Pinnacle Trt Servs of Aliquippa – Aliquippa

They make up rules and kick you out without stabilizing you. Then when you are justifiably frustrated they refuse to help you and leave you hanging. They are only in it for the money, their "counselor's" are a revolving… door of people that just keep getting worse. The medical board should investigate them, they are going to end up hurting a lot of people that are already struggling. If you can go somewhere else, you should.

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.

The people here lie about patients and make things up to make it extremely hard for a person to get help. These folks should have their license revoked, half time a nurse sees the patient and doctor isn’t even in the… building, by far the most unprofessional place my friend had ever been. They don’t care about a person getting help, all they care about is taking your money and then saying you didn’t pay when u did.

They are the absolute worst clinic , you are making a big mistake going here. They cant keep counselors, never anything right.

I have been going for more than two years and have some all they have asked of me but in the middle of the pandemic provoked my take hones from once every two weeks to three times a week and I am a high risk and can… only get there by bus. They know this but are putting my life at risk for a positive urine test. Nobody should face a possible death sentence for this and it makes me want to use off the streets as I could have a dealer come right to my house! 6 months before they give my privileges back during a pandemic and the counselors do not wear mask!

They are really nice and care about you then most clinic

I have been able to get the help I needed from Pinnacle Treatment Services for a few years now and it def has saved my life. The nurses are so very nice and so is the Doctor. Also I think the counseling sessions help a… lot especially if you have a great counselor like I do. I def recommend going here and to help get your life back.

So if you do a intake they only schedule them between 0600 and 0645, with only 1 bus that can get you there by time.. i think their "doctor" would be able to stay a little longer than 1 hr if they have around 400… patients. Maybe Im in the wrong field..I would love to work 1 hour a week!!

Great place to get better.

Anyone who needs it will appreciate it.

I know someone who is in there program and so far this is the best way to get clean, and stay clean.
