Inpatient Drug Rehab Placement for New Yorkers

Often same-day or next-day when beds are available at one of our partner programs, your insurance is in-network, and the clinical level of care is straightforward. Detox placements move fastest because they are prioritized clinically. Complex cases — pregnancy, severe co-occurring psychiatric conditions, active legal matters — can take 24–72 hours to match properly. Call (347) 329-2331 and an advisor will tell you realistically what the timing looks like for your situation.

Yes, in almost every case where the caller has an in-network private PPO. New York State Insurance Law prohibits prior authorization on in-network OASAS-certified inpatient SUD treatment, and bars concurrent utilization review during the first 28 days of admission. Coverage specifics — deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket max — vary by plan. Our advisors verify your plan before any commitment.

No. You can self-refer. Under New York law you or a family member can contact a placement advisor directly, have insurance verified, and be admitted to an in-network OASAS-certified inpatient program without a physician referral. A doctor's involvement can help in complex medical cases but is not a gate.

Not from us, and generally not from your insurer. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) gives substance use disorder treatment records exceptional privacy protection — stronger than standard HIPAA. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows up to 12 weeks of protected unpaid leave for inpatient treatment at a qualified employer. Employees of companies with 50+ employees who have worked 1,250+ hours in the past 12 months generally qualify. Advisors can walk you through disclosure options.

Detox addresses acute physical withdrawal — typically 3–10 days, with 24-hour medical monitoring. Inpatient rehab is what comes after detox: 28–30+ days of residential therapeutic treatment focused on relapse prevention, co-occurring conditions, family work, and aftercare planning. For alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioid dependence of any length, supervised detox before inpatient rehab is almost always the safer clinical sequence. Many of the programs we refer to house both on the same campus.

You choose — we match. Our advisors present options that fit your insurance, clinical needs, geography, and timing, and explain the differences plainly. You make the call. If a program isn't a fit for any reason, we adjust and present alternatives. We do not pressure callers toward a single facility.

No. We are a referral and placement resource, not a licensed treatment facility. Our placement advisors verify insurance and connect callers with licensed OASAS-certified inpatient programs. The actual clinical care happens at the admitting program. We do not run a detox, a residential facility, or a doctor's office.

Call anyway and we'll be straight with you about fit. Our placement model is built around in-network private PPO plans, so if you have Medicaid, Medicare, or no insurance, we may not be the right resource. In those cases we'll point you to the OASAS Treatment Locator at findaddictiontreatment.ny.gov, NYC Well at 988, or NYS HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY. Getting you to the right resource — even if it isn't us — is the honest answer.
