Questions people ask about CleanSlate Centers
What levels of care does CleanSlate Centers offer?
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 Duncansville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does CleanSlate Centers offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Altoona, 2.3 miles away.
Does CleanSlate Centers treat older adults?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Altoona that often means one room rather than two.
How many options are within driving distance?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Altoona, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
What is there in Altoona that costs nothing?
Altoona has 13 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Does CleanSlate Centers prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Altoona, not all of them do.
How long does treatment take?
Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. The first two weeks are usually the most intensive part of whatever you choose. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?
Residential care is a bed and a program. Outpatient care is a schedule of appointments. Outpatient care is a fraction of the cost and is the level most people are treated at. Ask whether a center can carry out an assessment first rather than selling you a program.
