- Accreditation: Passion Care Center holds Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Accreditation is a voluntary external quality review — facilities with multiple accreditations have committed to ongoing clinical and operational standards verification.

- Veteran programming: the facility is configured to serve veterans — confirm whether care is VA-direct, VA Community Care, TRICARE, or standalone commercial during intake.
- NJ FamilyCare accepted: important for Medicaid-covered patients. Verify which of the five current MCO networks the facility participates in before assuming in-network status.
- State-funded slots available: important for uninsured/underinsured NJ residents. Contact the DMHAS Access Center at 844-276-2777 for current availability.
Who Passion Care Center is typically appropriate for
Based on the public data, Passion Care Center is likely appropriate for patients with opioid use disorder seeking medication-assisted treatment in an outpatient setting, patients who need structured clinical support while maintaining work/family responsibilities (IOP), and patients who need daily structured clinical programming but have stable housing (PHP).
This is a directional assessment from public records — it’s not a substitute for a clinical intake. The facility’s admissions team will assess fit during your initial call.
What to verify before calling Passion Care Center
- NJ DMHAS licensure — confirm current status via the NJ DMHAS licensure lookup.
- Insurance network status — call your insurance carrier and verify that Passion Care Center is currently in-network for your specific plan. Self-reported payer acceptance in the SAMHSA directory is a starting point, not proof of current in-network contract.
- Current level of care availability — ask specifically about bed or slot availability at the level of care you need. SAMHSA-listed services do not guarantee current open admissions.
- Medications policy — if you’re on prescribed buprenorphine, methadone, or other psychiatric medication, confirm the facility’s policy on maintaining your medication during treatment.
- 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.
