What to verify before calling Forge Health of Paramus

• NJ DMHAS licensure — confirm current status via the NJ DMHAS licensure lookup.

• Length-of-stay expectations — ask what a typical length of stay looks like for patients with your clinical presentation.
• MAT specifics — which specific medication(s), induction/transition protocol, and continuation plan post-discharge.
