About Good Samaritan Hospital

This facility offers a detox program that incorporates medical, clinical, and spiritual care. While here, the medical treatment plan helps to identify any predisposed medical and psychiatric issues that may be contributing to your substance use disorder. They’ll also educate you about your disease and go over your choices for treatment.

While going through detox, you may use medication assisted therapy. This evidence-proven medicine can help make you more comfortable while going through the withdrawal symptoms of detox. You will be monitored by a medical team during your entire detox.

After detox, you’ll then be treated by your team with your own individualized treatment plan. You’ll have ongoing treatment of physical and psychological issues that may be contributing to your substance use.

My experience at the Emergency Room registration desk was very disappointing. I was assisted by Stephanie Gonzalez, and I found her attitude to be unprofessional and lacking empathy. While I was waiting, I noticed that other patients checking in also appeared to be receiving the same type of dismissive treatment. What upset me the most was what happened before her shift ended. I asked her approximately how long it would take for my family member to be seen by a doctor. I understand that she may not have been able to provide an exact wait time, but instead of offering any guidance or directing me to someone who could help, she simply responded, “My shift is over, I’m leaving,” and walked away while I was still speaking. When you come to an emergency room with a sick family member, you are already under a great deal of stress and anxiety. The least you expect is to be treated with courtesy, professionalism, and basic compassion. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I hope hospital management reviews this matter and reinforces the importance of patient care, communication, and empathy for families seeking help during difficult situations.

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

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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.

For many different stages and therapies offered during addiction treatment, it's essential to offer 24-hour clinical care in New York. often involves medication treatment for drug or alcohol detox. The withdrawal symptoms experienced during detox can be dangerous, but having medical experts on-site around the clock means someone is always there to step in and provide emergency medical care when and if it is ever needed.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

Not a good hospital, the ER service is the slowest, it took them forever to take me in and to help me. PLEASE UNDERSTAND that when someone shows up at the ER is because they need ASAP care! You really need to start caring more about the people that go to you for help.

I am extremely disappointed with the level of care and communication my family and I received during our recent visit to the Emergency Room at Good Samaritan Hospital. We came to the ER seeking medical attention and understood that emergency departments can be busy and that critical patients may need to be prioritized. However, what we experienced went far beyond a normal wait. We waited for more than three hours without ever being seen by a doctor. During that entire time, no one provided us with updates, explanations for the delay, or any indication of when we could expect to receive care. As our concerns grew, I approached a nurse and politely asked if she knew when a doctor might be available to see us. Her response was, “I’m just the nurse, I don’t know.” I found this answer to be dismissive and unprofessional. Even if she did not have an exact answer, I would have expected some effort to assist us, provide an update, or direct us to someone who could. Instead, we were left feeling ignored and unimportant. The biggest issue was not simply the wait itself—it was the complete lack of communication and attentiveness. Patients and their families are often scared, uncomfortable, and looking for reassurance when they come to the ER. Basic communication and compassion should be expected. Unfortunately, we received neither. After waiting more than three hours without seeing a doctor and receiving little to no information from staff, we felt we had no choice but to leave without receiving treatment. It is deeply concerning that patients can spend hours in an emergency room without being evaluated or given meaningful updates about their care. I hope hospital leadership takes this feedback seriously. The ER staff should be better equipped to communicate with patients, provide updates regarding delays, and treat people with the respect and concern they deserve. Our experience left us feeling frustrated, disappointed, and without confidence in the care being provided.
