Writing this review after having a fellow friend stay here. Upon entering the facility is very clean and staff seems pretty professional. But the care is where the one star is highly deserved. The pain and malnourishment my friend went through here is extremely sad. The staff does not take care of their patients, skipping feedings, cleanings, rotating body to prevent bed sores! The basic things they took an oath to do when becoming caregivers they do not do. Please stay far away from this place and look somewhere else.

Accepted Insurance

Affinity Skilled Living and Rehabilitation 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.
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.
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

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.
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.

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.

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.

As you recover from addiction, eating the right foods will help you heal and build your health for long term sobriety. Nutrition therapy teaches you about the nutrition your body needs and how to eat the right foods to support your recovery.

In addiction treatment, recreational therapy focuses on engaging you in healthy activities to help reduce your cravings and improve your mental well being. You might engage in activities like cooking classes, hiking, group sports, or swimming as a constructive outlet for stress and emotions that help your recovery.

When recovering from addiction, it can be difficult to find the words to express your emotions and thoughts. Creative arts therapy in New York gives you a way to express yourself beyond words. Options include sculpting, music, drawing, dance, and drama.

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.

I have been Affinity a dozen times this past year as part of my work in nursing homes and hospitals. Affinity stands out for the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Happy residents are the measure of any facility, and the staff at Affinity is professional, friendly, approachable, and empathetic. Andrea L., the Director of Therapeutic Recreation, is always engaged in making the resident's lives happier and more fun. She is genuinely one of the nicest people I've worked with. If I had to be in a facility, I would want to be in this one with people like these taking care of me.

The staff were caring and helpful. They took excellent care of my special needs sister who became a quadriplegiac and had a trach. Despite what she went through, she still had a smile on her face due to the care that she received at Affinity. I am extremely grateful for everyone who helped my sister and I highly recommend Affinity to anyone in need.

Medford muticare is a million times bettthen this place they attend to their patients: my husband is alive and on speaky valve and doing incredible; very clean lots of supplies Rob is on a schedule staff is awesome at Medford; So stop lying about Medford Multi care go there so much better; they attend to their patients and care very much. Affinity; 18 days of leaving my husband slumped in his chair and bed a total of 21 hours every day as the pneumonia built in his lungs and he has congestive heart failure due to cardiac arrest he was there for rehabilitation to get stronger for heart surgery; AND I was told by the nurse practitioner; (they refused to have a doctor come in and talk to me and/or my husband who is on a ventilator; because their doctors quit working at Affinity????) Also they Affinity missed his cardio doctors appointment and no on told me; my husbands doctor called the day of the appointment , where is .....? then it was covered up with a lied filled story to get their 5 star rating; the Saturday before my husband left affinity on Sunday, the Nurse Practitioner told us that he did not need to go to the EMERGENCY ROOM that the ambulance would just turn around and come right back, it would be a waste of time and money to have my husband sent to the ER to be looked at, she said they would not look at him there was no reason. HE IS NOW IN ICU the Medical Intensive Care Unit of the hospital with a blood infection, having a blood transfusions, dehydrated, on the wrong medications for his heart and severe pneumonia; hospital staff wanted to know why was he not sent sooner????; I want to thank you David Goldman for the 5 Star ratings I was promised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and applaud you for how nasty you are to me and not caring at all about my husband only your 5 star rating and when you THREATENED TO SUE ME 4 TIMES IN FRONT OF YOUR STAFF when I thought I was called into to your office to discuss why my husbands mouth that had teeth marks on it and his mouth was bleeding after being put back into his bed and cleaned up for the evening; I was told it was done with a sponge toothbrush, my husband is on a ventilator and I was right outside the door no on else went in the room but the aids?????? Congratulations on your 5 stars how you do not care one second about anyone including helpless patients who are on VENTILATORS FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THEY WANT TO LIVE THAT IS WHY THEY ARE IN A REHAB PLACE!!!!! Oh and do not post telling me to call; i have called for dayyyyyyyyyyysssssssss and alway get the receptionist no one calls back and their voice mails do not work so don't brother posting for me to call; you can call my lawyer ok!!!!!

I have been very happy with the warmth I have found inside of this assisted living facility. They have plenty of fun activities and musicians that will go room to room to play for patients. The staff has been very attentive to my mother s needs and I ve found it to be very clean in her room. It s not easy living apart from a loved one, but I m confident that Affinity has been doing its best to make this transition comfortable for her and my family.

I was at Affinity for a rehabilitation stint. I found staff caring, respectful and doing the impossible when you would not think the impossible could be done at times. I would be a miss if I did not praise the nursing staff, the nursing suoervision as well as the nursing audez and the unit housekeeper for the care they gave me. As well as praise for the entirer physical and Occupational therapy staff for getting me fit and healthy in order to take care of myself. And the. medical staff for taking care of medical needs. As well as the recreation staff and the staff of front receptionistdesk. But while providing this care there are ateas that are in need improving .
