Erie County Medical Center – Northern Erie Clinical Services

The Northern Erie Clinic Services is located in Tonawanda, New York. They are part of the Erie County Medical Center. At this location they provide outpatient substance use treatment services. They accept Medicaid and Medicare insurance plans. If you’re uninsured they have a financial counseling team that is able to help. They are able to provide a sliding fee scale and a non interest loan program as well as grant programs.

You will have an evaluation done before beginning any treatment. The evaluation will help determine the best level of care for you. Their individual counseling session can be either long term or short term. I like that they have a few options for medication when it comes to medication assisted treatment. They are able to offer Suboxone, naltrexone, and Vivitrol. I like that they also provide a psychiatric consultation to determine if you have an underlying co-occurring disorder.

What I like about the facility is that they have a specialized program for individuals who have a dual diagnosis. The dual diagnosis treatment program allows counselors to provide treatment to those who have a mental illness and chemical dependency. They also have a treatment program for anyone who has a dual diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder and addiction.
