Checked myself in. My first experience with rehab. Waited four hours to get to the unit. No meetings that night. The next morning at 5:30 AM the woke me up to take my blood. I went to breakfast two hours later, then we had a meeting about sleep. SLEEP.. Following that we had another meeting. It was about how terrible the facility was run and asking us how they could improve it. Some people claims they had only seen their counselor one time the entire time they were there and we're about to graduate the next week. After that I went and took a nap and was woken up by the cleaning lady who said I missed lunch. Everybody came back up to the unit and they took us outside following lunch. The people that have been there multiple times without success told me I should run while I could. The facility itself is an old tuberculosis housing corridors. They even have the old incinerator chimney still up. The place is absolutely dilapidated, outdated and disgusting. The only water available is straight out the tap. So when I finally decided to check out that same day they gave me a hard time until I dragged my stuff downstairs and demanded my property. I went out to my car because I hit a spare key and realized that they stole my car which is a Mercedes-Benz and took it for God knows how long and parked it in a different spot under sap trees that expected me to leave it there unnoticed for 28 days. That is completely disrespectful on every level.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
For many different stages and therapies offered during addiction treatment, it's essential to offer 24-hour clinical care in New York. often involves medication treatment for drug or alcohol detox. The withdrawal symptoms experienced during detox can be dangerous, but having medical experts on-site around the clock means someone is always there to step in and provide emergency medical care when and if it is ever needed.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Medical detox involves weaning your body off of addictive substances in a medically supervised environment. If you've become dependent on alcohol and/or drugs, quitting on your own can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. In medically assisted detox, a team of licensed medical professionals will help manage potential withdrawal symptoms, ensuring that you're as safe and comfortable as possible. This process typically takes about 5-7 days, although the length will depend on your individual needs.

Treatments

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
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

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.

You can participate in couples therapy to focus on a specific problem in your relationship or for general strengthening of the relationship. This therapy aims to help you improve communication, address conflict, and grow in affection for one another.

Family therapy helps individual members of the family unit navigate the complexities of addiction. Therapists provide you with the tools you need to improve communication skills and conflict resolution. When families work together, they can support their loved one's recovery and help to restore balance and harmony within the household.

Do NOT have your loved ones attend here. My family member was here for not even a week and it was a nightmare. They don t provide any kind of services besides a place to stay. My family member was told groups and therapy would be provided. They didn t receive any of that. When they were dropped off my transportation there was numerous people with the cab and the driver informed my family member that the place reminded them of hurtling cattle. There was 150 patients and not enough staff. Everything was timed.150 people in a line for meds and food. Not enough time to even finish their meal. It was days before I was allowed to speak with my family member. When I did I only was able to speak with them for 2 minutes. I kept calling the facility and no one would answer. I was an emergency contact and wasn t called when my family member fell and broke their hip. My family member informed me that when they fell they yelled and no one came to assist them. My family member also informed me that the nurses had talk to them like they were dumb and made them cry when they needed assistance with the phone. This facility needs structure, staffing, communication, and care. I would be disgusted to work here. Figure it out.

First off, I fully believe these institutions are needed. However, the nice, open, aesthetically appealing room you check yourself in at is completely different from the rest of the building. Once inside everything I saw-except for the cafeteria and gym- is outdated and not very well maintained. The detox section was very helpful, necessary but scary. The overall cleanliness of this unit was decent. The groups and scheduled classes were only held about 50% of the time, which was frustrating but I was told that the classes, groups and meetings would be much more available once in the impatient rehab program. This proved to be untrue. The gym and pool aren t available during detox. There are many people with open wounds and/ or untreated ailments because a doctor wouldn t treat them until their detox was completed. The impatient rehab is totally different. It s disgusting, it s shocking, it s completely unsanitary. There are 8 women sharing 1 toilet, one shower, one sink, which is all understandable. There are about 40 women in this small section of the building. Vomit, excrement, and blood is not only all over the bathrooms, but in the common areas as well. No cleaning supplies or washcloths or paper towels were given to patients in order to clean these areas. There were many people with eating disorders that weren t able to get to bathrooms so they d use trash cans to vomit in, then when they or other patients or myself would try to change the bags, the staff would refuse to replace the bags and wouldn t take the full bag or give us a way to dispose of it. There would be piles of clear trash bags filled with vomit and excrement outside rooms or at the end of the only hallway. The staff was sure to keep the soiled bags away from their office, but the patients could not escape the smell or the sight of this. The cleaning staff were very efficient, but were only there once a day. There was no other output for refuse. The staff refuses to give the patients towels or instruments to clean the common areas up with and refuses to do anything to address the conditions. It was horrifying. The staff overall is a group of untrained, unprofessional peer counselors , most of which were patients at conifer park just 90 days before. They are very understaffed. Most shifts seemed to be down at least 1 person, which meant they couldn t hold scheduled rehabilitation groups, the groups that are necessary to our recovery. The staff would openly tell patients what staff member called in, what excuse was used, how often that particular person calls in, blaming the chaos and disorganization on the staff member that called out. The staff break more rules than the patients do. Groups are almost never held when they are scheduled, or never held at all. Outdoor recreation was only held if the staff member felt like going outside- it is supposed to be held daily for 30 minutes, which was never upheld. When I was leaving, one staff member kept saying i can tell you won t make it ! It was a bizarre way to leave. The staff was very unhelpful and discouraging in this way. I heard many staff members say things like you aren t ready to stop using or you haven t hit your bottom, or recovery isn t for everyone, or you re going to be part of the 90% that won t make it or we will see you in here again . It was disheartening and unproductive, to say the least. The staff would congregate for dance-offs and gossip, but not to hold meetings or groups. They were totally unprofessional and impotent. The activities counselors in the gym were very good. The cafeteria staff was great and efficient. I was there for 16 days, and despite my asking repeatedly, I wasn t given a treatment plan. I never saw a therapist or counselor, I saw a doctor twice, through telehealth. They were very focused on how much my insurance would pay for, vs how much help I needed. Focused on money, not my personal needs and goals. But truly, I ve never seen a more unprofessional staff than in the rehab area of this hospital. It was definitely a disappointment.
