Shaquana Williams, Michelle Powell and Jeanne Ngoma goes to the extreme to make sure your expectations are exceeded, literally. They go out their way to make sure you have whatever you need and more. Most of the time they were each on different shifts but each one of them always made sure to check up on me I'm still In shock. We need more women like them.

I had a scheduled surgery here recently. Dr. Brian Hall was nothing short of exceptional. He was very thorough, kind, and really listened to any questions/concerns I had. The staff of nurses and anesthesiologist were so nice and comforting. I was obviously nervous going into this surgery, but the staff made me feel extremely relaxed and I was in good hands which is huge. The NP, Yvonne Alexis, was also very sweet & helpful!!

Accepted Insurance

Interfaith Medical Center – Atlantic Avenue works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

In New York you'll find substance abuse treatment programs that can help you address your addiction, and any co-occurring mental health disorders. These programs utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches to help you achieve recovery and new tools to sustain it. With various treatment options available, including outpatient, inpatient, and residential programs, you'll be able to find the resources and right level of care you need to effectively treat your addiction.

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

During dialectical behavior therapy in New York, you and your therapist will look for triggers and patterns that are guiding your emotions. This involves keeping a diary of your emotions and situations and sharing this each week with the therapist. This information will determine what you work on in each session.

Go anywhere you can but here. I have never felt compelled to write a review of a medical facility before but this place is condemnable. The receptionist was rude and unresponsive; I felt like if I’d walked in with my arm hanging off she still would have ignored me. The entire facility is FILTHY; trash on the floor, everything dirty, flies everywhere, no A/C. While in the waiting room I watched a man have a seizure on the floor, with his head in close proximity to potential hazards, while several nurses stood around simply watching him and not making any interventions for his safety. At some point someone yelled to ask why they weren’t helping and one of them actually shrugged. He stopped seizing and they walked around his motionless body on the floor. For myself, I had to wait 4 hours for substandard care, when I could have been in very real danger. I had all the symptoms of DVT and a possible pulmonary embolism; which I was at higher risk for having been mostly immobilized in a walking boot for 4 weeks. I spoke to 3 separate friends who are experienced doctors and all said I urgently needed a CT scan and an ultrasound. I was informed this wouldn’t be possible as no one on staff knew how to do it. You cannot legally call yourself an emergency care if you cannot provide basic emergency care services. Luckily my d-dimer came back negative, however I was dismayed that beforehand as soon as I described my symptoms to the doctor he immediately told me it was anxiety. I was sitting completely calmly and speaking evenly and clearly with nothing to suggest anxiety. Seriously do not go here, I would be absolutely terrified to have any kind of surgery done in this place.

On Monday, June 23rd, I walked into Interfaith in extreme pain and was throwing up stomach bile and stomach fluids. I received the worst care I’ve ever, ever received in the ER, so much so that I just followed up with my PCP provider for an appointment and when I told her I went to Interfaith for my pain her immediate response was “WHY?” They have a horrible reputation and it’s probably better dying than stepping foot into that facility. Dr. Yolande Thomas should not be a doctor just on account of her lack of empathy and horrible attitude towards people that are literally sick. I entered the hospital at 11:30am. The nurse (also completely horrible) didn’t see me until 1, drew my blood and when I asked for an IV (I wasn’t able to hold down fluids or food orally for days) and pain medication she said that the DOCTOR SAID I can’t have any. This is before I even see the doctor. Around 2, I meet Dr, Thomas for the first time, she doesn’t ask me how I’m feeling, she doesn’t ask me why I’m there - she simply says my blood tests came back “normal” and that I was free to go. She didn’t tell me what they tested for. When I told her about my vommitting and pain and asked for pain medication, she immediately gave me attitude, told me to follow up with my PCP, took over an hour to order the IV (according to the NURSE) and after that ensued the longest FIVE hours in my life simply trying to seek care. I was in the ER for over 8 hours and not once did she ask me about my condition. I NEVER received any pain medication - around 7pm the nurse tried to give me Ibroprofen on a literal empty stomach that hasn’t had food for days. When I told the nurse I probably shouldn’t take Ibuprofen on account of my empty stomach, she rolled her eyes and threw the medicine in the trash, and told me I would have to wait a while for pain reliever because she was busy. How inhumane and rude is that? I am literally in the ER and you’re upset with me for asking for pain medication and advocating for myself? The nurse name is nurse Georgina. The sad part is I haven’t even gotten to the worst parts of this story. I will be speaking up and reporting a very detailed report to the DOH but wanted to leave a public facing review here to warn anybody of ever thinking of going there. The worst part is, it’s 4 days later and the pain I’m in has only gotten worse. I fear it’s kidney stones, due to the location of the pain and my family history. The pain is horrific and not only did I receive nothing while at Interfaith but I could have found relief if I simply, went to a different facility that actually cared about sick people.
