Allentown Comprehensive Treatment Ctr

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 13 miles away in Bethlehem.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Allentown, 10 miles away.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Orefield.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Orefield.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Orefield.

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Nothing about calling again is unusual. Intake lines hear it daily.
