Questions people ask about Aletheia House
What kind of care does Aletheia House provide?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Birmingham has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 7.2 miles away in Birmingham.
Who is Aletheia House for?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for adult men and court referrals, which is more than most places around Birmingham name.
Which medications does Aletheia House prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Birmingham, not all of them do.
Who are the programs at Aletheia House built for?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Birmingham does.
Is there a residential program at Aletheia House?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is a few streets away in Birmingham.
What questions should I ask a center?
The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.
