Disclaimer
Last updated: April 2026.
Not a Licensed Treatment Facility
The Summit Addiction Center ("The Summit", "we", "our") is a referral and placement resource for inpatient addiction treatment. We are not a licensed treatment facility, detox center, hospital, or healthcare provider. We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or administer medical care. Placement advisors verify insurance benefits and coordinate admissions to licensed, OASAS-certified inpatient treatment programs. All clinical care occurs at the licensed facility you are matched with.
No Medical Advice
Content on thesummitaddictioncenter.com is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Do not rely on information found on this website as a substitute for professional medical guidance. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with questions about a medical condition.
Medical Emergencies
If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency or a drug overdose, call 911 immediately. For immediate crisis support, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For NYC-specific 24/7 support, call NYC Well at (888) 692-9355.
Insurance Verification
Insurance benefits information provided by placement advisors is based on data returned by your insurance carrier at the time of verification. Final coverage determinations, claims adjudication, and payment are made by your insurance carrier and the inpatient treatment facility — not by The Summit. Coverage is not guaranteed based on a preliminary verification call.
