About

About Flushing Hospital and Medical Center Chemical Dependency Unit

The Chemical Dependency Unit at Flushing Hospital Medical Center occupies the Unit 2 West wing at 4500 Parsons Boulevard in central Flushing, Queens. The hospital, founded in 1884 and now part of the MediSys Health Network, is one of the longest-operating community hospitals in New York City. Its chemical dependency program is hospital-based, meaning detox and stabilization happen within an acute-care medical environment with full hospital resources immediately available.

Clinically, the unit operates under Joint Commission accreditation and carries SAMHSA certification as an Opioid Treatment Program, which authorizes on-site dispensing of methadone and other medications for opioid use disorder. Medical detox is the documented inpatient level of care, with outpatient programming continuing the work after stabilization. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the listed therapeutic approach, and the program treats co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, including trauma-related presentations.

Queens is one of the most linguistically diverse counties in the United States, and the Flushing unit’s language access reflects that reality. SAMHSA lists service in Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Farsi, German, and English, an unusually wide language mix even for New York. Pregnant women are among the served populations, and the hospital coordinates obstetric services in parallel with substance use treatment when needed. Deaf and hard-of-hearing accommodations are also listed.

Financing accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state-funded coverage, and self-pay. For chemical dependency intake, call 718-670-4416. The hospital’s main switchboard at 718-670-5000 can route inquiries to mental health services or related programs.
