Questions people ask about Northern Erie Clinical Services

What treatment does Northern Erie Clinical Services offer?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Tonawanda is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Does Northern Erie Clinical Services offer a detox?

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

Is medication assisted treatment available at Northern Erie Clinical Services?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Buffalo, not all of them do.

Are there free support meetings in Buffalo?

Buffalo has 255 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

What else is near Northern Erie Clinical Services?

The nearest other center is 2.0 miles away, in Tonawanda, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Should I live at the center?

Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.

Is what I say in a session confidential?

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Ask for a copy of any release you sign, and read what it covers.

Will I lose my job?

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
