About Argus Community
Argus Community is a substance use treatment facility located at 114-40 Van Wyck Expressway in South Ozone Park, Queens, New York. For individuals and families in the New York City area seeking structured withdrawal management, this Queens-based center offers both medical detox and residential treatment under one roof — a combination that allows patients to transition from acute detoxification into longer-term stabilization without changing facilities.
The facility provides two distinct levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. Medical detox addresses the acute phase of withdrawal under clinical supervision, while the residential treatment program offers a structured, live-in setting for continued recovery work following detox. Having both levels available at a single location reduces the logistical and clinical gaps that often occur when patients are transferred between separate programs.
Argus Community treats co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside substance use, recognizing that many patients present with mental health conditions that directly affect their substance use and withdrawal management. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the therapeutic methods used within the program, providing patients with structured, skill-based tools to address the thought patterns underlying their substance use.
The center serves a notably broad set of populations: men, women, veterans, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and those who are court-ordered into treatment. Medicaid and state insurance are accepted, which is a significant practical consideration for many Queens residents weighing their detox program options. For veterans or individuals with dual diagnosis needs requiring medical detox followed by residential care, Argus Community presents a clinically layered option in New York City.
