Same treatment plan as Stony Brook University, some units even share the same music rec therapist John. Mindy basically carried the whole unit on her back during my most recent stay and is a gem. Ephram the nurse is always a joy to be around and makes trusting him enough to take meds no questions asked easy. Nurse Jackie is also amazing and was super helpful when I was having roommate problems. Antonio is a little out there but fun to talk to, he had this brilliant idea of a resume building group, and I totally agree. In fact I think you should expand that into having the patients help with maintenance work on the building. Aplonia, Jojo, Pierre and Andre are nice too. Troy is more fun to talk to than Antonio. Also there's a set of 3 food workers that is a set of triplet brothers, just so no ones psychosis gets so bad they don't eat or something. Could try switching to Optimum internet since they offer more bandwith then FIOS. Also maybe give the staff unit cell phones to look up things for patients or listen to music and stuff. Also it can help keep the night staff up if they need it and not have HIPPA violations or anything. The floor supervisor Latoya is great, but the staff definitely need de-esclataion re-training after what happened with William and Donna. Also the best pharmacologists I've seen on the Island imo. Maybe make it easier for patients to get medical attention if needed like at South Oaks. An ice/water vending machine on unit would be a good place to start.

I wish there was a higher button to press than a 5 star to this hospital. I feel like people only Comment when they have a bad experience which I find it to be so ungrateful. People forget to give a feedback on good experiences. Everyone is so rushed to move on And never say thank you I can’t brag enough about this place and the staff. The nurses of the unit I was in are my biggest heroes. I don’t think these women get enough credit for what they do in daily basis. They have the hardest jobs of All. Ive experienced a PTSD episode a week ago and The next thing I know, I’m in the emergency room somewhere in Queens. Then I was transferred to Brunswick Hospital a few days later. I’ve never left a hospital just feeling so much better than I was before. This hospital made me feel that for the first time in my life. I suffer from mental illness. I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD, bipolar depression, ADHD and the list goes on and on… but at the end of the day I feel like it’s all about the compassion and empathy that comes out of all us humans 🙏🏻🫶 Kudos to you, Brunswick Hospital for doing such a great job and making us feel safe and heard.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Brunswick Hospital Center works with several private insurance providers, 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

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 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 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.

Went here back in the 90's as a pit stop before going to Sagamore children's center. This particular hospital 🏥 was ok. The only complaint for me was we had to be up very early and we're not allowed to go to bed before 10 at night. And the majority of us were on a lot of medicine 💊 so we were tired. They did take us in trips and we went outside to play walk and visit the commissary. They had a navy blue Buick station wagon. We went on field trips. Adventure land and Nathan's hot dogs. Was a place we went to a lot in the summer 😂 I was at this hospital during the OJ Simpson trial. Yes it's been that long..

Physical fights broke out daily, either staff or residents stole the patient's belongings, and they discharged her to a inn for 1 night while claiming it was a shelter, meaning she as a vulnerable adult was left homeless the next day. The social worker Christine was known throughout the unit for her inaction. The patient's mother called and emailed multiple times and received no response. The doctors made no modifications to the patient's treatment plan and were mostly unavailable to the patients. Yet they did not even have good security- there was no checking process for patient belongings brought by visitors. If the patient had been looking for contraband or if I as the visitor did not keep close eye on what was meant to be given to the patient and what contraband items were meant to go into storage with her belongings, many items could have been easily smuggled in. Ridiculous. If you have a choice, never send a loved one here.

the worst psych ward to ever exist. it needs to be investigated. my temp was 93.2 and they did nothing about it. they wake you up, the psychiatrist tried to put me on an anti psychotic which I did not need. I was withdrawing from a diff med. my "social worker" with all the piercings and tattoos, I forgot your name because my time there was so traumatic, she did not write down any of my visitors so my family drove 3 hours for no reason.. wrote nothing down, so careless. when it was time to sleep all I heard was the workers talk about trying to find a different job outside my door very loud. they don't do anything to make you feel better. in fact they're should be a class action lawsuit against this place. it still gives me PTSD even after a year. worse than jail

This place is hell. I was admitted to this psych hospital 2 times once in august of 2025 and November of 2025. They completely ignored me for days. I only got to see the doctor once or twice in my 2 week stay. I had severe depression anxiety and bipolar i could barely get out of bed. They would threaten to keep you longer if you slept allot but gave medication that makes you drowsy, make it make sense. My first stay i met some kind patients that were in there for the same reason I was in. They treated me like a human when the nurses and doctors treat you like a prisoner. Phone time once or twice if you were lucky 5 minutes max. Food was trash. I gained weight being in there from all the medication being given to me. Second time i was admitted was the worst. There were people in there with homicidal thoughts threatening to rape women in there. I felt unsafe. I told the social worker i was left there for another week. A fight broke out i had to stop it because the nurses just watched and waited until they seen me jump in to stop it. A lady dropped down to the floor having a seizure and they took forever to get to her. I had to find my own therapist and psychiatrist to get discharged. If I didn’t have any they would keep me longer. Worst experience ever please do not send your loved ones here:(
