The intake staff lie to you and try to get you to sign a lot of unnecessary things to absolve them of responsibility of just about everything. The doctors talk to you for 1 minute per weekday maximum. They constantly break HIPPA by discussing all of your medical history in the middle of the hallway in front anybody and everybody. You do not get involved with your treatment decisions. They will prescribe you medicine without talking to you, expect you to take it, and gaslight you when you ask why they did that. The facility is run down and archaic. It feels like a literal prison. The nurses are typically unhelpful and some of them don't look like they even want to be there and are very rude. The techs are varied between helpful and not. Most of them barely speak English. Staff degrade and yell at patients for not following orders despite that the place does literally nothing treatment related except the prescription of medicine. I was seen for a condition that I don't even have according to every other doctor that I have seen in my adult life. This place just exists to milk insurance money so that their unhelpful staff can afford expensive things even though most of the "work" they do is sitting in chairs in the hallway all day having conversations in another language and laughing so loud all day long that nobody can get any rest. It's the most mind-numbingly boring place I have ever been and great if you want to feel the epitome of abandonment because literally nobody here does anything to help you at all.

I think the clinical staff does the best they can, but the environment is not the best for healing.The psychiatrist should just leave and let the social workers and therapist handle the patients. It appears to me the psychiatrists need therapy. Patients do not feel safe there

If I could give 0 stars I would. A nurse at the 2NE unit named April decided my child who is a diabetic did not need a finger-stick that was on medical order and caused my child to have a hypoglycemic event. Thank god I went in to visit when I did because she was pale, shakey, clammy, and lightheaded. When I brought this to the attention of the supervisor he confirmed that she never did the finger-stick. My child told me her glucose level was 98, and that was within 1/2 hour of me leaving. So her glucose level around the time of my visit must have been below 70. Then told my child told me that she has been confined to her room for choosing to identify as they/them/it and was told she cannot have a room mate and that she is not allowed around other patients because of this! They also refused my visit with my child after a 2 hour ride to this facility!

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.

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.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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. In all of the inpatient programs, comprehensive services are available to patients who require treatment for a dual diagnosis of mental illness and chemical dependency or mental illness and developmental disabilities.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

I went here almost a year ago. Before going in I was diagnosed by my psychiatrists at the time and they prescribed me with a stimulant. I was still in the “testing phase” of it and when I was admitted, they didn’t allow me to continue the medication messing it up for me and put me on 6 different medications for bipolar and told me I didn’t have ADHD. During my time there, some of the staff didn’t treat the patients right. There was this older lady who was yelling at a patient at 6 in the morning. I stuck my head out to see what was happening because it woke me up and then I asked the lady who was sitting at the end of the hallway using her phone what the time was because I didn’t want to walk down the halls just to see the time because I knew it would wake me up and I wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep plus she OBVIOUSLY could just check real quick. This woman told me to go look at the clock. I was so annoyed with this and that was just the bare minimum of the rude staff. Some of the staff was nice. Also when it came time to eat, they kept giving me food with ingredients I’m allergic too. Nothing severe but things that would make me feel sick like lactose. The things I saw in there were also completely traumatizing. I understand it’s a mental hospital but damn. I thought they were supposed to help not make things worse. Wanted to edit this because i forgot some other things. One was that you had to “behave” in order to get some “outside” time which was just this time court yard in the middle of the buildings with very minimal sunlight. You could also go get some vending machine food from there if you had some money. You also couldn’t call anyone for free. You’d have to pay ¢25/call for like 5 minutes at most unless they called you first. The only time you got to call someone for free was at a specific time (I think it was around 9-10am) for like 10-15 minutes. Another was, at least in the female wing, the only show that was remotely entertaining was the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit which I have been S.A. (and more) in the past which made this extremely traumatizing again.

I spent a month at their PHP program. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for literally all of the staff at the hospital. The intake team worked so fast and made me already feel like I was in good hands. The therapists were incredible, that is saying more than you could know coming from me. Each one had their own style and strengths and collectively produced a therapy experience that no individual therapist could possible provide; they had an entourage effect of sorts. We only knew the “interns” were interns because they told us. The psychiatric team was compassionate, extremely advanced (objectively), I have very strong opinions about psychiatry and honestly all three psychiatrists were a standard well above what I could have expected. The kitchen staff was kind and the food was good for cafeteria food. The hospital helped find transportation for me and could not have been more supportive and accommodating. I’m getting emotional writing this because I didn’t really believe such a place existed, and to know that there actually is good quality help, for someone whose been seeking it for a long time, challenged my jaded perspectives in a very positive way. I see the negative reviews and it makes sense that people; patients and supportive family, going through a difficult time might find frustration as healing is in no way linear; but I can say with confidence that you and your loved ones are taking a really good shot with Saint Vincents

I was skeptical at first because of the public reviews but I was so happy with the service a very close family member received here. Staff is so attentive, so easy to reach with questions and concerns and the social worker (Justin) was always available when I needed him and incredibly helpful. The food is really good, the staff was very kind, the meds that were prescribed are making an obvious difference in my family members life. I would recommend this hospital to anyone seeking mental help.

My daughter has autism as severe as it gets! She stayed at this hospital over a month and the staff there worked so hard to get her at her baseline. I forgot to mention she is 31 years old which makes the task even harder, her being set in her own ways. I brought her home until she will eventually go to a group home. We had the best night that I have had in years with my daughter and I . I’m so grateful to the st. Vincent staff for what they done. Staff really took care of my child! I’m so very grateful. She was always showered and taken cared of and that really impressed me cause she is incontinent and isn’t able to take care of herself. ❤️ grateful parent

I was inpatient at this hospital and i also did the php. Most staff are very nice and friendly, there is some abuse going on with the techs but nothing more crazy than any other psyche hospital. It's just very old fashioned. Like the way they deal with issues and even the building is just old. Overall it wouldn't have been too bad had I gotten an ok doctor. It's pure luck which doctor you get, cuz some doctors are really nice.i was on unit 3 north, and they had 2 doctors there and one was really nice and one was basically the worst person i think I've ever met. Her name is Dr Perry, and if you go to the hospital stay far far away from her. I dont have the words to explain the severity of her issues. She was keeping patients there for month on end and was basically just abusing her power in any way possible. It's a disgrace to such a good hospital with such amazing staff, that they still employ her.
