OASAS regulations at Part 817 of Title 14 NYCRR establish a new, "Chemical Dependence Residential Rehabilitation Services for Youth" (RRSY) program. Under this program, adolescents (no older than 21) will receive medical and psychiatric care, a higher staff-topatient ratio and substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation. Because of this regulation, certain substance abuse treatment programs will be converted from OASAS-certified Congregate Care Level 2 (CC2) facilities to OASAS-certified Chemical Dependence Residential Rehabilitation Services for Youth facilities. Under the new designation, facilities may be reimbursed by MA.
