In the U.S., millions of people, at some point in their lifetime struggle with problematic drug use. Substance use disorders pose significant health risks not only for the individual and their family, but also can have far-reaching consequences that affect employment, health care systems, local communities, and society as a whole.

OMH and OASAS along with their technical assistance training partners (CPI, NYAPRS, CASA/MCTAC, McSilver/MCTAC) are hosting a webinar series building upon the in person core concepts of recovery and wellness events for Adult BH HCBS providers that were held in March and April of 2017.

CASA/MCTAC and OASAS offered a three-day intensive for New York City providers to complete their 820 designation applications. These presentations lay the foundation for transformation and highlight key concepts that providers will address in their 820 applications, such as person-centered care, trauma-informed care, measurement-based care, and ancillary withdrawal.
