This service provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations in NYS and nationally.
Some acronyms and their relationship: The NYS Hopeline focuses on New York State resources. SAMSHA is national and would likely refer you to the Hopeline. The Hopeline would tap treatment lcaotors provided by OASIS. OASIS coordinates NYS treatment centers and providers (i.e., those covered by insurance vs those that are strictly private pay).
