If I could give this place zero stars I would. Last night I was taken here because my heart rate was at 133 bpm. I suffer from panic attacks but never had my heart rate rate as elevated as this. As soon as I walked in, it smelled like hot garbage and urine. There was no AC. I will include a pic of their state of the art AC. Registration is also still done by paper and not electronically. I finally get taken to a room and when they give me a blanket although it appeared clean it smelled like urine. I got up and asked if I could leave and they told me I needed to speak to a doctor before I left because in the condition I was in, I could not leave. I have worked in healthcare for 13 years and as a patient, I have a right to leave AMA (against medical advice) which would entail signing paperwork acknowledging that if something happens when I leave that hospital is not liable. After an hour of sitting there with my heart racing still I ask where the doctor is because no nurse came by to do vitals and at the very least an EKG. I told them if it was truly a panic attack then to give me a Propranolol or a Xanax so I could at least calm down because hyperfixating on the noise and the smell was making me feel worse. About an hour after that they finally gave me a Xanax and send me home. I have been to many cities in this hospital and I thought Brookdale was horrible but Interfaith definitely takes the cake. I would not send not even an animal to be seen there. This was horrible! I thank God he was able to keep me sane and I was able to walk out of there alive. I hope to never again have to step foot there again.

My family member who was a patient, experienced extremely poor treatment during his stay at Interfaith Medical Center. He was repeatedly neglected by staff by not receiving his pain meds in a timely manner, left in a hot, poorly ventilated room with no working air conditioning, and denied basic requests like ice water for hours. Staff also left unused medical equipment (syringes and needles) on his eating tray, creating a serious health hazard. At one point, he was kept in a room with an irate dementia patient after the nurse walked out and held the door shut and refused to open the door — even as my father yelled and banged on the wall for help. Visitors, including a wheelchair bound family member, had to beg staff to take action. The staff even ignored my phone call made to the nurse's station for over 2 hrs. Overall, his care was marked by neglect, unsafe conditions, and a lack of respect or urgency from hospital staff. No patient — especially a vulnerable one — should be treated this way.

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

outpatient iconOutpatient

inpatient iconInpatient

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

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 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

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.

The Emergency Department is horrible. It looks like s horror movie. The nurses are short staff, i was stuck in there for 4 days and saw the same nurses and saw a male nurse sleeping on a chair, very unprofessional, and there was a male nurse with tattoos all over his head and body with earrings on and other male nurse who does not respect women privacy when I asked. Absolutely will not recommended. Its congested with homeless people and Doctors eating dinner at the the stations and not seeing the patients.

Dr Brian Hall and his team were amazing. I came in for hernia surgery scheduled for 7:30 am. They were on time, very professional and at the same time very courteous. I was so nervous because it was my first surgery and Im in my 50’s. The anesthesiologist was soo funny, he made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Nurse Sang in recovery was a sweetheart. My surgery was successful and I am very pleased with the whole experience. Dr Hall is very very good. Knowledgeable, relaxed, courteous and professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

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!!

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.
