AVOID THIS HOSPITAL. 99.9% of the nurses here are very unprofessional and rude. They have no empathy whatsoever. If you don t like your job then don t sign up for it!!!! One of the nurses in the ER tried to speak to me as if I was a child. Simply rude. Then was very inconsiderate of my mothers well being. My mother is on oxygen 24/7 then this woman wants to take it off all while ignoring me disregarding the fact that I am TELLING HER SHE NEEDS IT 24/7. No questions asked. Clearly my mother is distraught and she continues to do whatever she was doing and ignores me and my mother. As I was telling her she needs the oxygen immediately she continued to move even slower, just to make us even more upset. It is absolutely disgusting and very disappointing to be treated this way. This is not the first time I ve had an issue here, but on this very day she was the cherry on top of my bad experiences in this place.I also asked for this woman s name and she REFUSED to give her name. Her name is TAMARA btw, in the Emergencies room.

The cardiac Care my husband received was excellent. His discharge from this hospital caused us so much problems. It's not even funny. Lavina the nurse we had at discharge was an awful human being. When being discharged with a lot of medication, it's important to understand what they are for and when they should be taken. When I asked her she told me that she already told my husband. Very rude and quite condescending. Calling me hun. No respect at all for him or for me Well guess what? I am his caretaker and I need to know all the information as well. All of his prescriptions, and there are many were called in to a pharmacy we have never used and have no relationship with and have no insurance coverage for pills that cost $800 a piece They knew that he has veterans insurance and it had to be called into the VA and they said they weren't able to do that. Lazy. Straight out of the hospital he had to get in the car with his heart condition and go to the VA in Manhattan to get the pills that he needed. Great stress to have after getting out of the hospital.Here we are 2 months later. Still trying to straighten out the mess that she made. I did receive a call from Mary the head of nursing and told her what was going on and she said she would have someone get back to me and I never heard another word. We went back to the hospital for a follow-up with the urologist and he did the same exact thing calling yet another Rx to the same pharmacy. I will also mention that they ignored his diabetic diet, until I started yelling. I had to go to the desk at least three times to remind them. So with that being said, I have to give them two stars only because the cardiology team was so good. I did find one nice woman a nurse who led me to the recovery area that nobody else seemed to know where it was. Believe it or not, he gets better attention at the VA than he did at Good Samaritan hospital

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.
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
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.
Inpatient 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 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.
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
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.
