Appalachian Tri-State Node

The Appalachian Tri-State Node (ATS) is a partnership between Western Psychiatric Institute & Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, West Virginia University School of Medicine, and five community treatment programs (CTPs) in Eastern Ohio, West Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania. This Node serves over 15,000 patients annually in urban and rural settings in all types of addiction and dual disorder treatment programs. Special interests and capabilities of the ATS include treating patients in rural settings, those with co-occurring psychiatric disorders, adolescents, women with children, criminal justice involved clients, and opiate addicts in need of maintenance treatment. ATS also has a strong interest in training professionals, developing treatment manuals, and developing recovery materials for clients and their families.
