Questions people ask about Sisters of Charity Hospital

Is Sisters of Charity Hospital residential or day treatment?

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.

Does Sisters of Charity Hospital 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 Sisters of Charity Hospital an option for someone over 65?

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.

Can you stay overnight at Sisters of Charity Hospital?

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

Which medications does Sisters of Charity Hospital prescribe?

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

Is there a sliding scale?

It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.

What does insurance actually cover?

Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.

What happens to school?

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
