“I was a patient on the inpatient unit at NYU Langone in 2025. Here are some things I feel are important to share about my expeirnce: - You are allowd to bring your personal electronics. Almost no other psych ward allows patients to do that. There are some tech guidelines, but for the most part, you can use your phone and laptop freely. - Daily visiting hours from 3:30-8:00 pm. Not all psych wards allow family to visit daily. This is a huge plus. - The rooms are clean and spacious, but you will have a roomate. If you’re like me and you have a lot of sensory issues or trauma with roomates at past facilies, this could be a huge stressor. Just something I’d keep in mind if this could be an issue for you. Also, there are inrercomes over the bed that blast announcments in your ear as early as 8 in the morning. Again, if you are like me and have sensory issues, instituional trauma, and alarm anxiety, that’s just something to be aware of. The mattreses are uncomdterble— those thin prison mats— but they let you have your own bedding and pillows at least. - The food is pretty good for hospital food and you get to pick it out from a menue so you can always get something you like. Also, your visitors are allowed to bring you food and you can keep non-perishable snacks in your room. You will not go hungry here! - They don’t have any bull shit DBT or “skills” groups. Instead, they offer horticulture, music, and art therapy. The groups are actually enriching and community-building. This is the only hospital I’ve ever been to that has offered helpful group therapy. The community on the psych unit is so strong and the group therapists do everything in their power to enhance it. - The facility is clean and modern. - The psychiatrists can be dissmisive and unhelpful. If you aren’t there for med changes, there’s bascially nothing they can do for you. Expect a five minute daily check-in from the resident at best. They do not offer any Indivdual psychotherapy. - There are no outdoor or excereisze spaces. The only excersize you’ll get is walking up and down the hwllway and the only sunlight you’ll see is from your window. - I have ASD and I can say that this place is very inexperienced with autism and they generally expect only patients with psychiatric conditions. If your primary issue is developmental, I can’t say they’ll be understanding. That said, for adult psych, I don’t really think any other NYC hospital is going to be better. Silver Hill Hospital in CT is probably the closest facility that offers adult services with psychiatrists informed about ASD. - It is a voluntary unit, so it is very calm and the patients are kind and polite. Not a chaotic city hospital. - They do not keep people for extended periods of time, which is an issue I’ve seen at other hospitals. Standard stay on the psych unit at NYU Langone is 5-10 days. The only reason a stay would extend longer is if someone was severely destabilized and not responding to med changes. However, it also feels important to note that they sometimes discharge people before they are ready and that may lead to re-admission. So, the short stays are both a pro and a con. Overall, NYU Langone’s inpatient unit is exceptionally humane given the low standard of psychiatric care in this country. The only reason I would not give it five stars is because the doctors were only concerned with medication and refused to help treat or diagnose underlying issues. I wish they’d offered me some intervention instead of just saying, “if you’re not gonna try meds for the millionth time, there’s nothing we can do for you.” There’s lots they could’ve done. Instead, they just gave me a five day break from my crisis and then sent me back into the same situation. I was re-admitted to another hospital five days later.”

“I went here seeking a basic individual therapist and MAT. I went through a very long intake process through which I would be called randomly during the day and not be told how long the calls would take. This happened about three times. On the fourth call, they COMPLETELY denied me care. No waitlist. FULL DENIAL. The reasoning, which I eventually forced out of them, was because my intake questions were “too concerning.” They then started to QUOTE my intake answers, which are run-of-the-mill symptoms of mental illness and PAWS. To preface, I got out of rehab 2 months ago, started working full time again out of necessity, and since then attended a draining 3 hour 3x/week evening IOP that left me feeling numb and depressed. I had nearly 90 days of sobriety (now 93) thanks to AA. Some items they listed for the denial of my care include: Suicidal ideation, (HEAVY on the ideation, and I mean, who doesn’t experience that in this day and age), early symptoms of manic depression, sleep issues, severe PMDD, and anxiety. They then had the audacity to refer me to an IOP at Mount Sinai, which I already did 2 years ago before I relapsed at the beginning of this year (that one also sucks). These people are well aware I had no current individualized mental health care. For them to deny me any type of individual treatment knowing a) the symptoms I am experiencing b) I will not be doing another bs IOP where I don’t feel comfortable talking in a room full of men about how c) I just got raped, is incomprehensible and beyond offensive. Had it not been for AA I would either have relapsed by now, or I would be dead in a ditch. Thank god I’m at a place in my recovery where this didn’t send me over the edge, but for anyone else in this position, just get over your ego and commit to a 12 step program. NYULH should not have addiction listed as something they treat here, because obviously, THEY DO NOT TREAT ADDICTION. Whoever reviewed my case, and made this decision, can rot.”

“I should have written a review a long time ago. I waited almost 1 year to get called back from this place. No follow up what so ever. I co tasted them 2x within that time and all they kept saying was someone from intake would follow up. I get an intake date that I accepted, unfortunately I was at a doctors appointment with my father that ran over the time and I called the office to cancel, then I received a very rude call from the intake person who ended up being my therapist. And I was charged a $75 fee. I have not felt like I and the therapist are a good match but I’ve been trying to let the therapeutic relationship evolve. I can’t anymore I called to switch and I have to bring it up to the therapist who will then speak to the I take team. If they switch me and assign me to another therapist that I do not match with then that’s it. It’s their policy. They suck. Therapy doesn’t work like that. The patient should feel somewhat comfortable with their therapist. I’m not paying the fee, she has cancelled on me last minute and I do t have a fee to charge her.”
