S 1888 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to addiction counseling services for incarcerated individuals

S 1888 requires New York state correctional facilities to establish addiction counseling programs for incarcerated individuals diagnosed with substance use disorders following medical screening. The bill mandates that facilities partner with the Office of Addiction Services and Supports to create individualized treatment plans, though participation is voluntary. It also extends these requirements to county jails through new standards for equivalent counseling services. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment. This directly affects incarcerated people with substance use disorders in both state and county correctional facilities.
