How this clinic compares in Erie

This is an opioid treatment program, so medication is usually taken on site rather than picked up at a pharmacy.

Stairways Drug and Alcohol is one of 19 buprenorphine providers listed in Erie. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 4 other Erie clinics, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

What stands out here

  • It is accredited by the Joint Commission. Only 2 of 19 Erie clinics do (11%).
  • It doses on site as an opioid treatment program. Only 4 of 19 Erie clinics do (21%).
  • It accepts Medicare. Only 7 of 19 Erie clinics do (37%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it offers telehealth. 63% of Erie clinics do, so this is worth confirming rather than assuming.

Worth asking when you call

  • Whether they are taking new patients, which changes faster than the registry updates.
  • The self-pay price for a first visit, and whether the medication is billed separately.
  • How soon a first appointment is available, and what to bring.
