About Catholic Health – Sisters Health Center Amherst
Catholic Health - Sisters Health Center Amherst is located in Amherst, New York. They offer addiction management and primary care services. What I find to be a huge benefit is that they are open seven days a week. Plus if uninsured or underinsured, you will not be turned away due to inability to pay. They provide a discounted sliding fee schedule that is based on your family size and income.
The fact that they include primary care is a huge benefit. Your doctors work together so that you may become physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. Through their primary care services you’re able to receive mental health counseling, nutrition counseling and infusion therapy.
Through their addiction management care, they provide substance abuse treatment. You’ll receive outpatient counseling for drug and alcohol addiction. Treatment will depend on the severity of your addiction and the type of drug that you’re using. Your treatment plan will be based on your personal needs. While some individuals only need to see a counselor, others may need a referral to one of their other locations for medical treatment that requires more intense care.
Parking at this facility is free for patients and visitors. The parking lot is also next to the facility, so you will not need to walk a long distance.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
