About Safe Harbor Behavioral Health of UPMC
UPMC Western Behavioral Health’s facility at Safe Harbor offers outpatient and intensive outpatient programs in Erie, Pennsylvania. These programs serve adolescents and adults with mental health and substance use disorders.
This center connects clients directly to research-backed treatment at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital. They gladly take most major insurance providers, including Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE.
Assessments and Tailored Treatment Plans
The staff matches treatment services to each client’s unique needs. That begins with a detailed assessment to determine the right level of care. Services can include medical treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders, peer support and group and individual counseling.
Building Healthy Habits in Recovery
As part of their Addiction Medicine Services program, your therapist will help recognize triggers and teach new coping skills to manage them. You’ll also learn strategies to stay healthy and sober while adjusting to life in recovery. I think it’s helpful that a relapse prevention plan is developed to guide you in maintaining long-term sobriety.
Integrating Therapy and 12 Steps
They combine evidence-based therapy with elements of the 12 Step program to support the recovery process. I noticed that they encourage loved ones to participate in planning and treatment by providing support while helping clients repair relationships strained by substance use. Isle State Park and the Erie Zoo are not too far away should clients need respite alongside their families.
