Some of the staff members are really sweet and care about the patients. Other staff members just ignore you outright. The place is dirty and filthy and none of the doctors help. Went there thinking I d get professional help but the patients were more helpful than the staff

This is a very bad institution, they spoiled my psychology, they made promises but did not fulfill them, it is very bad, the nurses are shouting, the staff behaves very badly, there is no hygiene, there is no privacy in the bathrooms, it was a very bad experience, they treat me so-called, but then I got worse, they ruined my psychology, they destroyed my dreams, my life, no one should put their loved ones here, they make the patient sicker, it is a terrible institution and should be closed down, I was treated inhumanely for the first time in my life in this hospital.

Accepted Insurance

Brunswick Hospital 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

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.

My name is Kai and I’ve had a terrible experience with this establishment. My girlfriend of 2 years got sent here. She was in a previous hospital and they told her she was going somewhere else and then they sent her here at the last second. Their website says you have 10 mins to talk to the patient and im lucky if I even get 5 mins and when she says hey it hasn’t been 10 they tell her get off right now it’s been 10 mins. Which is stupid Im literally on a iPhone I can see how long our call has been. I hear the staff sometimes over the phone and sometimes it’s like they don’t even see her as human like they will yell at her to get off and treat her like a dog I get being tough but they’re human too. Not all of them but it’s very unprofessional. She would call me everyday or I would try and call her. Their visiting hours are from 2pm to 3pm so it makes it really hard for me to visit due to my busted knee from getting hit by a car. She would call me everyday and we would talk about whatever or her day or how much we missed each other like normal stuff so we’re talking so one day we’re talking like normal and she says she would call me later when she can like usual. Then she just up and vanished. I thought maybe she wanted space and needed time. So I called the facility and they told me she was still there. Fast forward a week and I call again asking hey can I speak with her idk what happened. They basically tell me sorry we can’t because of hipaa and I get that but I’m confused about everything here. She would call me everyday and it’s like she vanished like a ghost. I called there and I’ve had many different patients tell me she’s not there. I can’t tell if they are just like that or telling me something because it’s every patient. I call the facility the next week and they tell me she still there. I ask about the situation and they tell me to talk to her social worker Lauren. I call. Never picks up. I HAVE LEFT SEVERAL VOICE MESSAGES AND THEY NEVER CALL BACK. Then im told again it is because of hipaa. I talk to the front desk then they tell me she can talk to me because I’m asking about visitation. Which I was told from before I was able to see her whenever I want just in that time frame. I call the social worker again doesn’t pick. Another week later I finally able to visit her. So I drive out 30 mins to go see her and talk to the front desk worker. I tell her about my situation and she laughs about it and just said I can’t do anything but u can leave. Now I get upset and call her out for her shitty behavior and then they threaten me with the cops. I now haven’t heard from her in a month and I don’t know what happened to her. It’s like she disappeared and never existed. Keiry I hope you see this one day because I haven’t stopped trying and I still am. IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE LIKE IF YOU TRULY LOVE THEM PLZ DONT PUT THEM IN HERE. Maybe my situation is different because she’s my girlfriend but it’s like I keep going in circles over and over again trying to reach out. They told me she needs to give consent to talk to me but she was talking to me just fine everyday. Maybe it’s me but the staff here are incompetent at their jobs. I’m not saying this for all of the them but from the staff I’ve talked to they keep sending me in circles for a month and now idk where she went. I love you keiry and I always will. If you love someone don’t hurt them like this. Don’t put them here. Sorry if my story is all over the place but I needed to tell my story to tell people plz avoid this place and I never make reviews on anything. If anyone has sound advice I’d appreciate it but I would not recommend this place never in a million years. Maybe she’s done with our relationship now but this hospital experience at least from my side honestly has been awful and for a place about helping mental illness it sure is making mine worse it’s ironic but that’s my review. Sorry it’s all over the place I hope you got something out of it. I miss you keiry. If you have advice or know what I should do please email me by Kaikalel25@gmail.com

Horrible customer service and medical care. Do not go there! They did not care about the patient and most of the staff is unwelcoming and have no empathy or heart.

Horrible, absolutely disgusting the way the family members are treated. First I am an advocate for individuals receiving help for issues. I had a family member sent there to deal with an issue. For over 10 days I was only allowed to speak to his doctor once. You can't call the doctor because his voice mailbox is always full. He refused to speak to our therapist. No administration staff will speak to you there to assure your family member is getting the care they need. When my family member was discharged, my wife was told that she couldn't wait inside, so she had to wait outside in the rain for my family member. When he came out there was no staff member with him unbelievable, you say it cant gets worse it does. My wife called the social worker on Monday and was told by her that she didn't need to speak to her . My wife was taken back because of her response. But my wife called again on Tuesday just to confirm that my family member was going to be discharged on Wednesday. The social worker than proceeded to ask for our insurance information, asked again for our therapist and psychiatrist names and phone numbers again. I found this unprofessional because your asking this the day before a discharge. They do no treatment there all they do is stabilize the patients. It's your responsibility to find a therapist and psychiatrist. If not your discharge will be delayed. Imagine the stress this causes in a household? You find out that a family member is in a psychiatric hospital and you have little or no access to the doctor. Than we were told our family member was going to be there 3 days, 7days , 7 to 10 days and maybe 14.. This is unacceptable. How is it that a person having a mental episode asks for help and the people that are supposed to help him, hand them all sorts of papers to sign. .In other words we won't/can't help you unless you sign these documents. Basically my family member signed their rights away. PLEASE IF YOU GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS,DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SIGNING. The nurses were professional and pleasant. My family member could not sleep at night because several patients screaming in the middle of the night. Do you do know how they handled that, they gave my family member sleeping medication. It's the receptionist in the front who are rude. When you ask them if you can speak to anyone, your told there in meetings and no one is available or they are seeing patients. Then I said I will wait and I was bluntly told " you can't stand there , you have to wait outside ". There are no tables or chairs in the entrance area. I will be contacting the Attorney General about this matter because no other parent should have to go through this.

Ever since I was transferred here from a hospital in queens In 2019 I always get Flashbacks of my two-three week stay there I think i developed some sort of ptsd from it constantly. But goes to show that the level of care and the whole say worsened my mentally.

its an ok place after all is a hospital. Dr tends to not fill in Rxes or call in placebos. I don’t understand why you can’t be DIRECT and say I don’t need medication. My nurse said he doesn’t believe in psychotropic medication and didn’t like my doctor, that was honest. Again be more honest about what you are doing.

My best friend of 5 years was just admitted to this hospital. I am genuinely worried. I couldn’t get in contact with her until today. She called me and sounded completely on drugs, it was terrifying. I’m very worried about her. I hope they aren’t drugging her with things she doesn’t need. I’m looking at the reviews and it’s making me very scared!

My mom was sent here multiple times and everytime they discharged her without medication and discharged her when she clearly wasn’t ready to be. My mom has been in and out of psych hospitals for a year and she’s currently there now and they are trying to discharge her AGAIN meanwhile she’s still not well. Dr. Con i believe his name is is responsible for this. They will be hearing from my family’s attorney soon! This hospital is a joke just throws a mental illness person to the street setting them up for failure.
