Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Heart icon Treatment

Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I m on my way home from my August 1-2 day surgery & stay at Montefiore. The Doctors & Nurses ALL did their jobs SO well with kindness, respect and patience. They were all so helpful and thorough and made sure to ask if I needed anything every time. For having to do something that you wish you didn t have to, they helped us to get through it so much better! THANK YOU!

Absolutely worse hospital and nursing system ever. My mother was life flighted to presby icu who were Absolutely wonderful but as soon as they got her stable enough to leave the icu and come to this hell hole the nurse neglected her horribly to the point she passed away. I wouldn't take a broke bike to this place 10th floor east wing should be completely restarted they have zero empathy or regrets for what they did. I advise anyone who loves their family to never let them be admitted here.

I am writing this review late but has pryed on my mind for a lot of years. This hospital so horrible I would not take my dog there. We left Henry Ford Hospital for UPMC Montefiore because it was rate good for my dad's cancer BILE DUCT CANCER instead of telling him that his cancer had progressed and spread to his liver or even give chemo/radiation. They resected his liver at cost of over $100,000 for money. The nurses were rude and doctors especially Dr. James Marsh tells my dad when my mom was staying there your going to die . What a sick evil physicians and your there to preserve life. Obviously not the line of patient care he should not even practice medicine. A medical professional telling mom he was going to die. Who needs this when we are trying to save my dad. We brought him there for better care and received unprofessional, incentive and lack of empathy while a patient at UPMC Montefore. All I can say is that the hospital from all the current reviews that are 3 or less has not change since my father's visit back in 2009

Transplant patient here; I m in need of a biopsy which is done on their short stay unit 7 west, in years prior a biopsy was easy to schedule and I was able to get in within two days. I let my team know of 4 separate days I had availability none of which they could accommodate. When I asked why they were unable to schedule me when in the past (I ve had more than 4 biopsies here) there was no issue getting in for a biopsy it was confirmed that they are short staffed and only able to do one biopsy per day (in the past I have seen 4 or more people per day getting biopsies with me). I asked what the nurse patient ratio would be because I have concerns about the care I will receive but that question was not answered. I can only assume that because UPMC is the lowest paying healthcare system in Pittsburgh that nurses are refusing to accept these pitiful wages and now the patients are suffering. I ll seriously be considering transferring my transplant care to AGH.

Words cannot express the quality of service at UPMC Montefiore. My mother was hospitalized after surgery on 4-1-24. I was at the hospital on 4-4-24 on the 10th floor room N1063. Upon arrival we were greeted by Susie at the front desk, she was pleasant and even offered us coffee. When we entered the room, Tracey (Nursing Student) was changing out her bed. Her level of attentiveness and empathy was top notch . I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service. Lucy was also amazing and very attentive. Coming from California, I would have to say UPMC is the best with regard to customer service. I highly recommend UPMC Montefiore for any type of service , truly amazing.
