They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Buffalo has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Buffalo does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Buffalo specifically.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Buffalo.

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

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.

Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.

It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
