Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the opening of a new Mobile Medication Unit to provide addiction treatment services in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York City. MMUs offer a wide range of addiction services, and are authorized to dispense medication to treat substance use disorders, including methadone and buprenorphine, under the direction of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports. Such sites are designed to reach individuals who may face barriers to accessing traditional treatment. Funding for these mobile units was awarded under Governor Hochul in 2022, with two now active in New York City, and one additional coming online. OASAS has awarded more than $6 million in federal funding to support the development of MMUs across the state.
