Mainstream Counseling

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 Huntingdon is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Mount Union does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 9.8 miles away in Huntingdon.

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Mount Union has 2 other centers.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Mount Union has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 2 centers near Mount Union differ on it.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
