About Holy Family Institute/Shores Program
Holy Family Institute's Shores Program provides specialized outpatient addiction treatment for adolescents and families in Pittsburgh. Since 1900, this recovery center focuses on young people struggling with substance use disorders in Western Pennsylvania.
Holy Family Institute's Shores Program operates as a specialized outpatient clinic serving adolescents and families affected by substance use disorders in Pittsburgh's Allegheny County. Located on Ohio River Boulevard, this recovery center has been part of the Pittsburgh community since 1900, bringing over a century of experience to addiction treatment for young people and their families.
The Shores Program delivers outpatient treatment specifically designed for adolescent addiction recovery. This outpatient program allows young people to maintain their daily routines while receiving structured substance abuse treatment during weekday hours. The recovery center operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, providing consistent scheduling that works with school and family obligations throughout Western Pennsylvania.
The program takes a family-centered approach to adolescent addiction treatment, recognizing that successful recovery involves the entire family system. Rather than treating substance use disorders in isolation, the Shores Program integrates family support into the recovery process, helping parents and siblings understand addiction while building stronger family dynamics that support long-term sobriety.
Families throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania choose the Shores Program because it specializes exclusively in adolescent populations rather than mixing teens with adult patients. This focus on young people creates a recovery community where adolescents connect with peers facing similar challenges. The program's century-long presence in Pittsburgh demonstrates institutional stability that families value when selecting a long-term recovery partner for their teenager's substance abuse treatment.
Adolescent-Focused Outpatient Treatment
The Shores Program at Holy Family Institute delivers outpatient addiction treatment designed specifically for adolescents struggling with substance use disorders. Unlike residential treatment facilities, this outpatient program allows teenagers to remain at home while receiving structured recovery support during weekday hours.
Operating Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, the program provides consistent scheduling that accommodates school attendance and family routines. This approach helps young people maintain important connections in their home community while building recovery skills and peer support networks with other adolescents in similar situations.
Family-Centered Recovery Approach
The Shores Program recognizes that adolescent addiction affects entire family systems, not just individual teenagers. The recovery center integrates family members into the treatment process, helping parents and siblings understand substance use disorders while developing communication skills and boundaries that support long-term recovery.
This family-centered model creates stronger support systems at home, which research shows improves outcomes for young people in recovery. Families learn to navigate the challenges of adolescent addiction together, building resilience and understanding that extends well beyond initial treatment.
