About Staten Island University Hospital

Staten Island University Hospital aims to provide easily available treatment. They take many insurances ranging from Medicaid to Medicare as well as private plans. Financial counselors are also available to assist patients with exploring other payment options for those who may not be insured so that cost does not become a barrier to care.

With relapse prevention strategies and aftercare planning, the center places a focus on long term recovery, which is essential for life post treatment. The team at the center consists of addiction specialists, counselors with proper licenses and medical professionals who not only provide emotional but also psychological and sometimes physical support.

Staten Island University Hospital also has a large Behavioral Health Department. With their Mental Health Program, you can seek treatment for depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. A variety of health disciplines work in a team approach to develop comprehensive treatment plans including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and nurses.

Worst experience. One doctor walking around the whole time and zero patients being seen. I was asked my name 3 times but wasn’t helped or asked about my problem at all. Wasted time and money getting here for 0 blood work. The only way you’ll be seen is if you’re actively dying and even then, you should find somewhere else to get help. UPDATE: I just got a bill in the mail for this visit, a little over $1,000. I was basically charged over $1,000 to tell some idiot my name. Welcome to America! Our health care is the best in the world!

My wife gave birth here and everything was amazing , the RN Destiny went above and beyond each time she checked on us , helped us with a smile and was attentive to all questions. The one issue we had was waiting ALL day to be discharged - which was annoying but Destiny was able to expedite the process somewhat. It would have been nice to be told beforehand from the hospital staff that it would take HOURS just to get discharged (and I’m talking 7 hours… 🤦‍♂️). Would have been nice to have been told that beforehand when we were told noon the latest!

Accepted Insurance

Staten Island University Hospital 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.

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.

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.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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

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.

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.

My experience at Staten Island Hospital has been deeply concerning. My father required surgery on his finger, and due to a lack of proper monitoring of his antibiotic intake, he is now suffering from kidney failure. This has been devastating for our family. During visits, I’ve consistently felt anxious because the level of care and support from both nurses and doctors has been disappointing. The lack of communication and attentiveness has left me heartbroken and worried for others who may face similar situations. Families deserve safe, attentive, and compassionate care, and unfortunately, that was not our experience here

My mother was admitted to the 4th fl due to cardiac issues. The Electrophysiology (EP) team that saw her including Dr. Akhrass' PA and NP are the rudest people I've ever met. Dismissive, impolite and totally unkind. They have an attitude of "I know better", talk loudly over you and put these nasty condescending faces when you try to push back. After seeing my mother for couple of minutes and dismissing her symptoms they simply wanted to implant a device to monitor her heart upon discharge. My mother refused and they became enraged with her. My best guess is that they get $$$ for putting these unnecessary devices on elderly patients because there is no need to be that mad upon a patient's refusal. The EP team proceeded to abruptly leave the room and continue having a nasty conversation about my mother in the hallway pretty much insulting her and guessing that she wouldn't be around for too long. Totally unnecessary and like I said, rude. My mother is now under the care of a private EP doctor here in Staten Island who confirmed that the loop recorder device was unnecessary and that my mother required an immediate EP study which we did, and it ended up with an ablation. This doctor saved her life. If we would've followed SIUH EP's advice, my Mother wouldn't be here with us. To be fair, everyone else at the hospital was really nice including the nurses and the cardiology team but if management is reading this, PLEASE find a new empathetic EP team otherwise, one day, it will be a liability for you.

Some of the security at this hospital act like they are corrections officers in a state penitentiary and some nurses act like wardens. My sister from out of town had emergency surgery and I found myself in a hostile environment as they kept putting up hurdles and avoiding that I be supportive of her. I had three separate negative interactions with some of these people and I was not crossing any boundaries either—just trying to be there for my sister as were her desires. In addition, HIPAA violations everywhere, loud staff, security speaking amongst themselves using foul language in the lobby, nurses complaining about patients and using foul language in what seemed to be a round table discussion in the cafeteria. This hospital is no longer concerned with patient care, it has become a money-making machine. Will avoid coming here again.

Held me hostage while a doctor didn’t visit for 24 hours. Insanely bad. Some amazing helpful and great nurses, but couldn’t have felt less cared about.
