Jade Wellness Center

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Pittsburgh is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They provide detox for 2 substances: alcohol and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Monroeville has 8 other centers.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Monroeville may not have a second place set up for it.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adolescents, adult men, adult women, past trauma and pregnant/postpartum.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Monroeville differ on it.

Ask three centers and you will get three different figures, because they are pricing three different programs. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

One of them takes the decision to use out of your hands for a while. The other leaves it with you. A residential stay is the easier thing to get approved when there is a documented medical reason for it. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.

Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
