Addressing Addictive Behaviors and Collaborating with OASAS

While Spectrum Behavioral Health doesn’t provide direct substance use disorder treatment, they recognize the strong connection between addictive behaviors and mental health. Many people struggling with addiction also experience underlying mental health conditions, like anxiety, that contribute to their substance use.

For the individuals who need more targeted addiction treatment, Spectrum collaborates with the New York Office of Addiction Services and Supports. OASAS is a statewide resource that provides substance use disorder treatment, prevention resources, and recovery services. By working closely with OASAS, the facility connects their clients with the right programs while continuing to receive the mental health care they need.
