The Haven at Westchester

The Haven at Westchester is a luxury psychiatric rehab center that operates under New York-Presbyterian Hospital in White Plains, New York. They provide inpatient treatment services for adults on the campus of Payne Whitney Westchester. Here, clients can participate in a range of restorative and therapeutic treatments to help them overcome their conditions, including substance use disorder. They accept private insurance, self pay, and Medicare. There’s a daily amenities fee that clients must cover separately.

One thing that stands out to me about this facility is how esteemed and multi disciplinary the team is. Clients who go here will have access to some of the top psychiatrists in the country, including experts who specialize in mood and personality disorders. Each client receives a customized treatment plan developed by a diverse team of providers including social workers, nurses, and psychosocial specialists. Most plans include some elements of individual, group, and family therapy and pharmacotherapy. They also offer educational family programs to help loved ones understand how the treatment works and what to expect.

Another great aspect of this center is the state of the art living environment that clients can enjoy. All rooms are private and include their own baths and other amenities. They also provide computer and television access, along with personal concierge services. Other perks of living here include meals prepared by a gourmet chef and well furnished living and dining areas. Once clients are stable enough to walk around and enjoy the grounds, they can visit the gardens, tennis courts, pool, and even the on site golf course.

Interestingly, although the program itself is prestigious, client feedback on this facility is mixed. Some clients didn’t like the fact that the residence is co ed and said they didn’t feel safe. Others mentioned the lack of professionalism shown by the staff and didn’t believe their condition improved over the course of their stay.
