Governor Cuomo Unveils New Tool to Guide New Yorkers to Addiction Treatment

On February 3, Governor Cuomo unveiled a new tool to guide New Yorkers to addiction treatment. The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services’ (NYS OASAS) Bed Availability Dashboard application collects bed availability from State-certified alcohol and substance use disorder treatment providers daily and makes it available in real-time on the agency’s website. This new platform will help allow all New Yorkers to easily determine treatment bed availability all across the state. To visit this dashboard, please follow the link: https://bi1.oasas.ny.gov/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard.

This platform allows New Yorkers to search for services in their region, as well as for treatment beds specific to age and gender. Providers will update information about available treatment beds on a 24/7 basis. The Bed Availability Dashboard is the latest addition to Governor Cuomo’s multi-pronged approach to addressing substance use disorders in New York State.
