Detox
Just a sad and disappointing life experience. The workers treated us rude, and they lacked kindness when talking to us, you could feel the degradation in their voice, and you'd feel humiliated. Every day was a continually frustrating experience.

The providers that are assigned to Me refused to heed My concerns about the drug they are administering Me despite Me pleading with them about the negative effects, some of which are clearly evident in bloodwork metrics. Over the course of many months and to the tune of many emails and discussions where I carefully explained each negative effect being experienced, My providers essentially blew off all of My concerns and did not entertain any requests to have the drug lowered or switched. Instead of being competent healthcare professionals and showing compassion in their work, My providers have acted like narcissistic know-it-alls who believe that treatment regarding health of the brain outside the unnatural protocol of pharmaceutical administration is delusion. If you would like to genuinely heal, FSL is not your place. They are just drug dealers who will throw prescriptions at you, and when you experience side effects they will hit you with recommendations for more drugs to cover the side effects, trapping you in a dangerous situation of pharmaceutical escalation. FSL gives you no space to heal naturally and will expect you to follow their drug recommendations, which according to My experience with them are based on outdated and/or questionable industry standards. They make use of a reporting protocol that doesn t take patient concerns and progress that has been made outside of what they have to offer into consideration, which from My experience is limited to drug-dealing, and will document what you are going through in their own neglectful words and tone, doing a poor job of representing you and leading you into a situation that is difficult to grow away from. During critical moments in meetings where I was pleading to have the drug s dose lowered or switched, My providers have done things such as attempt to pass off accountability, belittle and condescend Me, laugh off My concerns, and talk over Me when speaking, violating the very core tenet of how to treat a patient in a healthcare setting and without making them feel uncomfortable. If you have a choice, I would avoid FSL if you can. They ultimately are entirely incompetent at factoring in client needs and keeping their best interests in mind.
To whom it may concern,I feel like not enough people go out of their way to give appreciation!Jennifer Fridenberger is definitely someone anyone is lucky to have in their corner. Over the last year having her as my case worker I ve had more support and gotten through some of the hardest times. She s always looking for ways to go above and beyond, you can tell she belongs in a job helping people, her passion for it is clearly visible.I just wanted to take a brief moment to say thank you,Shout out to Vikki Valente for ACM program too, because when I had an issue with my previous caseworker when Jennifer was re assigned temporarily she reassured me I would be taken care of and she was right.Thanks again guys.- Heather DeJesus
You get out of it what you put into it. Come with an open mind.

Accepted Insurance
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Medically 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.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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
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
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
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.
