Addiction Treatment Referral for Medical Providers | Williamsville Wellness

Patient Eligibility Flowchart for Medical Provider Referrals

Use this clinical decision-making chart to determine when and how to refer patients for addiction treatment services.

Does the patient report engaging in gambling activities and/or using alcohol, drugs, non-prescribed substances?
ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR REPORTED
Continue to next question to determine potential level of care and timing of referral. A clinician will make the ultimate decision regarding level of care.
NO ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR REPORTED
Screen for mental health conditions. Our addiction treatment referral for medical providers team provides consultation if the clinical picture is unclear or involves complex comorbidities.
Last use within 3-5 days (alcohol, benzos, opioids)?
YES
Refer to medical detox first for safety. Williamsville cannot provide detox services, but we can begin treatment after they are medically stable (typically 3-5+ days post-detox).
MEDICALLY STABLE
Patient is appropriate for direct referral. We can provide comprehensive assessment and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Is the patient showing any of the following?
  • Compulsive behavior (gambling, overuse of prescribed medications)
  • Repeated relapses or treatment failures
  • Failed previous IOP or outpatient treatment attempts
  • Underlying anxiety, depression, or trauma history
YES TO ANY
Strong candidate for our residential treatment or structured IOP/PHP programs. Complex cases benefit from our comprehensive, trauma-informed approach.
Is patient ready to engage in behavioral treatment?
YES
Call for same-day consultation and immediate intake scheduling. Motivated patients can begin treatment quickly with our streamlined process.
UNSURE
We welcome patients at all stages of readiness, but we are a 100% voluntary program. Our comprehensive assessment process helps determine the best treatment approach for each individual.
