Questions people ask about UPMC Western Maryland - Behavioral Health Services

Is UPMC Western Maryland - Behavioral Health Services residential or day treatment?

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

Is detox part of what UPMC Western Maryland - Behavioral Health Services offers?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Cumberland, under a mile away.

Does UPMC Western Maryland - Behavioral Health Services 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 Cumberland, not all of them do.

Which languages does UPMC Western Maryland - Behavioral Health Services offer treatment in?

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Cumberland does.

Can I do this by video instead?

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

Is there anything after I finish?

It is the stretch after discharge, and it tends to decide whether the program holds. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Is there a waiting list?

Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. Many programs start the paperwork while you wait, so the day a bed opens is not lost to admissions. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
