About Charles K. Post Addiction Treatment Center

Charles K. Post Addiction Treatment Center has 51 beds available for their extensive inpatient rehabilitation program. An additional 42 more beds are available for the center’s community residential housing program. In addition to offering a variety of interventions that address the social, psychological, and physical aspects of addiction they also offer general medical care, specialized treatment and educational programs.

Their treatment approach acknowledges substance abuse disorders (SUD) including alcoholism as complex conditions that can be effectively managed. Co-occurring psychiatric disorders, physical and medical conditions, relationship issues, and job retention are common struggles that they address. They have a multidisciplinary team that consists of social workers, doctors, psychiatrists, licensed counselors and registered nurses.

Their highly structured and demanding inpatient rehabilitation program is tailored to each client’s unique requirements. Although it can be extended to suit particular needs, a stay of up to 28 days is the maximum.

Financial concerns are addressed through Medicaid acceptance, private insurance and self-pay options. In accordance with the client’s financial situation, they also provide fee modifications. They make sure that no one is turned away due to a lack of funds in addition to helping with Medicaid applications.

Medication assisted treatment (MAT), which uses medications such as methadone, Suboxone and Vivitrol along with nicotine replacement therapy, is a crucial component of their approach. Specialized groups address many recovery-related topics such as anger management, codependency, relapse preventio, and cross-addiction.

They have designed a unique program that addresses the specific challenges faced by women in recovery placing a strong emphasis on stabilization and aftercare planning.

Each discharge is accompanied by a comprehensive plan that addresses the requirements for ongoing care such as having access to a supportive living environment. They work in conjunction with other neighborhood substance abuse providers to ensure that clients receive the best aftercare possible.

Though the medical care was great and any health related concerns were tended to efficiently the program was highly ineffective,condescending and coercionFurthermore, tending to bills, outside responsibilities and contacting loved ones regularly was impossible. You need to pester your counselor (only there certain days and no weekend phone) and 1 phone for 13 people to share in the very limited time the counselor availed was asinine. I didn't speak to my 7 year old once in 2 weeks ! I could not get access to my phone to make payments in the safe only one person has the key to permission is needed and only one day a week and they forget.my phone was therefore disconnected upon leaving. This was a barrier to getting home.I also had more bills being unable to pay etcI left earlier not only due to the above reasons but if you are An introvert, need personal time and space this is not the placeRooms are locked so there is no safe haven to think alone,read alone and groups are forced . Counselors are constantly invading space and in business Even if you tell them to let you be. Every.Thing is so dramatic. I am a shy depressive and they wanted to medicate me more as I'm not into group joining or oversharing and crying groups. They suggested hospital visit and 5 people coerced me to Stay before I could finally go 2 days later.Lastly upon leaving (and my mother neither had entire context nor knew my plans etc) my counselor called to let her know!I am 39 years old. I believe this violates hippaa.The grounds are nice ( When you do get the opportunity to go out) and they are definitely attentive but too much so and want you to subscribe to their program.Some go on a different path. That is okIt I'd not an emergency to call my mother as a.grown woman ( they constantly called me Yung lady as well) infantilizing and weird.Ugh

Accepted Insurance

Charles K. Post Addiction Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

It s just upsetting because I dropped my husband off . I haven t heard from him at all so I called and the man on the phone can not confirm nor deny if he s there, I m like I know he s there I dropped him off , I m not asking to speak to him , I m just asking if he s ok his reply was I will relay the message upstairs and If he is here I will make sure he gets the message. I m like I know he s there I dropped him off once again I m not asking to talk to him , just want to know he s doing ok and I have yet to hear from any one . Addiction is a family disease and to keep the spouses in the dark is completely wrong . Like we have had to deal with this all this time , we should be included in some of the therapy because as the spouse we have lived this day in and day out for what ever period of time and when they return home we still need to deal with this . They get them for 28 days .. we are married to the addicts . We have to actually live with them . So the secrecy of the facility is extremely wrong especially if as the spouse you found the facility and dropped your partner off .

CK post saved my life. I went into this facility angry at the world. Indenial and hopeless. Fearful and unwilling. My mindset quickly changed the second week into my stay. I became open and willing. I can actually say I loved being there. I got so much out of the groups. The counselors and staff are amazing and really do care. I highly recommend this rehab to the addict in the need. If I ever had to go back to rehab I would go to CK post.

I understand that they cannot confirm nor deny if a patient is there but I have never had a problem with saying if they are there can you give them a message normally they would say if they are here we can relay the message however there is one gentleman in particular I do not know his name that won t even let you leave a message which this is the first for me because everybody else there would take a message and say if he is here we can get him the message it s my husband for crying out loud it sI have children with this man and I can t even get him I will message you what happens if one of our children are in serious harm and I needed to get in touch with him and the fact that his counselor is never in so I can never get in touch with his counselor is absolutely ridiculous the counselors name is Kevin should not give somebody a counselor that is never in
