UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital Narcotic Addiction Treatment Prog

POWER Restore occupies a distinct role in Pittsburgh's addiction treatment landscape: a program built specifically for women, offering both medical detox and residential treatment within a single integrated setting. Rather than navigating separate facilities at different stages of early recovery, women at POWER Restore move through detox and into residential rehab supported by the same clinical, medical, and recovery support team throughout.

Located on the POWER Campus at 225 Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh, POWER Restore is part of the PA Organization for Women in Early Recovery — a network that includes screening and assessment services, residential programming through POWER House, and continuing recovery support through POWER New Day. That organizational context means residents at POWER Restore are entering a recovery community, not just a standalone treatment episode.

Many women entering substance use treatment are dealing with more than one challenge at once. POWER Restore is designed to address co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, as well as trauma and PTSD — conditions that frequently underlie or complicate substance use disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed therapeutic method used in the program, providing a structured, skills-based framework for understanding and changing the thought patterns connected to substance use and emotional distress.

This clinical scope matters for long-term recovery outcomes. Treating trauma and mental health conditions alongside the substance use disorder itself — rather than in sequence — means women leave the residential program with more than sobriety. The goal is to address the full picture of what brought someone into treatment and what they will need to sustain recovery after discharge.

POWER Restore serves women, including pregnant women and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. These are populations with distinct treatment needs that general mixed-gender or general-population programs may not be equipped to fully address. By focusing exclusively on women and building in access for those with hearing disabilities, POWER Restore removes barriers that often prevent people from entering or completing treatment.

The program accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay, and offers a sliding scale fee option for those who qualify. Administrative hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Prospective clients or family members can reach the program by phone at (412) 243-8755 or by email at [email protected]. For families supporting a woman in early recovery in the Pittsburgh, PA area, POWER Restore's combination of medical detox, residential treatment, and specialized populations focus makes it a program worth a direct conversation.

One of the practical advantages of choosing a program connected to a larger recovery organization is the continuity it offers beyond the residential stay. POWER Restore sits within the PA Organization for Women in Early Recovery ecosystem, which includes multiple program components serving women at different stages — from initial screening through residential care and into ongoing support. For women thinking about what recovery looks like after treatment, not just during it, that organizational structure is meaningful context.

Substance use treatment that accounts for what comes next — the return to community, the maintenance of recovery, the management of co-occurring mental health — is treatment that takes the long view. POWER Restore's positioning within the POWER network reflects that broader orientation toward sustained recovery, not just short-term stabilization.
