About St. Clair Hospital – Pittsburgh
The Psychiatry and Mental Health Services Department at Saint Clair Hospital provides psychiatric treatment for adults in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They offer inpatient or outpatient programs as well as education and support services for the community. They focus on mental health disorders and can offer referrals to specialized care, such as addiction rehab. You’re welcome to pay through self payment, private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. They also offer financial assistance.
Their inpatient program has 26 beds and supports people in crisis who need immediate help. I like that as soon as you’re admitted into the program, they start working on your aftercare plan to make sure you have a strong support system in place once you leave their facility. They encourage your friends and family members to help develop your treatment plan because they’re familiar with your needs and condition. While you stay here, you’ll participate in group therapy sessions to work through your condition and understand more about it. If you need medication to help control your symptoms, your team can help you manage those.
If you need recovery support but aren’t experiencing a crisis, you can enter one of their outpatient programs. I thought it was neat that the providers in this program focus on important life skills during group therapy sessions. During these discussions, you’ll learn how to solve problems effectively, become more assertive, and live in harmony with others. They’ll also show you healthy ways to manage stress and what you can do to prevent a relapse.
One former client says they were amazed to find a facility that offers this kind of support so close to home. They say the team of doctors and nurses saved their life and called the program a hidden gem.
