OASAS-certified addiction treatment on Long Island

Connect with the appropriate substance use treatment path: OASAS-certified care in Mineola/Long Island, office-based MAT, Suboxone follow-up, telemedicine visits, or local medication support.

OASAS-certified treatment is a specific regulated treatment path. It is separate from routine office-based Suboxone or telemedicine MAT visits.

Many major insurance plans are accepted for addiction medicine visits, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare, United Healthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many commercial plans. Self-pay visits are also available. Coverage for the visit, urine drug screening, and medication copays varies by plan, so benefit verification still matters.

The right level of care matters Some patients need an OASAS-certified program. Others need office-based buprenorphine, telemedicine follow-up, or a medication-specific visit. The goal is clear routing without overpromising.

How the treatment paths differ

OASAS-certified program

A structured treatment program for patients who need substance use treatment services beyond a simple medication follow-up visit.

Office-based MAT

Suboxone and buprenorphine care can also happen in office-based or clinic settings when appropriate, with local follow-up and monitoring.

Telemedicine MAT

Virtual visits can support access for selected patients, but the care plan must still meet clinical, payer, and regulatory requirements.

Medication-specific support

Sublocade, Vivitrol, naloxone, and bridge-review options help patients understand which question each option answers.

Official treatment context

New York OASAS describes medication-assisted treatment as a preferred approach for opioid use disorder, and explains that opioid treatment programs are OASAS-and-federally-certified sites. OASAS also notes that buprenorphine and long-acting naltrexone can be prescribed in other clinical settings when appropriate. See OASAS opioid use disorder guidance.

Focused care or a more supported outpatient program

Nao Medical operates a New York State OASAS-certified outpatient addiction treatment program. The first visit can focus on the immediate clinical question and medication planning when relevant, or the care plan can include counseling, recovery support, and closer follow-up when that is wanted or clinically recommended.

Focused clinical visits

Patients can request a private evaluation centered on the immediate concern, prescribing or injection planning when applicable, monitoring, and practical next steps. Medication is never automatic; eligibility and safety still require clinician review.

Counseling is available

Patients who want more support can add counseling, relapse-prevention work, care coordination, and recovery follow-up through the outpatient addiction program.

Confidential intake first

After scheduling, complete the confidential addiction intake form when it is sent. It helps the team review current substance use, prior treatment, medications, insurance, and the safest visit type.

Nao Medical accepts Medicaid and many major insurance plans, including Medicare, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Coverage varies by visit, medication, pharmacy benefit, testing, counseling, and prior authorization. Review addiction-treatment insurance support.
