New York Announces $10 Million for Addiction Treatment

New York State has announced that up to $10 million in capital funding is available to expand addiction treatment services. The funding will support the development of up to 40 new withdrawal and stabilization or residential treatment beds across the state. The funding will be distributed through a Request for Applications process. Medically supervised withdrawal and stabilization programs offer medical assessment, information about recovery support, family treatment, clinical services and medication to manage withdrawal symptoms. These programs are a short-term service designed to prepare people for and connect them to longer term treatment. Residential services programs offer structured treatment and recovery services for people affected by an addiction. Services can include counseling, training, and recreational programs. Priority for funding through this RFA will be given to providers in areas where these services are not currently available.
