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.

We were having such terrible issues that we had to call the hospitalist to intervene. The hospitalist was of no use. I got the feeling that so many people complain that they are immune to the situation. There is a reason that this Hospital rating is 2.7. I would suggest using Westchester Hospital.If you want to go to die, use Good Samaritan hospital in Suffern.

I wish there would be a negative star option we had a terrible birthing experience
From the moment we arrived, Dr. Allan was insistent on pressuring us to induce labor, despite our explicit wishes not to do so. There was no medical reason to induce, and I found his lack of sensitivity unacceptable.
The situation escalated when my husband tried to advocate for me. Dr. Allan was dismissive and disrespectful, refusing to make eye contact and stating he would only speak to me, disregarding my husband's presence and concerns. This behavior added to our discomfort during such a vulnerable time.
Additionally, during delivery and the post-delivery treatments, Dr. Allan was rough and not gentle at all. His handling during the removal of the placenta was particularly distressing, contributing to an overall unpleasant experience.

Went to the emergency room at 12:30 AM for concern about a heart attack. They hooked me up to their ekg, pulse and BP monitors and drew blood. Other than filling out their admittance forms, that was the last I saw anyone, in spite of the fact that I became unattached to all of the monitors at around 2 or 2:15. They claimed they were constantly monitoring me but couldn't have been as the machines were unattached for the last hour. I checked myself out a few minutes ago at 3:15 AM "against medical advice " which is a laugh because I never got any. Worst hospital anywhere. Avoid at all costs. Actually had a lady (Nurse?) yell at me for asking to go to the restroom because they were busy with more serious cases (mind you, I thought I was having a heart attack). When I left, this person was sleeping at a desk outside my room. As I left, a nurse yanked the IV out of my arm and didn' properly bandage it. I had to go back in for more bandaging while I waited for my ride as I bled all over my clothes.
UPDATE-
I called the patient care number two days ago as Good Samaritan asked me to do (in their review response today which is the same response they give to everyone who has a bad experience). I got apologies and assurances that I would hear back from the head of that department. It's two days plus later and I have not heard back.

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.
