Treatment Methods

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.
