Spectrum Health and Human Services Downtown Buffalo Counseling Center

Known for its proximity to Niagara Falls, Buffalo, New York, is home to Spectrum Health and Human Services Downtown Buffalo Counseling Center. Since 1973, this outpatient Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) has welcomed adults battling substance use and mental health disorders.

High Quality Care, Regardless of Finances

One great feature I noticed was that they serve everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. As a CCBHC, they accept multiple payment forms, including private and public health insurance as well as self pay methods. If you don’t have insurance, you may be eligible for discounted fees based on income and family size.

Health Home & Integrated Care Coordination

What strikes me most is that they offer care coordination. Wyoming and Erie County residents struggling with chronic addiction, mental health, or physical conditions can access tailored assistance.

Their team provides ongoing advocacy and networking to help you reach your recovery goals and successfully thrive in the community. You can access referrals to treatment, education, housing, transportation, primary medical care, specialized services, and more.

I also think their emphasis on integrated care is beneficial. They offer a whole person approach, providing services and referrals for holistic healing. You can access smoking cessation services, wellness and dietary assistance, health education, and case management recommendations. You’ll benefit from continuous support to improve essential recovery aspects to nurture overall wellness.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Another great feature I noticed was their MAT program for opioid and alcohol use disorder. With MAT, you can tackle the physical and emotional aspects of quitting substances simultaneously. Medications can ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, as you participate in group and individual therapy to get to the root of addiction.
