The path to good mental health is never a solo journey. Your mental health is important to your family, friends, and all who care about you. And at UPMC Western Behavioral Health, you become part of a supporting and caring community focused on your best outcomes.
Our programs:
Addiction and substance use disorders can take over your life. We can help you regain control. We have a methadone program, three detox centers, and other substance use programs for adults ages 18 and older. Our specialized mental health providers also offer programs for adolescents with addiction and substance use disorders.
There’s no single cause of mental health problems. Some start at a young age but aren't diagnosed until adulthood. Most mental health issues are caused by a combination of factors. Our programs can help treat and manage your mental health care issues, such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
Autism and other developmental disorders often require life-long mental and behavioral health support. Western Behavioral Health provides a full range of care for individuals from childhood to adulthood.

The National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that 50% of lifelong mental health issues start by age 14. Our programs provide age-appropriate mental health care for kids and teens ages 18 and under.
The UPMC Center for Eating Disorders is one of the nation's treatment programs linked to an academic medical center. UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital offers adolescent and adult inpatient and outpatient care. We also work closely with UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to treat children with eating problems.

Older adults can experience mental health challenges for many reasons — from isolation and loss of family and friends to illness, chronic pain, and loss of mobility. Older adults also are at increased risk of dementia and depression. Western Behavioral Health brings decades of experience, research, and care to treat both the mental and physical health needs of older adults.
According to NAMI, 6% of adults in the United States have a severe mental illness. These include bipolar disorder, psychosis, or schizophrenia. We offer you understanding and judgement-free support as you deal with your illness.
