About Pyramid Pittsburgh Outpatient

Pyramid Pittsburgh Outpatient offers LGBTQ-inclusive treatment for adults and teens with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. Seeking to make treatment affordable, Pyramid Healthcare accepts most private insurance and Medicaid, as well as medical assistance, county funding, and placement funding. Pyramid offers day treatment, meeting about 5-6 hours per day, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), meeting 3-4 hours per day, and traditional outpatient treatment at this location. Walk-in drug and alcohol assessments are also available Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m., helping place clients in the appropriate level of care.
Pyramid Pittsburgh Outpatient Treatment Center offers individual therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as peer support from others who have gone through addiction. Clients engage in group therapy, learning about their conditions, gaining relapse-prevention strategies, sharing their experience with others and learning from others in similar circumstances. Clients and their loved ones participate in family therapy with the aim of increasing understanding and communication. Collaborating with patients, psychiatrists prescribe and manage medications for co-occurring mental health conditions. Pyramid offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) implementing buprenorphine, Vivitrol, and Sublocade to help clients with opiate and alcohol cravings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pyramid Pittsburgh Outpatient accept Medicaid?

How do I start treatment at Pyramid Pittsburgh Outpatient?
Call the facility directly at (866) 541-8042 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
