About Elmhurst Hospital Center
Elmhurst Hospital Center, part of the NYC Health + Hospitals network, is located on Broadway in Elmhurst, New York. They are a 545 bed public hospital that provides affordable and high quality healthcare services to the Queens neighborhood of New York City.
They offer primary care for adults and children along with behavioral health services to those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Their addiction services are provided in an inpatient treatment setting or through outpatient care, depending on your need for treatment.
Medical Detox Available
I find it good to know that when you arrive, they will first assess your acute care needs and provide you with medical detox treatment to address your withdrawal symptoms. They also offer aftercare support following detox, which may refer you to their inpatient program or outpatient services.
Group Therapy Sessions Cover Relapse Prevention and Smoking Cessation Techniques
I love that their structured program provides group therapy sessions to discuss techniques for relapse prevention, sickness during recovery, removing other addictive behaviors like smoking, and long term wellness and any domestic violence or past trauma history that may have led to your addiction.
State Funded Insurance Plans Accepted
For treatment, they accept state funded insurance programs and they offer a sliding fee scale for those without insurance. They also offer specialized programs for Spanish speaking populations and programs for women and seniors.
