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.

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.

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
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.
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients in rehab aftercare programs receive a customized portfolio of services designed to promote their sustained sobriety. These clients have completed high-level treatment, are typically exiting detox and/or intensive inpatient care and are reintegrating into their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services address addiction disease as a chronic condition requiring continuing care. Clients typically work with case managers and recovery teams to access necessary resources, such as peer coaching and 12 step program induction support.
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.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances.

Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image

Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.

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.

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I was not treated after waiting for an hour and a half. I watched other people be checked in within 30 minutes (or less) of walking in. I was so desperate to be seen that I just went elsewhere. I

Terrible hospital. Filthy. Rude staff. Incompetent staff took my blood and somehow spilled it all over my arm coat and the bed. Never experienced that before not even at an urgent care. These are supposedly the trained medical staff providing for the masses?! I came for simple X-ray because I ve been having chest pains for over a week but I spent 3hrs sitting around before I decided to just leave. I get that ER isn t quick but that was an insane waste of my time.The entire time I was there they did EKG and took my blood and urine. Urine bottle sat next to me the entire time I was there. Someone even knocked it over where it spilled on the bed I was sitting on and I waited to see how long until someone would notice and clean it up. (30mins) I constantly asking what is next step for me why am I waiting so long. Dismissive responses. I tell them I wasn t expecting to be admitted I just thought I could come and get chest xray and go about my business as I had plans at 7pm and no one warned me it would take this long. Long story short I missed my show I m out 30$ + plus whatever they ll bill me for this subpar service and I wasted 3hrs of my time. I would literally never come back here even if I was literally dying. I guess if this chest pain turns to something worse I ll just lay down and die. Better option than coming here.

Dr.Decrisce was wonderful. He s a psychiatrist in the mental health intake department. He took the time out to explain everything to me and didn't rush my visit with him which i am thankful for. He seen my concerns and addressed them accordingly with efficiency. Thank you so much dr.decrisce! Also special mention to my nurse for the night ms.ruff smith. You both made my visit manageable and less stressful.

I believe that the receptionists in the front desk should have some training on how to treat people who are having family members in the ICU because Is very sad to have a family member in the last stage of life and listening to someone telling you that you are not allow to see him/her because other family members are in the waiting area . This is the time when family needs to be together to support each others.

If you have any choice DO NOT GO HERE!!!!I was having 24 hours of severe cramping in my lower abdominal every 20 minutes as well as constant diarrhea, sorry to be so graphic. So I get to the ER at 10:30 am. I tell the doctor what's wrong. While waiting in the ER I have at least 2 horrible episode of yelling out in pain, but there are no doctors or nurses to even notice me at all. After about 2 hours a nurse asks me to pee in a cup. I do and the cup of pee sits by me for a bout 2 hours. I have a few more excruciating abdominal cramps, while I am yelling out in pain, still no one comes to see me. Finally a doctor comes and thinks it's a bad stomach flu. Say they are going to do blood work. At least an hour later a nurse takes my blood. Now I have had blood taken several times in my life with out any issues. She tries taking it form one arm, then the other, then tries my hand which hurts extremely bad but still cant get the blood into the vile but there's blood everywhere at this point, all over the bed and my arm. Then she has to go to lunch so a man nurse says he'll do it, this also hurts really bad but at least they finally get the blood. But they didn't put it in right, so every time they give me anything the iv hurts really bad!!!! My hand is still in a lot of pain the next day BTW. I am thinking they'll give me something to help the pain since I been writhing in pain for about 4 hours now, but nope. Gave me some tylenol and an iv drip, I still feel horrible. Nurses and doctors every once in a while ask if I feel better and I say NO! Another 2 hours go by and they get the bloodwork back and everything's normal. Now they say we are going to do a cat scan. So at least another hour passed, while I am still having severe stomach cramps, literally screaming out loud in pain that no one pays any attention to me. Finally get the cat scan results and they says there a inflammation but they need to do another cat scan with water this time. An hour later they give me special water to drink for the cat. Then while drinking the water I have another severe cramp and the doctor is there and actually sees it, they ask what's wrong. I say it's the same problem I told you about when I stepped in the door to the ER!!! It happed 5 times now!!!!! So finally they give me pain meds and I get the 2nd cat scan. BTW The doctor that was working with me all this time tells me his shift is over and leaves. The new doctor comes over knows nothing and starts asking me, what wrong, it's like I am starting all over!!!! Then an hour later, It's 9pm at this point they finally diagnose me with an intestinal infection and I need anti biotics. But guess what all the pharmacies are all closed. So I am writing this today after a second night of excruciating pain because I couldn't get my medication last night!!!!! Also side note they never asked me for my insurance info and just went with some old one on file, I get an e-mail this morning from the pharmacy they cannot fill my prescription until I get them the correct info. Just want I want to do this am. I am still in horrible pain, I have to take the subway now to the pharmacy, give them the new info and I assume wait like an hour till they can fill it. I am in so much pain and really angry, I spent about 9 hours in the ER!!!!!!!! I am having horrible cramping as I write this review.
