Questions people ask about Western PA Adult and Teen Challenge
What treatment does Western PA Adult and Teen Challenge offer?
They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.
Can you detox at Western PA Adult and Teen Challenge?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Monroeville is the nearest place that does it, 9.9 miles away.
Is there anywhere else close by?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Cheswick, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Does Western PA Adult and Teen Challenge treat older adults?
They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Cheswick.
Is Western PA Adult and Teen Challenge an option for a veteran?
They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Cheswick it may be mixed.
Which medications does Western PA Adult and Teen Challenge prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Cheswick, not all of them do.
What should I be comparing?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.
How long is the wait?
Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Ask what the fastest route into treatment is this week, and take that answer seriously.
