About Mercy Behavioral Health Pittsburgh

Mercy Behavioral Health Pittsburgh is a behavioral health and substance use treatment program in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The program offers intensive outpatient (IOP) services, outpatient counseling, and medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) support for adults and adolescents facing addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Outpatient Treatment and Specialized Groups

The IOP meets three hours per day, three days per week, and integrates psychiatry, individual therapy, and group counseling for co-occurring substance use and mental health needs. Outpatient individual therapy is also available on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis.

I am always impressed when I see a facility that offers specialized groups that are unique because of a group name. Outpatient groups include Keeping Recovery, Motivation in Recovery and Harm Reduction, and a dedicated MOUD group that supports clients using medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone.

Treatment is guided by evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with a focus on dual diagnosis care and relapse prevention.
