Taking the first step toward recovery can feel impossible. But there are resources within your reach to help you with a substance use disorder.
At UPMC Western Behavioral Health Addiction Medicine Services, our dedicated and expert staff help people with substance use disorders and addiction. You can be confident that you will be treated with dignity and respect. You will be seen as a whole person.
We’ll be with you for your first step — and each step after — to support you in your recovery goals.
With locations in the greater Pittsburgh area and in southwestern, northwestern, and west central Pennsylvania, as well as western New York, you can find the care you need close to home.
You do not have to stop substance use to start treatment.
Addiction can shatter your life and the lives of those who care about you. It can cause lasting damage to your health, your relationships, and your life’s goals. UPMC Western Addiction Medicine Services’ nationally recognized programs help people of all ages. We provide innovative, proven treatments for all types of substance use disorders, addictions, and related problems.
We offer treatments for addictions to prescription, recreational or illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, as well as gaming or gambling.
We also support the mental and behavioral health problems that often go hand-in-hand with substance use.
If you come to us with a drug or alcohol emergency, we go beyond treating the crisis. Our warm handoff means you’ll be connected to continued care and support before you leave the hospital. Treatment programs, mental health help, medicine for opioid use, immediate housing, peer support, and someone to guide your recovery are some of the services that can help you.
We have the multidisciplinary expertise and decades of experience to help people with substance use, addiction, and mental and behavioral health issues. As part of UPMC, we bring the added resources of a major academic and innovative research center to our compassionate care.
Our research-based substance use disorder and addiction treatments include basic and intensive outpatient care, inpatient hospitalization, and residential care. These programs can help treat both substance use and mental health conditions. Our strong relationships with community partners can connect you to the other support services you may need to move forward.
UPMC Addiction Medicine Services also supports addiction medicine services at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, UPMC Magee-Womens Pregnancy and Women’s Recovery Center, UPMC Mercy, and UPMC McKeesport.
