Medical Wellness Center
Located in Altoona near Railroaders Memorial Museum, Pyramid Gratitude House offers sober living for men with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. Pyramid Healthcare seeks to make treatment affordable, accepting most private insurance and Medicaid, as well as accepting various finance options. Their location offers convenient access to I-99, and Highway 36, making treatment accessible for residents throughout Blair County. For clients traveling via public transportation, bus line 6 stops a block from the building.
Gratitude House offers individual therapy, combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Clients engage in group therapy, including relapse prevention and 12-Step groups to encourage long term recovery.
Residents can work, volunteer, and pursue education while receiving treatment. Clients engage in life skills training, including resume building, job application support, goal setting, and housing planning. They receive education on a broad range of topics, including nutrition and spirituality. Clients already participating in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) will be able to continue doing so at their provider, while Gratitude House will help arrange treatment for clients who wish to pursue it after their stay. Most residents stay at Gratitude House for about 90 days.
