I’ve been seeing Sheila Tucke for many years now. She has been very helpful in helping me work through my trauma and she is very easy to talk to. I’ve had many therapists over my lifetime and Sheila is one of my favorites.

I have had an exceptional experience working with Jannell. She consistently validates my feelings and provides thoughtful guidance that helps me process emotions in a healthy and constructive way. Through our work together, she has taught me a variety of skills that allow me to navigate daily challenges with greater confidence and resilience. I am deeply grateful to have her as my counselor and appreciate the meaningful impact she has had on my personal growth and well-being

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.

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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Medically supervised detox is the process of removing addictive substances from your body and managing the withdrawal symptoms in a medically supervised environment. Typically, this is the first step in the recovery process and lasts an average of 5-7 days, though the length can vary depending on your individual needs. Once your system is cleared of alcohol and drugs, you'll likely transition to an inpatient treatment program for the next phase of your recovery.

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.

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.

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

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.

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.

My name s Chris. I have the Bipolar disorder and I was fortunate to find Stony Brook Counseling. I have been meeting with Michelle Troyer for therapy and Irene Muchai for psychiatry and medication. The combination of seeing these women has been life-changing. I haven t felt this good in years and I am super grateful to have connected with them. The entire team, from receptionists to doctors are always happy to help and I couldn t recommend this office more.

If you like being treated like the next number in the deli line, this place is for you. Enjoy the rollercoaster ride of prescribing Drs/counselors/staff quitting every month(3yrs and SEVEN different Drs!) Also, the Russian roulette game of your meds actually being prescribed before said Dr quits. Not sure what goes on here but it seems like the opening for a horror thriller movie. How do you have SO MANY Drs quit..? Weird

You guys assigned me the therapist Jackie Parker. She does nothing but ask me "how does that make you feel?" Hasn't helped me at all in 6 months. No progress. I know it isn't you're entity's fault but it won't let me give her a review anywhere so I hope this makes it's way. Thr incompetence in the medical field has a butterfly affect on the world.

I went for my first appointment here yesterday. I clearly wrote on my intake form that I was looking for a new psychiatrist. Since the office requires you to see a counselor in order to see a psychiatrist, I had to go in to see one of their therapists. I asked for grief therapy since I have been seeing my therapist for 14 years and do not want to stop seeing her. The therapist was very surprised when I told her I have a therapist that I am still currently in care with. She did not know why I was there, even though I clearly wrote it on my paperwork. I explained to her that I am looking for a psychiatrist and that I had to see a counselor there also, in order to do so. So I asked for grief therapy, since my best friend of 16 years very recently passed away. She told me 3 separate times that it was office policy that I have to see her at least 3 times before she can maybe refer me to a psychiatrist, knowing that I am currently taking psychiatric medication. I work in a doctor's office myself. I know there are ways around things, and that when someone truly cares, they do what they can in order to help you. Isn't that what we're here for? To ultimately help people? I called and spoke with the office manager. I explained to her that I don't find it professional, compassionate or okay that any therapist would allow me to run out of my prescription medication, allowing me to no longer have the effects of my antidepressants in my system at all. How could someone, especially in the mental health field, be okay with that? How could she not offer to at least try to get me in sooner with a psychiatrist? I called and voiced my concerns/experience with the office manager. After her trying to only defend the office, she was willing to try to push me through with proper documentation, which I have. So why did the therapist not offer to try? I understand the drug epidemic going on around us. But just because some people are addicts/drug seekers, it doesn't mean everyone is. I discharged myself from the office. I DO NOT recommend this office to anyone that wants true loving care.

Patient for a year in 2017/2018. My prescribing doctor left the practice and the new guy (Dr. Z.) immediately called me non-compliant instead of reading the notes of the previous doctor or listening to me about what we had previously discussed. Therapist wasn't great either: wouldn't help stay on the topic I came in for, wouldn't give me "homework" or helpful suggestions of things to try between appointments. Front desk staff failed to track my payment accurately. I do NOT recommend this place at all.

For my first appointment, the therapist canceled on me the night before. So they set me up with another therapist, and I went to her the first time, for the consultation, and I thought she was nice and that it would be a good fit. Then I see her a second time, and she was 6 min late in coming to get me, and then, without warning, she ends the session 39 min later and tells me it's over and that sessions are only 45 min long. I had no idea the session would be only 45 min, and also, she only saw me for 39 min. What? I'll keep looking for another therapist and another location.
