About Good Samaritan Hospital of Suffern Chemical Dependency Unit/Rehab
Good Samaritan Hospital of Suffern Chemical Dependency Unit is a hospital-based substance use treatment program located at 255 Lafayette Avenue in Suffern, New York, within Rockland County. As part of an accredited acute-care hospital, the unit offers medically supervised detox and residential treatment within a full clinical infrastructure that operates around the clock, seven days a week — a meaningful distinction for individuals who need immediate, continuous care during the early stages of withdrawal.
The program provides two core levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. The medical detox level gives patients access to clinical supervision 24 hours a day, positioning this facility as a resource for individuals whose withdrawal requires close monitoring in a hospital setting. Following stabilization, patients may transition directly into the residential treatment program, allowing for continuity of care within the same facility without requiring a transfer to a separate location.
Clinically, the program addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, recognizing that mental health conditions — including trauma and PTSD — frequently accompany addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used. The facility holds Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation and carries an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification, reflecting recognized clinical standards for opioid-related care.
Good Samaritan’s Chemical Dependency Unit serves several specific populations, including pregnant women, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing — accessibility and specialized clinical considerations that many detox programs do not address. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and state insurance, broadening access for people across different coverage situations. For families or individuals in Rockland County weighing same-day decisions about medically supervised detox, the hospital-based setting and 24/7 availability are central factors worth considering.
