Is there an interpreter at Pyramid Healthcare Inc?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Pittsburgh has 8 other centers to ask.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
What can I take with me?
Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
