Victory Treatment Group

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

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Shamokin does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Shamokin is something they handle.

They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Shamokin.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 4 centers near Shamokin differ on it.

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.

A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
