Program Verification
Finding OASAS-Certified Programs in Westchester
Use New York’s official directory to verify the program, location, and service type before making a treatment decision.
Published: · Last updated: · 7 min read · By Christopher Veto, NCACIP
OASAS certification applies to qualifying treatment programs, not to Yonk Detox Resource Center. Yonk is an independent navigation resource and does not claim OASAS certification.
How to use the OASAS directory
Search the official provider directory by county and program category. Match the provider name, exact location, program type, and contact details to what you were told.
- Confirm the exact program location
- Review the listed program and service type
- Call the directory-listed number
- Recheck details because programs and services can change
After verifying a listing, compare it with the levels of care described in our Westchester County detox and rehab overview.
Certification is one part of comparison
Certification does not answer every practical question. Also ask about staffing, schedule, medication support, accessibility, language needs, cost, insurance, and continuing care.
Compare the exact listed service with your questions about withdrawal-management programs, inpatient rehabilitation, or intensive outpatient care. Ask the provider which level is appropriate and how any transition is arranged.
How Yonk uses credential preferences
When a caller requests an OASAS-certified option, Yonk can use the official directory while identifying independent programs to contact. The program remains responsible for describing its current certification and services.
