About Western Psychiatric Inst and Clinic CPCDS
The Center of Excellence, part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s (UPMC) Western Psychiatric Hospital, is a drug rehab in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The center offers ambulatory medical or social detox, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), inpatient (IP) and outpatient programs (OP), and aftercare services for young adults and adults.
At Western Psychiatric Hospital, clients are placed in a structured environment to ease their withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Clinicians administer FDA-approved prescriptions, including methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, to strengthen sobriety, while a case management team addresses co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders. Clients may opt for a holistic approach, which includes life skills development without medications. Clients may undergo drug screenings and psychiatric services to discourage relapse.
After detox, clients transition into long-term inpatient or outpatient programs. Services include enrollment in 12 12-step programs or individual and group therapy to build resilience. Western Psychiatric Hospital may make additional referrals to outside treatment centers for specialized substance abuse programs.
Western Psychiatric Hospital offers self-pay and financing options. The center accepts Medicare and is in network with Aetna, Cigna, Community Care Behavioral Health, Highmark, MA Fee For Service, Magellan Health, United Behavioral Health, Value Behavioral Health, and Western Behavioral Health. Please check your insurance provider for coverage and out-of-network benefits.
