Questions people ask about Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute
What kind of care does Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Lemoyne is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute offer a detox?
They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Harrisburg, 3.1 miles away.
Which medications does Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute prescribe?
They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Harrisburg offers both.
Are there other centers close to Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Harrisburg.
What special programs does Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute offer?
People who are pregnant or just postpartum are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
What is there in Harrisburg that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Harrisburg has 16 NA meetings and 113 free AA meetings.
What are the warning signs of a bad program?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
Can I do a shorter program?
Anything from a week to a year, depending on what is being treated and how. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.
