About Progressive Medical Specialists Pittsburgh
Progressive Medical Specialists provides substance addiction services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their team focuses on inclusive, compassionate. They welcome adults 18 and older needing recovery assistance.
You’ll have easy access to treatment no matter how you commute. They provide on site parking and are near public transit. They’re also close to Dormont Park in the South Hills area. You can enjoy green spaces, walking areas and calm settings that may promote recovery.
Flexible Treatment for Your Schedule
One of the reasons some people avoid seeking recovery is that they can’t find the time. Having the time to balance treatment with family, work or school obligations can be a daunting process. I like that they provide outpatient treatment, allowing you to live at home and continue with your typical duties while recovering. You can also access appointments on the day of consultation for more convenience.
Incorporating Medications for Symptoms
One beneficial feature I noticed was that they include medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce drug cravings for guests struggling with alcohol or opioid addiction. MAT helps with stabilization and comfort so you can relax and remain comfortable while focusing on healing. They also welcome pregnant women who need recovery care and provide safe treatment methods throughout pregnancy.
Connecting You To Essential Resources
While medications help relieve withdrawal symptoms, they won’t address the root causes of substance use. I think it’s beneficial that they include counseling sessions that help you develop healthy coping skills, recognize substance use triggers and learn relapse prevention strategies for the future.
They also offer addiction education and link you to vital recovery resources to fuel your journey. You can connect with peers on similar paths and stay on track with recovery in support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. They can also refer you to community resources to improve other essential aspects, like housing and employment.
