Place will destroy you. It's just a hallway with bunch of beds and like 20 TV's playing all once. There's never any quiet time and nurses treat u like garbage. They don't want to give u detox medication and Everytime u talk to them they look at u like ur some sicko because u asked them for help. There's 1 place for water and u have to go a extra floor to eat so if I detoxing and can't evene walk u won't eat. Horrible horrible place disgusting. Don't listen to th 5 star reviews. One guy mentioned that they provide headphones for the TV's , ok? Then why I have to hear 10 TV's all at once?

I am really sorry you feel that way. Detox is the most brutal level of care because your body and brain wants whatever substance you were using. We are not here to make all the symptoms of withdrawal go away only your substance will do that we can only take the edge off and treat the symptoms. We try our best but we are not here to get you high or to numb your pain. We are known for having kind caring respectful staff with boundaries. I hope you practice Harm Reduction Be Safe and Be Well

Hi I am sorry you feel that way however we are not a hospital we are a freestanding facility. I also see you were never admitted here. I think you may be confusing us with another facility. I do however wish you the beat on your recovery journey. Happy Holidays Genesis Program Director

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.

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

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer an intermediate level of care for clients who do not require the kind of intensive supervision and support an inpatient program typically provides. Many clients transition into outpatient care immediately after exiting inpatient treatment. Others enter outpatient programs upon completing detox. Some facilities offer ambulatory medical detox for clients who do not require hospitalization. Most outpatient rehabs offer a combination of services, including addiction counseling, life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

Inpatient rehabs provide a space for clients to focus exclusively on their recovery while receiving intensive supervision and support. Inpatient treatment centers provide housing and food and most offer round-the-clock clinical care. Their primary treatment modalities typically consist of addiction counseling using various psychotherapeutic methods, including CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Many rehabs also provide specialized services for clients with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. Recovery-focused life skills training and holistic therapies are other common services.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox involves weaning your body off of addictive substances in a medically supervised environment. If you've become dependent on alcohol and/or drugs, quitting on your own can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. In medically assisted detox, a team of licensed medical professionals will help manage potential withdrawal symptoms, ensuring that you're as safe and comfortable as possible. This process typically takes about 5-7 days, although the length will depend on your individual needs.

Programs

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

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

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.

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.

Men and women in New York undergoing one on one individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment will address the unique psychological and emotional aspects that are often associated with addiction triggers. Your therapist helps you build a relapse prevention plan and set achievable goals to improve your mental health and achieve long term sobriety.

First off, I just want to say I never leave reviews, but felt like I needed to write this. Genesis is an amazing detox! I was there in 2020, ended up relapsing, came back on 10/14/21 and have been going strong since then! Genesis is clean, the food is good, the staff is kind and informative, and in general this is a great detox! I now work in the addiction field and ANY detox referral I have, goes straight to Genesis. For the people complaining about the "food", have clearly never been in the depths of addiction, where they went hungry for days on end. If you're expecting a 10-star resort, then Genesis is not the place for you. Now, if you want a clean and friendly place that will provide the "first step" into recovery and will detox you correctly, Genesis is a great detox. And for the people saying that "they heard everyone's tv's", no you didn't. They provide headphones, so no one hears anyone else's tv's. If no headphones are plugged in, then there is no noise coming from the actual TV. For the people that are complaining about how they run the facility, have clearly never went to a detox where they actually don't give two sh!ts about the patients. At Genesis, the staff is very informative and kind. They will talk to you for hours on end, just to talk to you. I felt like all my needs were met and they went above and beyond to make sure I was okay, comfortable, and safe. The detox itself is very comfortable (for me coming off fentanyl it was super comfortable) and for the most part, I felt pretty okay. Definitely give Genesis a chance! Would 100% recommend to family, friends, and any Clients I have that are interested in going to detox. - Katie Belau, CRPA @ The PAC Program :)

Thank you Katie! We work really hard to help those on their way to Hope & Healing! I will share your review with staff and thank you for referring others to us. Welcome to the world of treatments professionals!

If you are coming here in hopes of finding a detox with a staff that cares about addicts, this is not the place for you. This detox facility hires people with serious moral terptitude. Do you want to risk your life in a place that is staffed by people, mainly Kerissa Tebona, who go home and live stream addictivly making fun of addicts who have passed away from addiction? Who spew racist slurs, smoke marijuana driving in their car all on live stream. Someone who is on felony probation for being so distracted by her live stream that she crashed her car, injuring her child and the passenger of the other car? Their staff needs detox as much as any patient, and that is scary and immoral when lives are at stake. My mother is an RN who works on the mental health floor of the hospital where they also have patients suffering from addiction admitted. She can't even post her opinion regarding the election, but you allow that woman's behavior?

Hi sorry you feel that way I am just curious as to when you were a patient here. I also want to assure you the person you are speaking does not work at this program maybe you are confused. I can tell you that many counselors medical processionals and others that work in the chemical dependency field are in recovery and have at times personal pasts that are of no concern to the employers because that recovering staff member is no longer living their past lives

When were you at the facility? How can you give a review when you have never been a patient here?

Steven Geykhman

Personally I never had a problem there it is what it is if your there for the right reason. The food could have been better but hey it's not 5 star resort lol.

Thank you Steven for your review. We appreciate your recognition of the fact we are a detox not a resort. We try to keep the facility clean and the staff to be kind and respectful. As far as the food goes it is difficult to please everyone’s preferences but we make sure our vendor provides healthy meals. We wish you well on your Recovery Journey!

Connie in administratoin is as rude as can be! Luckyily for patients other staff are kind and welcoming to community members such as myself looking to collaborate.

When community entrepreneur's contact administration in the middle of a work day is unsettling particularly in the past you have informed them your business is not interested. We support the work of community members as we did making a video with our local NYPD Precinct and their Youth Program. We cannot financially support individual projects in trade for advertising in independent videos. This review is not from a patient thus when an administrator such as myself states they are not interested if that is considered rude then my apologizes. The issue is, it is appropriate to send an email with a proposal as done in the past and not to expect a conversation mid work day when the priority of the Administrator is to make sure our patients and staff are well cared for. Yes, our staff is exceptional, professional and extremely kind to those who "cold call" and of course our patient's.

There were 2 good workers there, other than that my fiance got his items stolen and it's almost like a mental hospital in there. Even the nurse told me most people come straight off the street to go in there, most acting crazy and even some in hospital gowns. My fiance stated people were pacing back and forth not giving any sleep, the place smelled like pee and feces. Nothing was clean, the nurse gave an attitude also they don't separate the women and men. IF SOMEONE KNOWS A BETTER PLACE FOR ALCHOLISM PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

I am editing the reply because it was not done by a Genesis Employee. We have in the last 5 years NEVER had a patients items stolen. We do not admit pts directly from the <br>street. Pts do not wear hospital gowns pts wear their own clothing. Our facility is super clean and our staff is kind and respectful. In all honesty I don’t think your fiancee was in our facility. We are a detox only . We are a coed facility with women in one area and there are-strict rules that are upheld about pts going into one another’s private spaces. Whoever is changing our replies please STOP because they are not addressing any concerns that the-reviewer wrote about. I hope your fiancee gets the help they are seeking and we wish you well. Respectfully Genesis Program Director
