About Advanced Human Services Inc MSW-OP
Advanced Human Services Inc. operates a New York State-licensed outpatient clinic at 112-15 72nd Road in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York. The MSW-OP designation reflects its scope as a medically supervised withdrawal and outpatient program serving adults across Queens and the broader New York City area for substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and dual diagnosis (sometimes called MICA, or mentally ill chemical abuse).
The outpatient model includes medically supervised detoxification for alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and opioids. Medication-assisted treatment is available with buprenorphine, naltrexone (oral and injectable), acamprosate, and disulfiram, alongside psychiatric medications when clinically indicated. Counseling services span individual, group, family, and couples work, with structured tracks for motivational enhancement therapy, computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation, family therapy, and contingency management therapy. The clinic also runs a specially designed program for DWI/DWAI clients.
Advanced Human Services places notable emphasis on populations that often go underserved in mainstream addiction settings. Elderly substance use programming and immigrant mental health and substance use services are explicit specialty tracks, and clinical care is available in English, Russian, Hebrew, Polish, and Ukrainian, reflecting the linguistic diversity of Forest Hills and surrounding Queens neighborhoods. Specialized programming for phenobarbital addiction and opioid overdose prevention rounds out the service line.
The clinic accepts Medicaid, private health insurance, cash and self-pay, state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid, and payment assistance. Recovery support services include case management, housing assistance, employment counseling, peer support, transportation assistance, and transitional services. Dr. Anna Rikhter is among the clinicians supporting the program’s medical and psychiatric care.
