Stimulant Detox in New York

Treatment rules and programs in New York

Who oversees treatment

New York's Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) certifies addiction treatment providers; a provider needs the OASAS Commissioner's approval before opening a facility or offering a new service.

Prescription monitoring

New York's prescription monitoring program is the PMP Registry (part of I-STOP, the Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing), run by the Department of Health's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement. It gives prescribers access to patients' dispensed controlled substance histories.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

New York's 911 Good Samaritan law (Penal Law 220.78) protects a person who seeks help in good faith for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from prosecution for certain drug and paraphernalia possession offenses. Sale for money is excluded.

Court-ordered treatment

New York's Mental Hygiene Law section 22.09 allows a person who is incapacitated by alcohol or substances and likely to harm themselves or others to be taken to a treatment facility and held involuntarily for emergency evaluation, for up to 72 hours.

What to know about prescription stimulants

Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.

Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.

What stimulant detox involves

The first week off stimulants is usually the hardest, with fatigue, hunger, poor concentration and low mood, followed by weeks of cravings that come and go. Detox programs keep you safe and comfortable and plan what comes next.

Coverage varies, but most commercial plans pay for some level of addiction treatment when it is medically necessary. Check whether the program is in network, whether you need pre-approval, and how many days of residential care your plan allows. Our insurance guides cover major carriers.
