New York S01987 mandates hospitals to offer medically supervised detoxification services to all patients needing them.

New York S01987 amends the public health law to require hospitals to provide medically supervised detoxification services to all patients requiring such services. If a hospital reaches ninety percent capacity or greater, it must connect the patient to an alternative facility within their network to access these services without any increased risk to the health or life of the patient. This ensures continuous access to necessary medical care for detoxification.
