Community Impact
Community coalitions are grassroots organizations that operate locally to promote addiction prevention. Coalition members are not addiction service professionals, they are everyday New Yorkers united by a common goal: combating addiction in their community and in the state of New York. Additionally, OASAS partners at Friends of Recovery New York organize and lead a network of Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs).
