About Pinnacle Treatment Services of Aliquippa
By going to their medical doctor and licensed therapists onsite, you’ll benefit from their compassionate support and encouragement. They use an integrated approach of FDA-approved medications and behavioral therapy to help you reach your recovery goals. That way, you can address the physical and psychological effects of addiction in tandem.
What stands out most to me is they offer multiple medication options. You can be prescribed methadone, Suboxone, Vivitrol, or Brixadi to aid in your recovery journey. I like this approach because you’re not limited to just one intervention, increasing your access to individualized care. They understand that treatment looks different for everyone and give you options to best fit your situation.
Another feature that caught my eye is their additional treatment services. Along with the basics, you can participate in peer support, life skills training, grief and loss therapy, and anger management. They also offer gender-specific programming so you feel comfortable opening up among peers. You’ll build your own network that can help you recover.

This place refused to dose me after 4 years of clean urines. The nurses and director like to play power games with the clients to satisfy their "God" complexes. The state does nothing when they are reported. Lawyers will not take the case unless it's a slam dunk lawsuit and do not care how badly peoples civil rights are trampled in Healthcare. I'm certified to provide Healthcare, pass narcotics, and have received numerous recognition letters from CEOs and families thanking me for the level of care I have provided, only to be terminated for reporting abuse, neglect, and the same stuff I'm reporting here about this clinic. I turned my back on my career and I am currently done working in Healthcare as I refuse to be a part of a sick, greed-driven industry. If you have a loved one who is suffering with addiction and ypu want answers as to why treatment doesn't work for people who actually desire help, THIS IS EXACTLY WHY people relapse and continue to use drugs. The pandemic will never improve until people are held accountable and treat this atmosphere like an intensive care unit. For many people, this is the last stop before jail or a graveyard and it should be treated as such. People need to be treated with dignity and respect, even if you feel that you are ABOVE THEM... which seems to be the case at all clinics and doctors offices. I have video proof, but unfortunately "the commonwealth" protects money and greed and two party consent is needed for the general public to hold doctors and Healthcare accountable, yet the federal government has removed any illusions of our rights to "privacy" with an excuse that they are combating terrorism. So it's only okay for the government to violate your privacy, but when it comes to the people protecting themselves against greed, you are breaking the law!!! These people cost me time with my father who passed from cancer two years ago... just because they didn't do their jobs. So despite compliance, they pulled my take home doses for almost a year, despite full compliance, instead of giving them back to me in one month, per their own policy. They did this because no one told me I had a urine screening on a day that I was already on site getting paperwork from one of my counselors. I was there for an hour and no one told me I had to be seen by anyone, nor did I have any missed calls or messages left on my phone. These places are nothing more than poison dispensaries. Methadone is the worst thing I've ever put in my body. It destroys your body, how you feel, and your teeth. The counselor turnover rate is sick as they are underpaid children or part-timers just there for a paycheck who use the little power they have over people who are in the worst situation of their lives, to make themselves feel better about their own situations. They have no desire to help anyone. I've stayed in touch with a few counselors who agreed with me, but still needed a paycheck. They fought for me just enough to keep their jobs intact without getting fired. Each of them are willing to testify now that they have settled into better jobs, provided someone would actually take my case. I guess I can always expose them on tik tok, but I shouldn't have to go to prison for a two party consent law in a doctors office that is supposed to be the response and Frontline to our so-called opiate epidemic. There's a huge difference between being dependent on a drug for pain and performing sexual favors for anything you can get your hands on. Funny enough, these methadone doctors are all arrogant and the only thing they are good at is chasing more money and mitigating their own risks. God forbid, you take anxiety drugs. They will get you cut off if they can. Risk management! These places make it so that in order to get treatment, the forfeiture of all of your rights to protect yourself against corruption within their walls, is the only way they accept you. I've been in 5 different clinics... all the same. If they have cameras for safety, you can too. You just can't violate hipaa laws of other patients if you show the videos.
So I have been In this clinic since 2019 and wasn't clean the entire time. But the day I last used was 1/21/21. 35 clean drug test. I got pregnant the same day I got clean and my son is now 2 BTW. 35 clean drug tests and all of a sudden they tell me today that I fail for feyntal. Witch I haven't touched a drug since Jan 21st of 21. So of course my privileges are taken and I'm told because I'm "using" again they won't even let come down any more. Yes I'm on 48mgs trying to leave this clinic because they are so screwed up here. I tried calling the complaint line I tried repaying to have the test retested because I know it's a false pos. But all they say is it is what it is you shouldn't have used. I filed a grievance. I don't know what else to do. I know I didn't use and wouldn't do that to my son. But you know this place they use to send the drug tests to that give false positives is believed over me when I hadn't failed a drug test in years. Don't go to this clinic go to a different one. They are all mean anyway and treat you bad when they think you used but you haven't. My next step is contacting a laywer to see what can be done about this. Because this isn't right. I didn't use.

Hi Niki, we understand your frustration. We hope you’ll consider contacting us at your convenience so that we can learn more about your issue and address your concerns. The quickest and most effective way to do this is to call our Compliance Team at (844) 755-3399. We hope to hear from you soon.
The clinic itself is fine in my 8 month experience, however, WARNING: they cut corners by using a very bad (but cheap) laboratory for their drug tests. It is called Clinical Science Laboratory. Not JACHO accredited! And, if you google the results for the lab they use, you will see it just paid out a 1.5 million dollar claim for their incompetence. After six years without a dirty drug test, they claim this incompetent lab has tested me positive when I have not used. This has had ridiculous consequences for me for something I didn't do, and several others have experienced the same fate. I am proving my innocence with a 500$ hair follicle test from a JACHO accredited Laboratory at my own expense, to try to fight this going forward, but the clinic staff believes their incompetent Laboratory over its clients. This treatment saved my life, so if you have no other option, go here. However, if you can, I share honestly to help no one else experience this turmoil. God bless all.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Pennsylvania can be helpful to individuals who are experiencing substance use disorder and various mental health conditions. It helps you identify damaging thought and behavior patterns and replace them with healthy ones.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Personalized therapy sessions in Pennsylvania typically include a safe and nonjudgmental setting in which you can express your deepest emotions and feelings and explore the factors that have contributed to addiction. Therapists tailor the sessions to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, which improve your self control and build a foundation for your long term sobriety.
Family therapy teaches individual family members in Pennsylvania the benefits of collectively combating addiction. Therapists help individual members establish healthy boundaries between themselves and their loved one who is struggling with addiction. This helps improve emotional support systems and creates a bond so families work together to sustain long term recovery.
Life skills are the mental and social skills that are necessary to navigate day to day life. Addiction diminishes or eliminates these skills, so they must be relearned and practiced during drug rehab treatment in Pennsylvania.
