Relates to the certification of innovative statewide substance use disorder treatment services

This bill creates a new certification program for organizations offering in-home substance use disorder treatment services in New York. It requires the Office of Addiction Services and Supports to establish guidelines that applicants must follow, including demonstrating compliance with existing safety standards and registering with the state if they are from out of the country. To ensure local involvement, the law mandates a single consultation meeting with local government representatives before any application is reviewed. Certified providers must offer specific services such as individual and group counseling, medication for addiction treatment, overdose prevention tools like naloxone, and regular testing for drugs and mental health risks. The regulations governing this program must be finalized within six months of the bill taking effect.
