Pyramid Altoona Tradition Halfway House
About Pyramid Altoona Tradition Halfway House
Pyramid Altoona Tradition Halfway House, conveniently located in Altoona, Pennsylvania, near the Railroaders Memorial Museum, offers a dedicated residential treatment environment for women. This facility specializes in addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns, providing a supportive and structured setting for long-term recovery. Pyramid Healthcare is committed to making treatment affordable, accepting most private insurance and Medicaid, and offering various finance options, with most residents typically staying for approximately 90 days.
The therapeutic approach at Tradition House integrates individual and group therapy. Individual sessions combine evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness-based treatments. Group therapy focuses on crucial aspects like relapse prevention and 12-Step facilitation, fostering a strong foundation for sustained sobriety. For clients already on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) via Methadone, Suboxone, or Vivitrol, the facility supports continued care and can help arrange MAT for those interested after their stay.
A key component of the halfway house model is comprehensive work and life skills training. Residents progress through the SHOW (surrender, honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness) level system, gaining increased opportunities for work, volunteering, and pursuing education. Life skills training includes resume building, job application support, goal setting, financial management, and housing planning. A specialized 12-week parenting track is also available, empowering clients in their roles as mothers. Additionally, residents receive education on diverse topics like nutrition and spirituality.
The facility's strategic location offers excellent accessibility, with convenient access to I-99 and Highway 36 for residents across Blair County. Public transportation is readily available, with bus lines stopping directly across the street, and the Altoona Amtrak Station just four blocks away. This comprehensive support, combined with practical life skills and accessible location, fosters a strong pathway to independence and lasting recovery for women.
