Questions people ask about Beacon Center

Which levels of care does Beacon Center have?

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.

Can you detox at Beacon Center?

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

Is telehealth available at Beacon Center?

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

Does Beacon Center have beds?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Buffalo.

Who are the programs at Beacon Center built for?

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 7 named here.

Can a 16 year old be treated at Beacon Center?

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

Is there a sliding scale?

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in every state, though which centers accept it varies from county to county. Ask what the total looks like with your plan and without it, and ask what the quote leaves out.

Is medication assisted treatment effective?

Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. Ask what happens if the first medication does not suit you.
