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.

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

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.
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.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs maintain access to community-based peer support, which is the programs' primary treatment modality. 12 step recovery combines personal growth with paper coaching. Participants regularly attend group meetings, which are free, anonymous, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. They are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who guide them through the steps of recovery. Age and gender specific and other specialized formats are common.

Treatments

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.

Clinical Services

Men and women receive emotional support from their peers during group therapy sessions. These are typically people who face the same struggles that you do. This exposure fosters a sense of camaraderie and community while reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness that often accompany addiction.

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.

The philosophy behind experiential therapy is that your behavior is guided by your perception. This therapy allows you to express yourself creatively, which reveals how you perceive events. Your therapist will guide you through the exploration of your emotions to release negative ones and experience positive ones.

Nicotine is an addictive substance found in cigarettes. When you stop smoking, your body experiences withdrawal from this substance. Nicotine replacement therapy lets you slowly reduce your nicotine intake so you experience minimal withdrawal symptoms. Eventually you'll be down to zero.

My husband just had surgery at the hospital in Patchogue yesterday. The staff seemed nice. During recovery and after I couldn’t be with him. I was getting updates through text or when I asked at the front desk, which is ridiculous. I never had to wait in the waiting room, I was always able to be with him. Then on our way home he was complaining about his throat, he was having a hard time swallowing. I was informed by my husband that he was intubated. He tried to eat but couldn’t swallow and felt like he couldn’t breathe. We ended up in the ER (after an hour when we came home) close to home and the doctor saw that he had scratches and trauma from the intubation. I am so upset and furious at the person who intubated him. Do they have any experience doing this. STOP intubating and just put an oxygen mask over the people’s nose and mouth instead of ruining their throats.

worst hospital i have ever been to and getting help from a nurse or a doctor takes longer than a trip to the dmv. (before you had to schedule) lol but seriously recommend going anywhere else but there. they don’t even treat the patients like human beings and it’s a scary hospital. this place should of been shut down years ago when they couldn’t even diagnose a basic case of the chicken pox.

I went to NYU yesterday I'm a senior and I was having dizzy spells. It was quiet there it was unbelievable they took me right away a wonderful young doctor examined me they gave me all kinds of tests. The nurses were great everything seems much better than the old hospital. The only thing I have to say is the ER is a nightmare, they pushed too many people into small cubicles and there's no rest no quiet and no room to shut your machines off when they're beeping for 45 minutes that's a problem. That's the only problem I had is my neighbor's machine was going so long I couldn't even take a nap waiting in between my tests. I do love the portal I get test results before the doctors have time for me so that was a plus. I just wish they'd use the money to make the ER better it's a big problem and people are in desperate need down there. The poor nurses do seem a little bit overwhelmed they take a long time to answer the light and the machines that are constantly going off. But it is an improvement and clean since Brookhaven hospital it really is nicer and I hope they continue to do something with the ER thank you.

Avoid at all costs!!!…my father needed emergency surgery for a serious bowl obstruction. Afterwards while showing signs of significant congestion sent him home to open up bed space. The next day he was back at a proper hospital with double pneumonia and ileus which acts as a bowl obstruction after a night of projectile vomiting. Could have killed him. Brookhaven hospital was known as the county morgue, not much has changed since being taken over by NYU Langone

I am a 68 year old woman who went in with low sodium. They knew this at 805 pm. They then at 920 pm for some strange reason did an illicit drug panel on me . In NY state by law they need your permission to do this as I was fully lucid .Seems to be medicare fraud to me. I am already contacting the Medicare fraud department. This is still a terrible hospital

First off this is the worst hospital besides peconic and stonybrook it’s changed names so many times it needs to just close the emergency room is a joke over 5 hours in this place waiting they remodeled the hospital numerous times as well and still don’t have an efficient emergency room they made part of the waiting room into sections for patients to be seen as part of the emergency room 🙄really get your shit together all the money grants and taxes spent on this hospital and the 3 year project on the road for the hospital uncalled for the town really needs to just close this place knock it down and leave it at that
