About Good Samaritan Hospital of Suffern
Good Samaritan Hospital of Suffern is a community hospital in Rockland County, New York, and a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth). Its chemical dependency services are integrated into the hospital’s larger Mental and Behavioral Health line, allowing adults from the Hudson Valley to access medically supervised detoxification and outpatient opioid treatment in a fully equipped acute-care setting at 255 Lafayette Avenue.
The inpatient detoxification unit is staffed by physicians, psychiatric providers, and nurses who manage withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances. Because care is delivered inside a hospital, clients with complex medical needs — including pregnant women, people living with HIV/AIDS, and clients with co-occurring conditions such as cardiovascular or psychiatric disease — can be treated safely without leaving the campus. The Joint Commission accreditation underwrites the hospital’s commitment to safety and quality.
For longer-term recovery, Good Samaritan operates a federally certified Opioid Treatment Program. Clients enrolled in OTP services receive medication-assisted treatment with methadone or buprenorphine, paired with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual counseling, and group sessions. The program is designed to support stable, long-term recovery from opioid dependence while connecting clients to the hospital’s broader behavioral-health resources.
Financial counselors work with patients to navigate Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, and a wide range of private coverage, and WMCHealth’s financial-assistance program is available for qualifying patients. American Sign Language access is available for Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients, and admissions can be initiated by calling 845-368-5160, extension 5120.
