Here Hispanics are not treated the same as others. I have had my sister here for 7 days and they sent her home in two without having woken up from two attacks, she came back and we are still here to find someone to feed her it is a hassle no one does it to find someone to change the liquids I also think that here it is only for dark-skinned and Americans who speak English

This is the worst hospital. Waiting over a year to receive an amendment on a death certificate, that the Dr made a mistake on. Stay far away from this hospital.

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.

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.

I had to go to the hospital this week(twice) Remembering that they really saved me when I had COVID in 2021. I returned to IMC, well THEY ARE STILL #1 in My list. Although they get more than their fair share of rude & crazy people in the Registration area, the ENTIRE staff never, never lost their empathy, their desire to help the sick and their business composition. When you got inside the ER part was where they really SHINED you felt much better allready, like you was inside of a well run ER. IMC may NOT be in a fancy area of Brooklyn, may Not be a fancy hospital like those in the city...but many other hospitals need the the type of nurses IMC has ( LIKE B.CAMBELL) and the director of ER MS. ALSTON, (if I remember correcty) whom TAKE PRIDE in their facility regardless of what they have and whatever city grants they get to do their jobs well, ALL the staff from the cleaners to the security guards where on point. if I wasn't retired I will go to work with them in a heartbeat. My sincere gratitud for a JOB WELL DONE since 2021 when I belive I was there the 1st time!! THANKS! ms hyland!

The worst hospital. My 12-year-old daughter was in the ER for over three hours with a dislocated ankle, and they didn't even lay a hand on her. They didn't treat her. In the end, I had to take her to another hospital. They have no air conditioning, no pediatric ward, and they put the children with the adults. Horrible care here

"Homeless Shelter with Sub-par Medical Care" (I could write an essay elaborating, and maybe one day I will, but for now use your imagination).

Horrible care. They don't treat you like a human being and keep you there just to shell out money from you. I wasn't seen by the doctor until a week later. They did not administer the medication I was prescribed by an outside practitioner. They left the IV in my arm for over 3 days without my needing any fluids. It's been over 2 years and I still have a scar. Huge scam of a hospital. They get paid to sit there and watch on your TV. They're so loud during the overnight shift that it's almost impossible to go to sleep. Horribly inconsiderate and an embarrassment to the medical industry.

This is the second time my brother has been to this hospital as a current vent patient with many health issues they put him in a room at the end of the hall with no ac in the room but they gave him a fan in which was blocked half the time. He is now there again and when I called for patient information they transferred me to court house there automatic phone answering system has no number for patient information and when you get a person they transfer you not to somewhere inside the hospital but outside the hospital and the mychart is bad as well. If I could give this a minus 0 I would This was the fan that he had in his room the last time My brother is back in this place from the 3rd floor to icu then to 4th Floor then back to icu today he had another fever the room is big but wall is broken again another fan in the room the ac is working but the fan is on because the room is still hot and ac is dirty this looks more like a hospital for inmates n these nurses leave these patient dirty my brother is a vent patient I got there to see him with the bed sheets wet n dressing gown wet Again if I could give this place a -minus 0 I would

If I could give them negative I would. They medically unalived my family 10 years ago and their lawyers are unscrupulous. If you love your family or friends do not and I mean do not put them or yourself in harms way by going here

Some of the most unprofessional, irresponsible, lazy practice of medicine I have ever seen. Dr. Saeed from the psychiatric unit was no help whatsoever and very rude to both patients and visitors. A simple ask was a task too challenging for the man. This hospital feels like it’s on its last limbs.
