Pyramid Altoona Outpatient

Pyramid Healthcare’s Altoona Outpatient program helps teens and adults who are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction (including tobacco) and co-occurring mental health challenges. They offer day treatment (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), general outpatient (OP), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Clients receive care in a flexible setting while staying connected to school, work, and home.
Treatment plans include individual, group, and family therapy, with approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention teach clients how to manage emotions and build healthier habits. MAT services help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, using medications such as Methadone, Sublocade, and Subutex (which is safe for pregnant women and their children).
Additional services include psychiatric care, DUI programming, and drug and alcohol assessments. Teens and those with both substance use and mental health concerns receive focused care. Recognized as a Center of Excellence for opioid treatment by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Pyramid Altoona is committed to helping clients stay on track with long-term recovery.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Pyramid Altoona Outpatient provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Pyramid Altoona Outpatient offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 7 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Pyramid Altoona Outpatient works with 24 insurance providers.
