About UPMC McKeesport
UPMC McKeesport is a hospital based addiction treatment center in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. They're located on 5th Avenue.
They offer medically managed detox and short term inpatient rehab for adults with substance use disorders.
I'm impressed by all the services they provide. They support people who have relapsed after prior detox or who need hospital level medical care during withdrawal and recovery.
I also like their emphasis on physical wellness, stabilization, recovery skills and sustainable sobriety.
24/7 Medically Managed Detox
Your care will often begin with medically managed detox. It's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's an average stay of four to six days.
You can transition from there into short term inpatient rehab with daily programming from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Average stays are 15 to 21 days.
I appreciate their holistic approach. You can expect individual, group and family therapy alongside personalized treatment and recovery planning.
They'll address cooccurring mental health needs and includes discharge planning, relapse prevention resources, peer support and referrals to lower levels of care if that's what you need.
