Questions people ask about UPMC Western Behav Health at Mon Yough

Do I have to come in person to UPMC Western Behav Health at Mon Yough?
They do video appointments, which matters if McKeesport is a drive for you.
Is there anything in McKeesport besides paid treatment?
McKeesport has 5 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
A previous attempt is information rather than a mark against you. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
How long is the wait?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. Widening the search past your own county usually shortens the wait, because availability is uneven between neighboring areas. Ask what can be started while you wait.
