Comprehensive Drug and Alcohol Treatment in Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh has the same rates of drug addiction and abuse as other areas in the United States. However, Pittsburgh has lower rates of drug addiction due to ongoing efforts by city officials. The community also has a Concerned Citizens for Drug Awareness (CCDA) organization that is working to make Pittsburgh a non-addictive zone.

That being said, the leading cause of death in the state of Pennsylvania is drug overdoses. This includes both illegal drugs and prescription medication abuse. There are three categories for illegal drugs, stimulants, depressants and hallucinogens. According to Rehabs.com there are also two categories of prescription medications that are abused illegally including pain medications and tranquilizers. Studies have shown that the number of prescription medication deaths are higher than illegal drugs overdoses.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) found that in 2009 there were estimated 679,000 persons who had used an illicit drug within the month prior to being surveyed. Also, out of all of these users 183,000 were dependent on or abused the illicit drug within the same time period.

Pittsburgh is one of many cities in the United States struggling with heroin abuse. Although heroin use is on a decline throughout the country, it is becoming more prevalent in areas that are close to major ports and borders which includes Pittsburgh.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health Emergency Medical Services (EMS), there were 1,424 drug overdose deaths in 2014. This number does not include all of the overdoses that happened outside an emergency room or hospital setting. Of these cases, 675 of the individuals who died had oxycodone in their system at time of death which indicates a possible prescription medication overdose. The rate of drug overdoses has increased by 14% since 2010 and now the leading cause of accidental death in Pennsylvania is drug related.

  • What types of treatment are available in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

    Recovering from any type of substance abuse can be a long process, but it is the most rewarding experience any addicted person will ever go through. After completing the initial detox and withdrawal, you will often be required to engage in a highly comprehensive addiction therapy program. While enrolled in a professional and effective drug rehab in Pittsburgh, the following are some of the treatment services that you can expect to receive:

    Outpatient Programs

    There are many substances that are addictive in addition to alcohol or drugs. It is difficult to stop using any one addictive substance without treatment. An outpatient drug addiction program will help the addict with the process of withdrawal and provides tools needed for sobriety.

    There are tons of outpatient drug addiction programs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The time period of treatment can vary depending on the individual’s needs and how long they were abusing the substance that is addictive. The kinds of drugs that are most likely to be abused or take over one’s life include heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine , benzodiazepenes (such as Xanax), prescription pain medications, and marijuana. In many instances, a combination of drugs is used. The most common addictions in the United States are to alcohol and tobacco products.

    Inpatient Program

    Inpatient addiction treatment can take many forms, including inpatient detoxification, residential rehabilitation and partial hospitalization. Being an inpatient allows a person in early recovery to focus completely on getting well. Inpatient treatment is highly structured, with daily group and individual counseling sessions.

    Drug Detoxification

    Drug detoxification is the first step that needs to happen if someone is addicted to drugs. This is done with the use of medications that are able to help reduce the withdrawal symptoms. There are many different kinds of detox treatments, but they all work similarly in this regard. The medication available can help people who are withdrawing from drug addiction because it reduces some of the unpleasant effects.

    Sometimes, these effects are so bad that people are unable to get through the detox process. This is where many drug users have a relapse. Once they continue the withdrawal process without the drugs, they will be able to start their path to full recovery.

    Dual-Diagnosis

    Some of the most common co-occurring disorders are schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. Most rehab facilities in Pittsburgh provide patients with a dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis gives rehab the means to treat addiction while restoring mental and emotional health.

    Rehab is a combination of detoxing the body, rehabilitation, and recovery. There is therapy, aftercare, and support during the entire process. While substance abuse can take over a person’s life, it is something that can also be overcome with help from professionals at Pennsylvania rehabs.
