About Horizon Health Services Inc

Horizon Health Services is a nonprofit behavioral health provider serving Tonawanda, New York, and the wider Western New York region, treating substance and alcohol use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions. Established in 1975, they rank among the largest outpatient mental health and addiction treatment providers in the area, with more than 20 sites across Erie, Niagara, and Genesee Counties and telehealth options for New York residents. Their core addiction care is appointment-based outpatient treatment for adolescents 13 and older, adults, and families. Through their affiliate Horizon Village, they also offer inpatient detox, crisis stabilization, and residential rehabilitation at campuses in Buffalo and Sanborn.

Counseling is available in individual, group, and family formats, using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. Medical providers conduct addiction medicine consultations and prescribe medication-assisted treatment, including buprenorphine, Suboxone, Sublocade, naltrexone, and Vivitrol, to help manage cravings and withdrawal from opioids and alcohol, with psychiatric consultation available as well. Peer advocates with lived experience support people in recovery, while family peer advocates and a dedicated Family Support Team help loved ones understand and navigate the treatment system. Other services include DWI assessments, harm reduction education, Medicaid care coordination for complex health needs, and free vocational counseling for Erie and Niagara County residents in OASAS-licensed care, covering career exploration, resume building, and job retention.
