New York Society of Addiction Medicine NYSAM

Mission & Vision Our mission is to be the physician-led professional community for those who prevent, treat, and promote remission and recovery from the disease of substance use disorder, and to provide resources for continuing innovation, advancement, and implementation of substance use disorder science and care.

We envision a future when substance use disorder prevention, treatment, remission and recovery are accessible to all, and profoundly improve the health of all people.

Who We Are The New York Society of Addiction Medicine (NYSAM) serves as an indispensable resource for patients, families, and physicians in the treatment of addiction and substance use disorders.

We are a nonprofit group of New York-based physicians and a state chapter of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). As a part of this national organization, we dedicate ourselves to the evidence-based treatment of substance use disorders. We provide education for patients, families, and practicing medical providers, promote addiction medicine research, and advocate for medically sound public policies.

The New York Society of Addiction Medicine acts locally and regionally to support ASAM’s efforts.
