Pyramid Healthcare

About Pyramid Healthcare

Pyramid Healthcare is a recovery housing provider based in Erie, Pennsylvania, serving Erie and Altoona.

A Statewide Behavioral Health Provider

Pyramid Healthcare runs a continuum of addiction treatment services across Pennsylvania and several other states, spanning detox, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient care and recovery housing. Its recovery housing functions as the step after clinical treatment, giving residents a stable address while they rebuild a routine.

Two Recovery Houses in Erie and Blair Counties

Pyramid Healthcare operates men's recovery housing at:

• Crosswinds Recovery House, 3102 Ellsworth Avenue, Erie.
• Grey House, 831 Sixth Avenue, Altoona.

Erie is the seat of Erie County in the state's northwest corner, and Altoona sits well to the south in Blair County, so the two houses serve entirely separate regions rather than one metro area.

Licensed Recovery Housing Under Act 59

Pyramid Healthcare's Erie recovery house is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017. Licensing is voluntary in Pennsylvania, and a provider of Pyramid Healthcare's size choosing to license a house signals a level of state oversight most unlicensed operators skip entirely.

A Continuum From Treatment to Housing

Because Pyramid Healthcare also runs clinical treatment programs, a resident coming out of one of its own inpatient or outpatient tracks can move into its recovery housing without switching organizations or repeating an intake history. That continuity is the main advantage of choosing a treatment provider that also runs housing.

Serving Erie and Blair Counties

Erie is the largest city in northwestern Pennsylvania, and Altoona anchors Blair County in the state's center. Pyramid Healthcare's presence in both puts recovery housing inside two regional hubs that most surrounding counties lack at the same scale.

Reaching Pyramid Healthcare

Referrals and applications can go through Pyramid Healthcare directly. Worth asking: whether admission requires completing one of the organization's own treatment programs first, what the weekly cost covers, and how a complaint about the housing is handled.
