About Flushing Hospital Medical Center
Located north of Kissena Park in Flushing, New York, the Flushing Hospital Medical Center (FHMC) stands as one of the oldest hospitals in New York. This hospital hosts an incredible array of primary care and specialty care services, including comprehensive inpatient and outpatient mental health services that are equipped to help individuals struggling with addictions as well as many other conditions.
Inpatient Care With Many Treatment Options
The FHMC’s inpatient mental health services unit is a facility with a capacity for 18 patients at a time, and provides a safe place for recovery to individuals with intensive psychiatric needs. Within this unit, they offer a wide range of treatment options, including art therapy, medication therapy, family counseling and individual and group psychotherapy sessions. Because this facility’s staff is highly trained and experienced to deal with all kinds of mental health conditions, it can be an ideal service if you have a co-occurring condition or a dual diagnosis that’s placing serious strain on your mental health.
Easily Accessible Outpatient Care
Their outpatient care service is similarly equipped to provide both counseling and psychiatric help to individuals facing any number of mental health troubles including addictions. These services are open to adults and adolescents, and include marital counseling and medication management services.
The neighborhood around the FHMC is peppered with places to explore if you’re looking for quiet places to meditate or something to take your mind off things for a few hours. It’s close to the Queens Zoo, the Queens Botanical Garden and the Queens Public Library just to name a few notable spots near the hospital. They’re about half a mile south of Flushing’s Murray Hill train station, making it easier to access this hospital by public transport.
