About Brookhaven Memorial Hospital – The Access Center
NYU Langone Hospital — Suffolk is a hospital facility in Patchogue, New York. They have multiple departments, including an inpatient psychiatric unit, that can assist in the treatment of mental and behavioral health disorders, and may be able to assist with substance abuse concerns.
They provide links to the networks of Suffolk Outpatient Chemical Dependency East and accept Medicaid, Medicare, and other insurances.
Care in An Emergency
The Emergency Department is in place to address immediate needs. While it typically serves as an intake for other departments, emergency services can also help those in a mental health or SUD crisis through immediate stabilization and medical care. While they don’t offer addiction treatment, I appreciate how the Emergency Department can lessen a crisis and direct you on a path toward recovery through referrals.
Empowering Care
Suffolk Outpatient Chemical Dependency East says they “help people with substance use disorders help themselves.” Their evidence supported treatment methods include MAT, guiding you to a place where you can clearly identify your goals and establish a plan to work toward them and sobriety.
I like the empowering approach because it helps clients see a truth that’s often obscured by their substance misuse: recovery comes from within. The care team is there to help you navigate the steps of recovery, but the change that occurs comes from your inner strengths.
