Crossroads of Stanton Avenue

Crossroads of Stanton Avenue is an outpatient opioid treatment program in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They serve patients across the metro area from the Highland Park Historic District.

The center provides medication assisted treatment, clinical assessments and counseling, care coordination and peer support. Treatment typically runs 30 days or longer.

Do they treat Hepatitis C?

Yes, they integrate Hepatitis C treatment into their substance use disorder services. It acts as a vital part of long term recovery that reduces liver related complications.

For patients whose opioid use has involved injection, this means the infection most likely to accompany that history gets treated under the same roof and not referred out to a separate specialist.

The Pittsburgh location also leans toward long acting medication options like Sublocade and Brixadi injections, Vivitrol and prescription Buprenorphine.

Monthly injectables remove the daily dosing burden, so you won't have to worry about daily clinic visits.

What do patients say about provider continuity?

Reviews show that patients stay with the same providers for years. One patient valued that a doctor "has known me for years and he's familiar with our history," calling it "the beauty of having the same counselor."

If you're starting medication assisted treatment, dose adjustments, relapse prevention planning and care coordination all work well when the clinician already knows your history.

The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE, as well as VA CCN and most commercial insurance. Self pay and possible grant funding is available too.

Bus lines 71A, 75 and 87 stop outside the building and there's also street parking nearby.
