Questions people ask about UPMC Mercy Hospital

Is UPMC Mercy Hospital residential or day treatment?

They offer inpatient hospital, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Pittsburgh has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

What does UPMC Mercy Hospital detox from?

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Pittsburgh has 8 other centers to compare.

Does UPMC Mercy Hospital treat older adults?

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Pittsburgh.

Does UPMC Mercy Hospital prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Pittsburgh, not all of them do.

What else is near UPMC Mercy Hospital?

Is there a program at UPMC Mercy Hospital for people like me?

People dealing with past trauma are one of the 6 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

What will I actually pay?

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. A quote for 30 days and a quote for 90 days get presented the same way, so the length is the first thing to check. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.

What happens to school?

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
