Questions people ask about Argus Community Inc

Is Argus Community Inc inpatient or outpatient?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in New York is set up for.

Does Argus Community Inc offer a detox?

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in New York.

Can you stay overnight at Argus Community Inc?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in New York.

How many options are within driving distance?

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Bronx.

Does Argus Community Inc treat people in Spanish?

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in New York that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Is there a program at Argus Community Inc for people like me?

They offer a program for adult men, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and New York has 8 other centers to ask.

Is the first call an assessment?

Expect questions rather than a sales pitch, and expect them to be direct. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

What is buprenorphine used for?

The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. Ask whether the medication can start during detox or only after it ends.
