If you're interested in medication-assisted treatment (MAT—such as buprenorphine or methadone for opioid use, or naltrexone for alcohol or opioid use), 4 Cortland centers accept patients already prescribed these medications. Four centers also provide naloxone and overdose education, an essential safeguard. Confirm with individual listings to learn which medications each provider works with and whether they prescribe on-site.

Confirm these directly with individual centers, or explore nearby regional centers like Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse, which have broader program variety.
