Erie County Medical Center Corporation

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Buffalo, 3 offer a bed.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Buffalo offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Veterans are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Buffalo, because a wide age range often still means one room.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Buffalo offers both.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Buffalo often still has to be in person.

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in every state, though which centers accept it varies from county to county. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. Clothing rules exist at many places, usually about what is written on it rather than what it costs. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
