About House of the Crossroads
House of Crossroads is a long-standing residential and outpatient treatment center located on Centre Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They offer support for adults who are struggling with substance use disorder (SUD).
Addiction Treatment in Pittsburgh
They offer both inpatient and outpatient treatment here. Some people need a longer stay in a stable and structured setting. Others just need strong outpatient care to keep things steady while they handle work or family.
If there’s more going on than just addiction, like anxiety, depression or trauma then they can treat that too. In addition to therapy, other treatment services include peer support, job counseling and even family therapy to help rebuild life from all angles. They also have an educational program for clients who are dealing with HIV and hepatitis.
A Safe Space for Vulnerable Communities
What stands out the most is who they serve at House of the Crossroads. They extend their services to a large population including those living with HIV or PTSD as well as LGBTQ+ folks, trauma survivors, court-referred clients and young adults. They also work with teens starting at age 16.
They take Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE. They offer sliding scale options based on income.
Sober Recreation in the City
Whether you’re finishing inpatient treatment or looking for something to do when you’re not in an outpatient program, Pittsburgh offers a ton of fun sober activities. The city is home to interesting cultural sites like the Andy Warhol Museum as well as the Pittsburgh Zoo and PNC Park.
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Young Adult Program
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
