Meetings in Scranton

Treatment and fellowship meetings do different jobs, and most people end up using both.

Questions people ask about TPALS

Is TPALS inpatient or outpatient?

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

Does TPALS offer a detox?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Wyoming is the nearest place that does it, 11 miles away.

Does TPALS treat teenagers?

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Scranton about a teenager is in the right place.

Is a diagnosis handled at TPALS as well?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Scranton that is the part that varies.

Can TPALS handle a court referral?

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 4 things they offer a named program for.

What is there in Scranton that costs nothing?

Alongside this, Scranton has 17 NA meetings and 50 free AA meetings.

What questions should I ask a center?

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

What do I say when I call?

Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.
