About Evergreen Health Elmwood Avenue
People interested in safer use, less use or stopping can get outpatient substance use care at Evergreen Health. It’s a community health center in Buffalo, New York. LGBTQ+ health care is a specialty there.
Is buprenorphine available here?
Buprenorphine is available as low-threshold Suboxone for people who use opiates, and that usually means there aren’t as many steps before a first prescription. Evergreen Health also offers outpatient methadone and naltrexone.
Does Evergreen take Medicaid?
If you’re worried about the bill, Evergreen Health takes Medicaid and Medicare, along with private health insurance and self-pay. A sliding fee discount is available for people who are uninsured or underinsured.
Is virtual care an option?
Substance use care at Evergreen Health is in person or virtually. A virtual visit means you aren’t in the building for that appointment, so getting there doesn’t depend on a ride.
