advanced human services queens

This Queens program serves adults facing substance use and dual diagnosis care, and it treats withdrawal as a medical event, not a test of willpower. Medically supervised detox is offered for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines and barbiturates, with outpatient care alongside it so people can continue living at home while getting help.

Care is built around the individual. Staff use one-on-one, group and family counseling, and they draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement work to help people understand their patterns and practice new coping skills. Some tracks are shaped around particular groups and pressures, which we describe below.

The site is in a Forest Hills commercial corridor, reachable by public transit and close to the everyday demands of work and family. Sessions happen in person or online, and the team plans for life after treatment ends, including continuing care and discharge planning. The helpline is able to assist you in learning what is open right now.

Advanced Human Services Queens

Two levels of care are listed: detox and outpatient. Detox is the medically supervised withdrawal piece, and it is the reason many people choose a program with clinical staff on hand rather than stopping at home. Outpatient treatment then continues the work through scheduled sessions while the person stays in their own home. Outpatient treatment in Queens lets people keep working while they get help, which matters for anyone holding a job or caring for family.

Counseling options cover cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-specific therapy, one-on-one sessions, life skills work, group therapy, Twelve Step facilitation, family therapy and relapse prevention counseling. Online therapy is available as well, so distance or a busy schedule does not have to end the conversation. The center names individual treatment and a Twelve Step orientation as its two approaches. Ask how the Queens program blends Twelve Step meetings with clinical counseling, since that balance shapes what a typical week looks like.

Program duration, languages, and location

The standard program duration listed is 5 days, reflecting the detox stay rather than the full course of outpatient care. The center is located at 112-15 72nd Road, Suite LL-1, Forest Hills, Queens, NY 11375, in a commercial corridor of the borough. Staff speak English, Farsi, Hebrew, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian, so a family can often do this work in the language they think in. For Russian and Farsi speakers in Queens, treatment in your first language is available, which can change how much someone says in a session.
