Chartiers’ primary focus is the integration of physical health and mental health wellness to enhance the quality of life for all people with behavioral or intellectual/ and developmental disabilities. To reflect the integration of health and wellness, Chartiers changed the name of the service line from Behavioral Health Services to the Recovery Treatment Service Line. The program provides a full range of recovery oriented treatment and services for individuals and
families.
Outpatient Services
Outpatient services are available for adults, children and adolescents with short term and long term behavioral health needs. Our care team, comprised of therapists, psychiatrists and support staff, will work with you to identify your treatment goals and to develop your unique treatment plan. The outpatient component provides psychiatric evaluation, medication monitoring, individual, group and family therapy. Your treatment plan will provide a comprehensive approach to manage both acute symptoms and develop strategies for long term wellness. For many individuals, you can expect to meet with your therapist every 2 to 4 weeks, and your psychiatrist (if needed) every one to two months. Service locations are available in Bridgeville and McKees Rocks. School based outpatient services are available in the Keystone Oaks School District. To learn more or schedule an appointment, please call the Intake Specialist at (412) 221-3302 ext. 123.

Tele-Health Services
At the onset of the covid pandemic, Chartiers Center made changes to the delivery of service and began providing tele-health therapy. Tele-health, sometimes called telemedicine, is the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to provide care when you and the doctor are not in the same place at the same time. If you have a phone or a device with internet access, you already have everything you need to get medical care or services through tele-health — you may be able to:
- Talk to your doctor live over the phone or video chat.
- Send and receive messages from your doctor using chat messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange.
- Use remote patient monitoring so your doctor can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather ECG or other vitals to help your doctor stay informed on your progress. *
- If you have questions on tele-health and how it may serve you, please call 412 221-3302 and ask for the Intake Specialist.
- Outpatient Team – if you are receiving tele-health services, we invite you to visit this link to learn more about the Outpatient team, the doctor and your therapist. Meet the Outpatient Team.

The Program provides an opportunity for consumers with a mental health diagnosis to focus on improving social skills and acquiring tools for their recovery. Dan, a Certified Peer Specialist joined the staff, and as someone who has experienced his own struggles, his input is beneficial to the consumers as he has a deep and personal understanding of the struggles of behavioral health consumers.
