Community-Focused Recovery
Alpha House has served the Pittsburgh community for over 50 years, built on the belief that recovery is strengthened through connection. The program emphasizes a peer-driven approach where individuals support one another, creating accountability and belonging alongside professional treatment.
High-Intensity, Long-Term Care
Licensed as an ASAM Level 3.5 facility, Alpha House provides a structured residential program for people with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Treatment includes evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused counseling, motivational interviewing, and 12-step facilitation. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, are also available.
Skill-Building for Lasting Independence
Recovery at Alpha House extends beyond therapy sessions. Residents share in cooking, cleaning, and facility operations, building daily routines that prepare them for independent living. Educational and vocational support, life skills training, and access to a fitness center further help residents develop confidence and stability for life after treatment.
Support for Complex Needs
The program offers tailored support for individuals who face overlapping challenges such as trauma, criminal justice involvement, or HIV/AIDS. Specialized services and counseling ensure that residents’ social, emotional, and medical needs are addressed alongside substance use treatment. Discharge planning, naloxone education, and aftercare follow-up help sustain progress beyond residential care.
A Stable, Home-Like Setting
Located in the heart of Pittsburgh, Alpha House accommodates up to 30 residents in shared rooms designed to foster connection and accountability. The home-like environment, combined with structured programming and peer support, creates a safe foundation where individuals can focus on healing and long-term recovery.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
