Altoona Detoxification Unit
Bernadette Grove, Program Director

Detoxification

Clients are ensured a safe, medically-supervised detoxification. Our detox is based on a drug-free model, however, medications are used when they will relieve the physical discomfort of detoxification. Buprenorphine is part of our protocol for the detoxification of opiate-dependent clients.

The facility features a completely remodeled 16 bed unit with separate wings for men and women. A detox specialist offers group and individual counseling to clients who are physically stable and able to begin their recovery program.
