Meetings in Altoona

Treatment and fellowship meetings do different jobs, and most people end up using both.

Questions people ask about UPMC

What treatment does UPMC offer?

They provide outpatient and inpatient residential. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Duncansville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Is detox part of what UPMC offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Altoona, 2.9 miles away.

Which medications does UPMC prescribe?

They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Altoona.

What is there in Altoona that costs nothing?

Altoona has 13 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Are there alternatives to UPMC?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Altoona.

Who are the programs at UPMC built for?

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 13 named here.

Do they treat anxiety alongside addiction?

It means a mental health condition alongside substance use, which describes most people in treatment. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

Who answers the phone?

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
