I was admitted to the emergency room on February 20, 2025. I got 3 stents in my LAD; upon discharge, they did not prescribe me Aspirin nor give me a prescription for Plavix, which are the most imminent life-threatening medications for my heart failure, which is why I was admitted. Additionally, they did not discharge me with a prescription of Entresto, a beta blocker, a major medication to improve my heart function. This was not discovered until my first follow-up doctor's appointment a week after my discharge (with the wrong doctor), at the nurse practitioner's direction. Heart Failure Patient Beware!! This easily could have been the end of my story.

About 8 months ago, went to Good Samaritan for a cut. First they laughed about going to the hospital for the cut. Then they just put glue, which came off 2 days later and when a provider in the city fixed it, they asked why the doctor didn't put stitches. Then my insurance paid for the service owed but the doctor in the hospital sent the bill to collections even though we verified repeatedly that the payment was sorted out by insurance. 8 months later we're talking to a debt collector to sort this out because the doctor that sent the bill is not responsive. I would actively avoid this hospital if I were to need healthcare.

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

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
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.
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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
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-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

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.

In April and last year I visited the mediocre emergency room of this hospital and it caught my attention that they always have the same process in which the only thing that matters from the moment you enter is the signature for the insurance authorization, while in the room the doctor doesn't even examine you, it's all the nurse and after 6 hours in the room with severe pain it was not possible to find the cause of my pain and they also didn't give me any medication to calm it down, just like that they sent me home and the two visits were the same, but I'm sure that in order to collect from the insurance there is no negligence, it's not a hospital where the patient can find help and the truth is the comments described here certify it.

It was my worse experience ever, I cried in the emergency room and no one looked at me. They ignored me. I felt like nothing. I don't suggest anyone going to this hospital. They didn't give me a room I slept in the hallway for 2 nights till they finally admitted me to the best hospital. But I don't suggest anyone using good Samaritan hospital.

Went to this hospital to see a doctor (Deborah M. Friedman, MD) in 2019 for a follow up for a heart problem. First I go there, and the nursing staff are taking my height like i am a kid- and to an adult that is just short, it's kind of insulting. Then i met with the doctor- part of my follow up was an echocardiogram, and a heart ultrasound. I was wearing a bralette, one with no wires. I asked the doctor nicely about wearing my bralette, she said no. So off it went. The sticky pads to the exam do kind of hurt when taken off, but it was an easy feat. Next the heart ultrasound in a cold room with machines. Not to mention more sensitive to the cold due to my thyroid problems. Technician was fine, and pleasant. Went well. Then got the follow up words from my doctor and again- not understanding why i couldn't wear a bralette- She got annoyed, but the technician said in a pleasant tone, oh next time you can wear a bralette. The doctor heard this and got all bent out of shape. What if someone wanted a little modesty? Especially given that a person may be cold due to their condition as well? Unfortunately if I am not respected, I have a less of a chance to follow up.
