Questions people ask about TPALS

Is TPALS inpatient or outpatient?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Kingston, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.

Can you detox at TPALS?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Wilkes Barre, 2.3 miles away.

Is there a program at TPALS for people like me?

They offer a program for court referrals, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Wilkes Barre has 8 other centers to ask.

Does TPALS prescribe medication for opioid use?

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 Wilkes Barre has 8 other centers.

What is there in Wilkes Barre that costs nothing?

Wilkes Barre has 31 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?

Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

What will I be asked on the phone?

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?

One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Ask whether they offer the middle levels, because many only offer the two ends.
