My sister is being neglected by this establishment for 6 months she requested that they change her medication for scydnophernia and they refused also they do not allow family members to talk to the doctor she has only a nurse practitioner. Her therapist dumped her because she didn't want to go to a program at Kings County Hospital. This place is putting my sisters life in jeopardy.12/20/24 Update they changed her meds, and she been doing well they really take good care of her needs. She still doesn't have a therapist, but her psychiatrist is the best.

I honestly love Interborough. I don't know about the negative reviews but I think it's important to try this place yourself. Thanks to a representative at 988 they have helped me find this place so far they help with medication management, therapy and also employment help. I feel like the people I interact with honestly do care if they go out of their way to make sure you're safe. I have yet to find a con about this place I know everywhere you go it's not perfect but compared to my old clinic, they actually have goals and will help me work towards completing them. I am really grateful for the doctors here

I've just left IDCC after wasting 6+ years 'receiving services'. They mismanaged my case terribly. Therapy is meant to move you forward and better your life, but after all this time, my life is no better today than when I first arrived, it's actually worse. I arrived, after moving to the area, on medications including one for my ADHD. Nurse Reese eliminated my ADHD medication but never replaced it. He was also reluctant to do any adjustments to my other meds when I was noticed they were becoming ineffective. I was then given a psychiatrist who never addressed the adhd medication concerns, nor address medication concerns. She seemed easily offended, perhaps due to pregnancy hormones, when I questioned my care, from that point forward she was unable to hide the fact she didn't want to work with me, and was unresponsive to medication adjustments. I bounced through 2 more psychiatrist, still with no adhd medication. When I started to have adverse reactions to then current regimen, instead of switching my meds, they wanted to pile on more, leaving me to wonder if they get kickbacks for each script. I did manage to see the same therapist for the whole time there, but my life is as unmanageable as when I came in if not worse, as 'therapy' was more of a 'kvetch' session than actionable remedies for my life. The last email to my psychiatrist was unanswered. I'm now on zero meds, struggling with my adhd, my daily living skills haven't improved, my interpersonal skills have deteriorated, I still have no job, no improvement in my housing situation, no improvement in my mood, nor my decision making abilities. I called to complain about my care & was told I'd receive a call back...I'm still waiting!

Location

Accepted Insurance

Interborough Developmental & Consultation 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

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.

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

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehabs provide a space for clients to focus exclusively on their recovery while receiving intensive supervision and support. Inpatient treatment centers provide housing and food and most offer round-the-clock clinical care. Their primary treatment modalities typically consist of addiction counseling using various psychotherapeutic methods, including CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Many rehabs also provide specialized services for clients with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. Recovery-focused life skills training and holistic therapies are other common services.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in New York occurs when family members and friends lovingly confront someone with a substance use disorder. The goal of this confrontation is to motivate the person to seek treatment. Loved ones point out how the person's destructive behavior is affecting them in hopes that they will agree to get help. Most inpatient rehab facilities offer intervention services that can help families walk through this process step by step.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

If you are person of color especially a black person do not come here.All the positive reviews are Caucasian people.The crown heights location is hell the establishment is racist. I brought my daughter here in 2021 and it s been issues after issues. My daughter therapist left without preparing her for closure and IDCC left her without a therapist for four months. Then her psychiatrist did not see her in three months and she went without medication. Her new psychiatrist met with recently and made my child feel judged , belittled , and stereotyped her. She took her off medication and then my daughter started having suicidal ideations. My daughter has really bad anxiety and needs accommodations for exams. My daughter has been asking for a letter that she can take to her school office for students with disabilities to get accommodation IDCC is not providing the letter my daughter has been asking for this letter for a month and finals are about to start and she is at risk for failing.I ve reached out the president of IDCC he ignores me. Director Morgan Siegel ignores. My daughter was suppose to get services from their sister company , and IDCC shared with there sister company negative things about myself and my child .painting us as problematic. If you care about your black daughters don t bring them here . They have made my daughter worse with the lack of care and disrespect from staff. These people can make patients commit suicide. They are cruel, liars , and racists.

Response from the owner3 months ago
Hi Raisa, Thank you for your feedback. Every feedback is important to us and we take it seriously. The name being used on this google review is not relevant to our database. We understand your frustration but we made attempts to complete the HIPAA form and were unable to due to continuous missed scheduled appointments. Without having a HIPAA on file we were unable to provide the letter. Once we had the HIPAA completed, we presented the letter that was requested. Regarding the medication; there was a full appointment completed with a prescriber and due to circumstances involving the patient, prescribing medication was not in the best interest of the patient. Once again, we are truly sorry about your experience and if there is anything we can do to help please don't hesitate to contact our office.
