Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of New York

Our Website Has Moved!

Please be advised that Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers (ASAP) has officially merged with The Coalition for Behavioral Health and is now operating as InUnity Alliance. InUnity Alliance will serve as a catalyst for enhancing substance use disorder and mental health services in New York State, particularly as rates of overdose, suicide, and barriers to accessing services continue to rise.

We offer advocacy, training, education, and professional certification, while collaborating with a diverse network of partners, including over 200 substance use disorder and mental health care providers statewide. Our efforts are rooted in principles of justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Together, we are a driving force that strengthens the continuum of care and advances the health and well-being of communities across New York State.
