The office staff are very nasty and unprofessional. The first intake staff (social worker) was extremely disrespectful in utilizing correct pronouns. The doctor made my loved one more depressed after leaving appointment then before.

Very professional!
I m sad to say Spectrum Behavioral is not a Place to go. I was seen there since 2016 . My first experience was tasteless as disrespectful with the intake evaluator whom was or is an Elderly rude Disrespectful individual whom badgered me. I m a Survivor of DV for 34 1/2 yrs as loss my two dogs in the process having to let them go. I was diagnosed with PTSD ~Anxiety as Depression. I refused for yrs to seek Counseling as I felt strong enough not to need it but he just continued destroying damaging even afterwards till now. I was assigned to a Wonderful Counselor who understood me without Judgement or Criticism. She was to me THE BEST. Advocating for me. I fell through hardship as so much more traumatic experiences. She abandoned me not knowing why. This was not She. I was severely hurt as I needed continued Counseling, someone to talk to. They claimed she said she was not taking New Patients. Really? 2016-2022. I was not a new Patient. But I was always her Patient. When I mostly needed her as I needed an ESA letter for my furbabies I did not want to lose AGAIN.Hani really showed his true colors posting untrue diagnosis on letter as her Boss whom I decided to see but felt uncomfortable ( The owner). I had to cut him off as he did not care about my feelings or Abuse. But wanted to change to health issues as if that is why I seeked Counseling. I did not. My health issues were related to other issues including Work. I wrote him a letter informing as requesting when I needed an ESA letter for both if he kindly. I called February when my Furson was ill, he claimed he does not commit fraud. I took that very offensive as it was not fraud. I had every Right due to my History. As it s documented and want him stripped of my Citizenship as Deported.My Furson ~ my World~ my Soul passed . Greedy Vets as their evil Negligence . He should be alive today He disrespectfully put as if I were Bipolar~ Crazy Just as Hani for this evil Corp Office we unfortunately moved into.I regret as all came tumbling down like evil as what was done to me Discriminating me as treating me like what was put on Letter by both..He also said Counseling is not your friend . As if I had to see him (Controlling) . One sees a Counselor as many times they need to talk as Vent out their Problems as Pain. I honestly felt uncomfortable being he a Man as foreigner speaking to me that way I felt very uncomfortable. He s elderly and I respect that but I could not continue with Him.As what he as Hani ( Hani Knew) notated on ESA was a lie disrespectful and not my Diagnosis. There was a time I liked Hani, but when he told me at some point you have to move on with all I endured and Therapist abandoning me With what intentions was that done? Do I not have a right to get upset as vent about something? Unbelievable.I hope he (Shingala) repents for lying.. Till this day I m dying inside for my Furson. I emailed my Former Therapist pouring my heart out when I lost my World. She ignored me. Never bothered to tell me in advance. This was a huge surprise considering how comfortable I felt talking with her as she never gave me any Sign. How shattering . I trusted her so much. Till this day I find myself telling my story on Two FB pages . One about my DV the other which was not intended for my Furson ( for personal reasons ) had to, pouring my heart out till this Day ..He was not just a DOG. He was a blessing and left to die by Greedy Vets who failed him. It is a sharp pain deep sharp pain in my heart mourning my Furson and no one can tell me anything unless they were with me. She knew I m not only an honest individual, but Realistic..I was trying to bring debt down on my Furson. It s about the money and nothing else. Just as our furbabies.. Not sure why she did that to me. This is not She. I emailed Alicia informing I want my records as what was done and I m enduring. She ignored it. Who does that. Very rude Cruel as unprofessional. A Hippa Violation. Do your research before seeking a therapist. I know there s no one like the one I had.. They re hard to find .
Avoid Dr. Singh. He didn't use the virtual room for our appointments but instead would call me on my mobile phone, which has got to be some kind of HIPAA violation. I see Hani Khalil now, who is great. Also the reception staff are wonderful!

Accepted Insurance
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.
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 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.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
12-Step Participants in 12 step programs maintain access to community-based peer support, which is the programs' primary treatment modality. 12 step recovery combines personal growth with paper coaching. Participants regularly attend group meetings, which are free, anonymous, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. They are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who guide them through the steps of recovery. Age and gender specific and other specialized formats are common.
Sober Living Homes The ultimate goal of a sober living home in New York is to provide structure and support for those who want to maintain sobriety. Often, sober living homes are a transitional space for those moving from residential treatment to mainstream life. Residents typically stay at least 90 days, with most living in the halfway house for more than six months.
Intervention Services A drug intervention in New York occurs when family members and friends lovingly confront someone with a substance use disorder. The goal of this confrontation is to motivate the person to seek treatment. Loved ones point out how the person's destructive behavior is affecting them in hopes that they will agree to get help. Most inpatient rehab facilities offer intervention services that can help families walk through this process step by step.
Medically 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.
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.
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
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.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New York is a short term therapeutic method used to treat substance use and mental health disorders. CBT typically lasts from five to 20 sessions, based on the individual's needs.
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.

Introduced in 1983, motivational interviewing is a method to help clients commit to change. It's based on the philosophy that change is hard, and clients must explore their own options and come to their own conclusions rather than receive warnings or advice from the therapist.
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.
You can participate in couples therapy to focus on a specific problem in your relationship or for general strengthening of the relationship. This therapy aims to help you improve communication, address conflict, and grow in affection for one another.
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.
Coping with day to day living is a challenge while in addiction recovery. Life skills training helps you learn how to manage daily tasks and deal with stress in healthy ways. This is key to long term recovery.
As you recover from addiction, eating the right foods will help you heal and build your health for long term sobriety. Nutrition therapy teaches you about the nutrition your body needs and how to eat the right foods to support your recovery.
Nicotine is an addictive substance found in cigarettes. When you stop smoking, your body experiences withdrawal from this substance. Nicotine replacement therapy lets you slowly reduce your nicotine intake so you experience minimal withdrawal symptoms. Eventually you'll be down to zero.
