About POWER House

POWER House is a treatment center focused on gender-responsive, trauma-informed care for women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. It offers a full continuum of care that supports women’s overall wellness, including mental and physical health. The center provides personalized treatment designed to help women build a strong foundation for sustained recovery.
Their approach includes a variety of therapies such as individual and group counseling, trauma-specific groups, meditation, yoga, and twelve-step or alternative self-help meetings. Psychiatric assessments and medication management are available through an on-site Medical Director, a psychiatrist, and through partnership with licensed primary health providers at Squirrel Hill Health Center. This comprehensive care helps women address trauma, build life skills, and strengthen family relationships, promoting long-term healing and sobriety.
At POWER House, women reside in one of 26 private bedrooms within a secure, 24-hour staffed environment designed to promote healing and community. Each day blends therapy, physical activity, expressive arts, and social engagement to support recovery. Family participation is encouraged through visits and counseling, while the center also offers resources for education, employment, and housing to help women successfully reintegrate into their communities.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like POWER House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

POWER House offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. POWER House works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
