There are 827 New York State rehab centers in 208 cities. That
equates to a clinic for about 23,000 people in that NY State. Within NYC
alone, there are 131 drug rehab centers. That's a lot of rehabs to sift
through if you are looking for one.
Since the goal of a rehab seeker is to be sober and drug-free, price isn't necessarily the most important thing here. You can check with your insurance company to see if they offer you a choice out of the 131 in NYC if that's where you stay. Otherwise, you'll have to concentrate on the level of service and expertise a rehab center has in dealing with your addiction. Some specialize in dual diagnosis whereas others on hard drugs like meth or cocaine. Some do an excellent job with alcohol addictions.
You will find a varied level of service in the rehabs you research and visit as well. Some are designed with very luxurious resort style facilities and others are strictly business only. Obviously, the nicer the environment is, the pricier it gets. If you aren't wealthy or need that kind of pampering, a drug rehab center that just gets results for you is all that matters.
Be aware that some places like St Jude Retreats don't offer a detox program as part and parcel of the entire process. Often, people have to go through the detox first prior to joining their program. So, depending on what your past experiences are, you may want to go for a complete program that covers detox, withdrawal, and the rehab process.
NY drug rehab facilities often offer many types of treatment, all with the goal of helping a participant to be rid of the addiction. Some NY drug rehab facilities have tough criteria to meet in order to be accepted into a program, as there is not a law or regulation that states all people who apply must be admitted for treatment. It is important to know however that there are NY drug rehab facilities that accept Medicaid and Medicare as a means of payment. In order to find these facilities, contact your local Medicare or Medicaid office for a list.
The services provided by NY drug rehab facilities will vary based on the level of addiction, type of drug used as well as previous attempts at rehab for each participant. Here are a few of the service or treatment types and who they work best for, to help you find a treatment that will work best for you or your loved one.
Family addiction treatment: these are used as a means of continuing addiction treatment, as many underlying issues of addiction can be found and resolved during these therapy sessions. Family, individual and group therapy sessions not only help the participant to see the behaviors that need changing, but help families and friends to understand what is happening and how to help.
Long term residential treatments: These are made for persons who have completed some type of residential treatment before and then require more treatment. Some criteria must be met in order for someone to be accepted into this type of plan. This includes drug seeking behaviors, relapses or additional time needed in a structured setting to help with clinical problems.
Outpatient addiction or rehab treatment: this is generally used after a person has been deemed safe or well enough to go back home and still maintain recovery. The services are still available, but the person is not required to live at the facility for any period of time.
Inpatient rehab treatments include the person staying at a rehab center. This is considered a step program that is used after detox where group and family or individual therapy will take place.
Inpatient rehab and primary care treatment: this type of treatment is used when other medical or mental problems are found after detox, and take place in a hospital. Detox programs are a short term addiction treatment, and can take anywhere from 2 to 10 days to complete. The time spent in detox will vary based on multiple criteria.
