Drug & Alcohol Detox and Rehab Options in Westchester County

What Yonk does and where treatment happens

Yonk Detox Resource Center does not operate a detox or rehabilitation program, perform clinical assessments, or guarantee beds. The receiving provider assesses each person and makes every admission and clinical decision. Our role is to help you understand options and prepare calls.

Levels of care across Westchester

Treatment programs in the county are described with similar words that can mean different things. Ask each provider which level of care it is certified to offer at the exact location.

• Withdrawal management (detox): short-term monitoring and management of withdrawal, with medical oversight that varies by setting.
• Inpatient or residential treatment: live-in structured treatment after or without a detox stay, depending on clinical need.
• Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient (PHP/IOP): several hours of treatment on multiple days each week while living at home.
• Outpatient treatment: scheduled individual or group sessions that fit around work, school, or family.
• Medication support: some programs offer medications for alcohol or opioid use disorder when a qualified prescriber decides they are appropriate.

Verifying a Westchester program

New York’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) maintains a public provider and program search. Check that the listed program, address, and service type match what the provider describes to you. Westchester County’s Department of Community Mental Health also publishes substance-use resources.

Follow our step-by-step OASAS verification guide before choosing a program.

Insurance and admission questions

Coverage depends on the plan, the exact location, and the service. Ask both the health plan and the program before admission.

• Is this exact location in network for this level of care?
• Is prior authorization required?
• What will I owe out of pocket, and what is not included?
• What does the program need from me to complete its own assessment?

Prepare with the Westchester detox payment and insurance guide, and learn how reported openings differ from confirmed admission. You can also request non-clinical navigation help.

Practical access and travel

Westchester stretches from the Bronx border in the south to Putnam County in the north, so a program that is “in the county” can still mean a long trip. Families often weigh travel time for visits and outpatient sessions, Metro-North or Bee-Line bus access, and whether a program outside the county is reasonable when local openings are limited. These are questions to raise with the provider; we do not decide where anyone should go.

Areas we help

We take calls from people and families in Yonkers, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, Dobbs Ferry, Croton-on-Hudson, Purchase and Harrison, and across Westchester County, including communities such as White Plains, Mount Vernon, Peekskill, and Tarrytown. Yonk has one office, in Yonkers; we do not have locations in these communities.
