. It is licensed for 120 beds and is CARF-accredited (Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities).
Discovery Institute provides a complete continuum of treatment programs, including medically managed detoxification services, three-to seven-day assessment and stabilization program, short-term and long-term residential treatment, tailored relapse prevention programs, family education and counseling, mental health and specialty services (sexual and other trauma recovery), outpatient and intensive outpatient services; toxicology screening and monitoring; and a halfway house.
Most insurances are accepted, including Medicare. Call Discovery admissions at 800-714-2175 for more information or visit www.discoverynj.org for substance abuse issues.

OHI Offers Free Education Sessions on Affordable Care Act
If you don’t have health insurance and you aren’t quite sure if you need it or can afford it, then Ocean Health Initiatives’ upcoming Free Education Sessions on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) can help put your mind at ease. The deadline for open enrollment in the ACA is March 31, 2014.
The free sessions at OHI sites will be held in English and Spanish in Lakewood at 101 Second Street, March 20 and 27 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.; in Manahawkin, 333 Haywood Road, on March 18 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.; and in English and Spanish at Toms River, 301 Lakehurst Road, March 19 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Not sure if you really need health insurance coverage? You do! People who don’t have health insurance tend to skip or postpone getting the care they need, they don’t fill prescriptions because of the costs, and they have trouble paying their medical bills, which are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States.
There are four levels of coverage in the marketplace plans and experts at OHI will explain them at the education sessions. Some people may qualify for Medicaid or N.J. Family Care (for children).
OHI can also help you enroll in health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Bilingual certified application counselors in the OHI Health Exchange Marketplace department will be available by appointment through March 31. For Open Enrollment Day appointments and questions, call OHI’s Health Exchange Marketplace department at 732-363-6655, extensions 8364, 8363, or 8840.

Preferred Home Health Care Employees Volunteer to Cook Six Meals at the Ronald McDonald House
Several employees of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services (PHHC), a company that provides medical and non-medical home health care services from pediatric to geriatric care, recently learned about Caring Cooks, a program that provides a meal for families every night of the week at the Ronald McDonald House in Long Branch, New Jersey.

The RMH, designed to feel like “home,” features bedrooms with private baths and phones, computer access, laundry facilities, a shower and a comfortable area to relax, among other amenities, including a full kitchen. But nothing can make it more like home than sharing a home-cooked meal!
The staff of PHHC decided to volunteer to cook six meals for families staying at the House. The PHHC team planned the menu and purchased the food. This March they will cook their first meal, serve it, AND clean the kitchen afterwards. Their menu includes corned beef and cabbage, boiled potatoes, Irish soda bread, and dessert.
The participants, all from the Eatontown offices of PHHC, are Head Chef Ellen Stone, the director of education; Stone’s husband Chris and their daughter Hanna; Branch Manager Judy Trabucco; Scott Dooley, branch coordinator; Domonique Miller, branch coordinator; Sherry Davis, RN, director of nursing; Dona Talbot, RN; and Marinda Fallon, HR manager.

