About

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.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

Good Samaritan Hospital's Drug Abuse Treatment Unit provides medically supervised detox within a full-service hospital environment. The 24/7 medical detox program ensures continuous monitoring throughout withdrawal, with medical staff available to manage complications and adjust protocols as needed. This hospital-based approach allows treatment of medically complex cases that outpatient detox centers cannot safely handle.

The facility's Opioid Treatment Program certification enables comprehensive opioid detox using FDA-approved medications. Medical staff implement evidence-based withdrawal protocols, adjusting medication dosages and monitoring vital signs throughout the detox process. Beyond medical detox, the residential treatment component provides continued stabilization before patients transition to outpatient care or longer-term treatment programs.

Specialized Population Services

The detox center serves pregnant women requiring specialized medical withdrawal management, coordinating obstetric care with addiction medicine protocols. Medical staff monitor both maternal and fetal health throughout detox, ensuring safe withdrawal that protects pregnancy outcomes. This specialized capability addresses a critical gap, as many detox facilities cannot accommodate pregnant patients' complex medical needs.

Good Samaritan Hospital also provides services for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, ensuring communication accessibility during medical detox. The program treats patients with HIV/AIDS, coordinating addiction treatment with infectious disease management. Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis cases receive integrated treatment addressing both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously.

Insurance Coverage and Admission Process

The hospital accepts multiple insurance types including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and state insurance plans for medical detox services. This broad insurance acceptance ensures withdrawal management remains accessible regardless of coverage type. Financial counselors work with patients to verify benefits and coordinate coverage for both detox and continued treatment needs.

The 24-hour operation schedule allows immediate admission for individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms or medical emergencies. Hospital-based intake ensures rapid medical assessment and initiation of withdrawal protocols without delays common in non-medical settings. Emergency department coordination enables seamless transitions for patients presenting with acute withdrawal or overdose situations requiring immediate medical detox.
