Questions people ask about UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside
What treatment does UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside offer?
They treat people at inpatient hospital, outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.
Can you detox at UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside?
They detox from alcohol, cocaine and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Pittsburgh.
Is there anything in Pittsburgh besides paid treatment?
Pittsburgh has 128 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Is UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside an option for someone under 18?
They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Pittsburgh specifically.
Does UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Pittsburgh.
Is medication assisted treatment available at UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside?
They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Pittsburgh.
Does court ordered treatment work the same way?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.
Do I need to stay overnight?
Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.
