According to its federal listing, Amethyst House accepts Medicaid (New York Medicaid), private insurance and self-payment. It also offers a sliding fee scale, meaning what you pay is based on your income. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 718-448-1900 before you rely on it.

We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that Amethyst House reports a sliding fee scale based on income and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

Amethyst House reports offering Residential care. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.

Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management/motivational incentives, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and substance use disorder counseling. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.
