Ponessa Behavioral Health is an outpatient treatment center for substance abuse and other behavioral health issues in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They actually have several locations in the region, and they can help adults and adolescents ages 13 and older.
This outpatient facility can provide a type of outpatient detox called medication assisted treatment, or MAT. They use medications like methadone or Suboxone to gradually reduce your physical dependence on certain drugs. This is typically for opioids like fentanyl and heroin and prescription pain medication like Oxycontin, but some MAT providers have medications they use for alcohol detox, too. MAT may not be suitable for clients of all ages, but the providers here will be able to look at your circumstances and determine the best way to help you detox.
It’s important to keep in mind that MAT helps ease you off of drugs from a physical standpoint, but addiction is largely mental too. That’s why during your MAT program you’ll also have individual therapy and group therapy for addiction recovery. They have speciality groups that can help with certain circumstances and needs. They also offer mental health care for co-occurring disorders.
This treatment center is partially funded by county organizations and programs, but they also accept certain public and private funding like select insurance plans.
The client reviews here are overall positive. A lot of clients say that the staff here is caring and dedicated to their work, and that the therapists as well as the reception and administration staff are friendly and kind. Several say that they’ve developed a strong bond with their therapist and feel like their therapist is invested in their success.
