Questions people ask about Portage Path Behavioral Health

Which levels of care does Portage Path Behavioral Health have?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Akron has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Can you detox at Portage Path Behavioral Health?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Akron offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Does Portage Path Behavioral Health have beds?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Akron.

Which medications does Portage Path Behavioral Health prescribe?

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Akron.

What special programs does Portage Path Behavioral Health offer?

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Akron does.

Are there other centers close to Portage Path Behavioral Health?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Akron, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

What do I say when I call?

Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

Who finds out that I went to treatment?

A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.