Lakewood Township Official Has Been Donating His Time to Help the Elderly
When 87-year-old Rhoda Taffet of Lakewood goes for her transfusions at Kimball Medical Center, she doesn’t take a taxi cab. Instead, a volunteer with Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey (CVCJ) helps her with her walker, getting into and out of his car, and delivering her to the medical center. He then sets up the appointment for her next session. Four hours later he picks her up and brings her to her home.
Her caregiver volunteer is none other than Steven Langert, a former Lakewood Township Mayor and Deputy Mayor who is currently serving as a Committeeman on the Township Committee.
Taffet said she had no idea at first that the volunteer who had been giving her rides for the past six months was a township official. Taffet said that Langert never mentioned his township position at first, but after awhile he gave her his business card. “He was always so incredibly kind to me. He would always ask me if I needed to stop anywhere to get anything on the way home,” she said.
“There are just no words to express my thanks and appreciation to Steve for being so helpful to me and so reliable. He is a wonderful friend to me,” said Taffet, who gave Langert a Shalach Manos (small gift basket of food) for the upcoming Purim holiday.
Langert has been a volunteer with CVCJ for the past four years. He recalled that he became interested in volunteering after he met Lynette Whiteman, executive director of the nonprofit interfaith organization that serves 23 municipalities in Ocean County, at a business function.
“It’s a fantastic group and the kind of services they provide appealed to me,” said Langert, who is also a volunteer with a similar type of organization within the Orthodox community known as the Chai Lifeline. His wife is also a volunteer with that organization.
While a CVCJ volunteer, he said he has done everything from take clients to doctor appointments to doing their food shopping. Langert encourages people of all faiths to volunteer for Caregivers (CVCJ) because there are so many community members who need support and caring.
“When I am needed, I only spend up two hours out of my day to pick her (Taffet) up and drive her to where she has to go and then bring her home. Caregivers (CVCJ) is great because they will schedule volunteers according to their own calendar,” he said.
Langert said he would encourage people to do volunteer work for Caregivers (CVCJ) or “any other organization that may strike a chord in their hearts.”
Taffet said, “What the staff does at Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey is extremely difficult, but the agency takes care of so many people and does it so well. I am extremely grateful.”
“Caregivers (CVCJ) thinks I’m doing them a favor for doing this for them,” Langert said, “but the truth is they’re doing me the favor because it gives me a good feeling and I know that when most people can do something for someone else without anything or payment coming back, it gives them a sense of satisfaction, a good feeling that’s worth more than money.”
About Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey (CVCJ): CVCJ is a nonprofit interfaith agency with two locations, serving 23 municipalities in Ocean County. All assistance is provided completely free of charge. CVCJ relies on donations to continue its mission, which is to assist the frail and homebound elderly with everyday tasks enabling them to remain independent in their own homes.

CASA Shoe Drive to Benefit Abused Children of Ocean County
If you’re ready to do some spring cleaning and want to get rid of that closetful of gently worn shoes, CASA of Ocean County will take them off your hands.
The organization is conducting a shoe collection drive through April to raise awareness of child abuse and to raise funds to train more volunteers for CASA, an independent nonprofit that has served as a voice in the courtroom for abused and neglected foster children since 2006.
“We have an upcoming training class for volunteers in April,” said Vicki Weiss, executive director of CASA of Ocean County. Currently, the organization has 11 volunteer advocates and hopes to train an additional nine volunteers to bring the number of advocates up to 20 with the funds from the shoe drive.
Weiss said that the shoe drive is being conducted through Funds2org.com, which helps nonprofits raise money through shoe drives. CASA hopes to raise $3,000 through the shoe drive, she said.
“We are very excited to be conducting this shoe drive in Ocean County. This campaign will raise funds that directly benefit CASA that serves abused children living in foster care by recruiting, training and supervising children’s rights advocates,” Weiss said.
“CASA’s goal is to collect 100 bags of shoes containing 25 pairs of shoes each,” she said, adding that CASA is also seeking additional businesses, schools, or community organizations to volunteer as a drop-off site.
The collected shoes will help benefit microenterprise ventures in developing nations and also keep old shoes out of landfills. In the United States alone, about 630 million pairs of shoes are thrown away each year. The materials used to manufacture a pair of shoes are created from chemical compounds, which can create health hazards if left to disintegrate openly or in landfills, according to the Funds2org.com website.
Shoe donations of any style, size, color or gender can be dropped off at collection boxes located at the CASA office, 1108 Hooper Ave., Building 1, Suite C, Toms River, NJ 08753 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and at the Ocean Township Police Department, 50 Railroad Avenue, Waretown, NJ 08758.
For more information or to host a collection box, contact Vicki Weiss at Vicki@casaofoceancounty.org or by calling 732-797-0590.
