Relates to recovery community centers
This bill establishes a voluntary certification program for recovery community centers in New York. It requires the state commissioner to create evidence-based regulations covering staffing, safety, participant rights, referrals to support services, and administrative policies. Certified centers will be listed on a state website as verified options for individuals seeking recovery support, and the commissioner can inspect centers or revoke certification for noncompliance. The bill also directs the commissioner to work with the health department to ensure these services become reimbursable through state Medicaid.
