Addiction Treatment in NYC

New York City is home to one of the most complex addiction landscapes in the country. With the fentanyl crisis still reshaping the drug supply, the rise of xylazine contamination, and historically high rates of alcohol use disorder, New Yorkers face real, daily risk. Whether you're researching options for yourself or trying to help someone you love, finding the right treatment should not be the hardest part of recovery.

At Oasis Center, we offer the full continuum of addiction care from a single facility in Midtown South Manhattan. That means you don't have to coordinate detox at one place, inpatient at another, and outpatient at a third — we do it all under one roof, with one clinical team, and one relationship. Call us at any hour. We're here.

Modern addiction treatment is evidence-based, medically supervised, and tailored to the individual. A typical path might begin with a phone assessment, move to medical detox for 5–10 days, transition to inpatient residential care for 21–30 days, and then step down to intensive outpatient (IOP) or standard outpatient for ongoing support. Many patients also receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — Suboxone, Vivitrol, or methadone — to stabilize opioid use disorder.

At every level of care, you should expect: a board-certified medical team, licensed therapists trained in addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, a clear treatment plan with measurable goals, family involvement when appropriate, and an aftercare plan that actually works after discharge.

We provide addiction treatment for every major substance use disorder encountered in NYC. This includes fentanyl addiction, heroin and prescription opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, cocaine and crack use, methamphetamine, benzodiazepine dependence, xylazine-involved polysubstance use, and cannabis use disorder. We also treat co-occurring depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder — together with the addiction, not as an afterthought.

Many of our patients come to us after a crisis: an overdose, a DUI, an arrest, a hospital visit, a family intervention. Others come because they've simply decided they've had enough. Both paths are valid, and both are welcome.

The honest answer: it depends on your insurance, your level of care, and the length of your stay. According to industry averages, inpatient rehab in NYC can run approximately $1,800 per day for a 30-day program — roughly $56,653 in total. Intensive outpatient programs typically cost $3,000–$10,000 total. Partial hospitalization is around $350–$450 per day. Medical detox runs $250–$800 per day.

The good news: commercial insurance typically covers 60–80% of these costs under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. When you call Oasis Center, our intake team will verify your benefits at no cost and give you a clear, honest estimate of what you'll actually pay out of pocket. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Most commercial insurance plans cover addiction treatment — often substantially. We're in-network or able to work with Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Empire BCBS, and many other major carriers. Learn more about specific coverage at our insurance pages for Aetna, Cigna, UHC, and BCBS.

We do not accept Medicaid or Medicare. If you have government coverage, we can refer you to programs that do accept it.
