They provide inpatient residential and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Astoria is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from cocaine. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 3 of the 8 centers near New York offer one at all.

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

They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around New York does.

They treat young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and New York has 8 other centers to try.

The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Ask which level they would put a family member in, and why that one.

The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
