You’ll find Pyramid Healthcare Altoona Outpatient Treatment Center in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles east of Pittsburgh. This treatment center provides comprehensive addiction and mental health care for adults and youth in Blair County and surrounding areas.
You can access medication assisted treatment (MAT) and several outpatient programs to start or continue your journey. Detox is also available a short drive away at their Duncansville location. They accept most major insurance plans, Medicaid and county funding.
Various MAT Options
What stands out most to me is their various MAT options. This approach provides a blend of FDA approved medications and behavioral therapy to overcome heroin, alcohol or other opioid addictions.
They understand that recovery looks different for everyone. You can access methadone, Sublocade, Subutex, Brixadi, Suboxone or Vivitrol. These medications manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings that can hinder recovery. They also provide targeted MAT for pregnant women.
Tobacco Cessation Program
I also think it’s great that they offer a tobacco cessation program. While often overlooked, nicotine addiction can be just as detrimental to overall wellness as other substances. You can access customized strategies to overcome nicotine addiction, including counseling. They help you learn effective coping skills while providing the tools to make healthier decisions and sustain recovery.
Certified Recovery Specialists
Another nice feature that caught my eye was their recovery support services. You can connect with a certified recovery specialist to receive guidance and assistance throughout your journey. Recovery specialists have personal experience in recovery and use their perspectives to support and advocate for you. You’ll benefit from personalized assistance to reach your recovery goals.
Levels of Care

Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.

Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
