GRC Advanced Recovery Network

They offer outpatient 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.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 2.3 miles away in Monroeville.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Pittsburgh offers both.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh has 3 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Whether a psychiatrist sits on the team, and how often you would see one, separates programs here. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
