About UPMC/Mercy Hospital Acute Medical Detox

The Addiction Medicine program at UPMC Mercy is an inpatient, 18-bed, medically managed detoxification unit.

Our specially certified team of doctors, nurses, counselors, and social workers:

  • Provides around-the-clock care and detox treatment.
  • Combines outstanding medical care with complete addiction treatment services.
  • Safely and successfully guides people who are dependent on alcohol or drugs through the detox process.

Most people come into the Addiction Medicine program through UPMC Mercy’s Emergency Department (ED).

Before we can admit you to the program, you must meet specific criteria for medically necessary inpatient detox.

Treatment Options

The drug and alcohol detox treatment process includes:

  • A complete assessment of your medical, psychiatric, and addiction disorders. We’ll assess you either in the ED or in the hospital’s inpatient unit.
  • The use of proper medications and counseling to complete the initial detox process.
  • A post-detox treatment plan, including referrals, tailored to your needs.

Detox is just the first step in treating a drug or alcohol addiction.

Our social services staff will work with you and your care team throughout the detox process. Social services will then decide the level of aftercare that will best meet your needs.
