Audit Finds Addiction Support Providers
Need to Be Better Prepared for Emergencies
Some addiction treatment programs may not be adequately prepared in an emergency to prevent gaps in care. This could compromise patient progress or safety, according to a new audit released this week by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The audit, which covered 2019 to 2022, found the State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) must improve its oversight and monitoring of nearly 400 certified providers that offer vital programs to thousands of New Yorkers battling substance use disorders or gambling addiction.
“The State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports should work to improve its oversight over its providers’ programs to ensure gaps in potentially life-saving care do not occur during emergencies and crisis situations,” DiNapoli said.
