I gave birth here twice the second time the nurse in the mother baby unit on my first night was horrible to me and my newborn. I don't even know her name she never introduced herself or gave me a call bell. She was very cold and gave nasty looks to me and my baby. That's no way to welcome a newborn into the world hours old. I was in pain the entire night and just suffered through it. The way women are dying during or after birth is alarming. That's how I felt that night. I was crying, and my newborn was crying. I would never recommend Brooklyn Hospital to anyone.

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

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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Clients who enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) are typically either in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that increases their relapse risk. These programs promote clients' sustained sobriety through robust support, including multiple, extended care sessions per week. Intensive outpatient treatment often encompasses an array of services, including psychotherapy, recovery education, and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and meditation. Many outpatient rehabs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT).
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.
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

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.

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 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

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New York is a short term therapeutic method used to treat substance use and mental health disorders. CBT typically lasts from five to 20 sessions, based on the individual's needs.

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 involves working through the psychological and emotional impact of a traumatic event. You learn to identify the triggers and develop coping mechanisms that build a sense of safety and trust in yourself.

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.

Family therapy helps individual members of the family unit navigate the complexities of addiction. Therapists provide you with the tools you need to improve communication skills and conflict resolution. When families work together, they can support their loved one's recovery and help to restore balance and harmony within the household.

Coping with day to day living is a challenge while in addiction recovery. Life skills training helps you learn how to manage daily tasks and deal with stress in healthy ways. This is key to long term recovery.

THE WORST HOSPITAL EVER. Everyone is covering , my family member has been here for 9 days, and we have never seen an actual experienced doctor. She came in for a normal procedure, and she ended up even worse. They are all covering. Also, they all say something different from the other covering team. It takes them forever to give you discharge papers, and at the end, they don't explain to you anything.

I had to go to emergency room one year, they took good care of me but took longer than 2 hour to get back my test results more than any other hospital I experienced, but I just wanna say I'm rooting for you Brooklyn hospital I hope you guys get all the help you need to recover and continue to be the heroes you guys are , saving and helping people. God Bless you Awesome people !! At far Rockaway hospital in Queens they have words of inspiration over the load speaker for the staff periodically I think this is such a great idea for the hard working staff to get daily inspired this is something other hospitals can consider to lift every one spirits .

Our experience at this Brooklyn hospital was deeply disappointing. It felt like a CHECKLIST, not actual CARE. We were asked MULTIPLE TIMES about circumcision—even after we CLEARLY declined. VACCINES were pushed, despite us saying we’d like to WAIT. Then our newborn was given CHLAMYDIA medication—even though the mother had TESTED NEGATIVE. We were told, “It’s just POLICY.” Every procedure required OUR SIGNATURE—meaning if something went wrong, WE were responsible. It felt like they cared more about LIABILITY than LISTENING. This may be “standard procedure” to them, but to us, it felt like being processed—not treated. If you choose this hospital, be ready to SPEAK UP and STAND YOUR GROUND.

Here’s the truth: Hospitals don’t treat you or your baby like human beings—they treat you like parts on an assembly line. They don’t ask for consent—they push for compliance. I had to say “We’re not savages” just to stop them from forcing circumcision. They kept pushing vaccines after we said no. Then, without reason, they gave my newborn meds for chlamydia—even though the mother tested clean. Why? Because that’s what the policy says—not what the patient needs. This isn’t care—it’s cold, industrial protocol. You’re rushed through like a product. And every procedure they push? They make you sign for it—so when it goes wrong, you take the fall, not them. They hide behind clipboards, paperwork, and “standard practices.” But their real priority is billing codes and legal cover—not your baby’s health. Speak up. Ask questions. Refuse assembly-line medicine.

pretty slow and negligent. go to a different hospital if you need medical attention! seriously. nobody enjoys their time being wasted. especially for an establishment to call themselves a hospital, you would expect that they would take care of their patients with patience and consideration!

During my recent visit (4/30/25), I was scheduled to see the orthodontist, Reena at the Oral Surgeon Office. While she initially came across as warm and friendly, her tone and comments during our interaction left me feeling uncomfortable. As a 23-year-old Black woman seeking options to achieve a perfect smile, I expected a collaborative and respectful discussion about treatment plans. Unfortunately, the orthodontist only suggested Invisalign and did not offer any alternative options, which felt limiting and dismissive. What was more concerning were the subtle microaggressions I experienced. She made assumptions about my age and financial status, suggesting that I should consider postponing treatment—implying that affordability would be an issue for me. These assumptions were not only incorrect (as I came prepared to pay in full) but also highly inappropriate and unprofessional. My experience has made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable continuing my care at this practice. It's essential for healthcare professionals, especially those working in diverse communities, to practice cultural competence and eliminate bias from patient interactions. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and without judgment, regardless of background or appearance.

This is not by any means a Patient Centered facility. Most staff are pleasant but are extremely limited in their abilities to help. Doctors are not visible seeking only to do the basics while making minimal eye contact. I’ve been a hospital administrator for my whole career and I couldn’t wait to leave this place. Policies and procedures need to be rewritten. Its a shame.
