Drug & Alcohol Detox in Yonkers, NY

Yonkers, New York’s fourth-largest city, sits in the southwestern corner of Westchester County directly on the border with the Bronx. That geography matters for anyone searching for detox care, as residents have access to both Westchester County’s treatment network and, depending on insurance and location, facilities across the county line in New York City.

All detox and substance use disorder programs operating in Yonkers must be certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS), the state agency responsible for licensing, inspecting and regulating addiction treatment at every level of care.

State-certified programs meet minimum clinical and safety standards and are authorized to bill New York Medicaid. Hospital-based detox, including services at St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers, is available for higher-acuity patients who need round-the-clock medical supervision during withdrawal.

Facilities may also carry voluntary accreditation from The Joint Commission or the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), which signals adherence to higher clinical standards beyond the state minimum.

At the county level, the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health coordinates local SUD services and oversees the Opioid Response and Overdose Prevention Initiative (ORI), a coordinated program launched in February 2022 in response to rising overdose deaths.

The ORI unites eight county departments, the District Attorney’s Office and law enforcement to share overdose data, expand naloxone access, and improve treatment referral pathways. And in 2024, Westchester distributed more than $4.1 million in opioid settlement funds to local organizations for treatment, prevention, harm reduction and recovery services.

Key MAT Medications and Regulatory Status in Yonkers

New York follows federal MAT regulations under SAMHSA and the DEA, with OASAS providing state-level oversight of opioid treatment programs and other certified providers.

Buprenorphine:

Since the elimination of the DEA X waiver in 2023, any licensed prescriber with a standard DEA registration can initiate buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder. This has expanded access in Westchester County through primary care offices, outpatient clinics and telehealth.

Lexington Center for Recovery, the Hudson Valley’s largest SUD provider, operates clinics in New Rochelle, Mount Kisco, and Peekskill, offering buprenorphine as part of comprehensive MAT programs.

Naltrexone:

Available without special licensing restrictions and prescribed by any licensed clinician. Used in both oral (daily tablet) and injectable (Vivitrol, monthly) forms. Particularly common for alcohol use disorder and for individuals transitioning out of opioid agonist therapy. New York Medicaid covers both formulations.
