Faith-Based Recovery in Pittsburgh — Healing for Body, Mind & Spirit
Trauma-informed outpatient care in Irwin, PA — with optional Christian integration for those who want it. Evidence-based. Compassionate. Always confidential.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
Whole-Person Healing — Clinical Excellence with Spiritual Depth
Recovery is rarely just about stopping a substance. It's about rediscovering who you are, rebuilding what was broken, and finding a reason to keep going. For many people in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, that "reason" is deeply tied to faith — to a belief that something greater is at work, even in the hardest seasons.
At Grace Recovery Services, we believe in treating the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. That means you won't find a one-size-fits-all program here. Our care is built around you: your story, your struggles, your goals, and what gives your life meaning.
An important note: Faith integration at Grace Recovery Services is always optional — and always available. If Christian principles, prayer, or Scripture bring you strength, we welcome that fully into your care. If that's not where you are right now, our clinical treatment stands completely on its own. You will never be pressured. You will always be respected.
Research consistently shows that addressing spiritual wellbeing alongside clinical treatment improves long-term recovery outcomes — especially for those battling addiction and trauma together. For many individuals in our community, faith isn't separate from healing. It's the foundation of it.
Our team combines the best of evidence-based clinical practice — including ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed modalities — with the warmth of a community that understands what it means to feel lost and want to find your way home. Whether you're coming to us from Irwin, Greensburg, North Huntingdon, Monroeville, or anywhere in the Pittsburgh metro, you belong here.
Recovery is possible. It starts with a single step — and we'll be with you for every one that follows.
How We Combine Evidence-Based Care with Optional Christian Principles
Our clinical team is trained in the most effective, research-backed therapies for addiction and trauma — and for those who seek it, we integrate those methods with the truths and practices of Christian faith. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy — helping you live by your values, not your cravings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy — building emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Trauma-informed treatment designed for co-occurring PTSD and substance use.
Every aspect of our program is designed with trauma awareness at its core.

What Faith-Based Recovery Looks Like Day-to-Day
Recovery isn't just a concept here — it's a structured, supported process. Here's what participation in our programs actually looks like, and where faith integration shows up naturally along the way.

Individual counseling with a licensed therapist
Trauma processing through Seeking Safety & ACT
Case management and care coordination
Outpatient (OP)
Flexible scheduling • Maintenance & step-down careFor clients who have completed IOP or whose needs are best met with less frequency — OP keeps you connected, accountable, and growing.
Individual and group therapy sessions
Relapse prevention planning and skill reinforcement
Connection to community resources & peer support
Continued trauma-informed care
Bible Verses for Strength in Recovery
For those who draw strength from Scripture, these verses speak directly to the journey of healing, freedom, and hope.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28Recovery begins with surrender — not defeat, but the courage to stop carrying it alone. This is the invitation.
"For I know the plans I have for you — plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11Addiction tells you there's no future. This verse says otherwise. Your story is not finished.
"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Romans 12:2Recovery is a process of rewiring — thought by thought, day by day. Neuroscience and Scripture agree on this one.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9Recovery is hard work. Some days are harder than others. This verse is for the days when giving up feels easier than going on.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3Trauma leaves real wounds. Healing is real too — and available to you, no matter how deep the hurt has gone.
"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:13Not strength to do everything — but strength to do the next right thing. That's all recovery ever asks of you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. Our faith integration is always optional — and our clinical program is fully effective entirely on its own. We serve people from all backgrounds and belief systems. What matters to us is that you get the care you need in a space where you feel respected and safe.
If faith is not part of your journey, you will never feel pressured, excluded, or uncomfortable. Our team is trained to honor each person's individual beliefs and non-beliefs with equal care.
We view science and faith as complementary, not competing. Our clinical foundation rests on evidence-based therapies — ACT, DBT, Seeking Safety, and trauma-informed care — all of which are research-supported and clinically proven.
For clients who want it, we weave in Christian principles at natural points: a Scripture passage that reinforces a clinical concept, an optional prayer at the start or close of a session, or a biblically grounded perspective on identity and shame. Faith doesn't replace the clinical work — it deepens it for those who find meaning there.
In terms of clinical rigor, the foundation is the same: evidence-based therapies, licensed clinicians, individualized treatment planning, and co-occurring disorder care. The difference is in the option to include meaning-making through faith.
Research suggests that for individuals where spirituality is central to their identity, integrating that dimension into treatment significantly improves engagement and long-term outcomes. We take that seriously — and we take it gently, never forcefully.
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) provides a high level of clinical support — multiple sessions per week — without requiring you to leave your home, job, or family. It's designed for people who need more than once-a-week therapy but don't require residential or inpatient care.
IOP may be right for you if you're stepping down from a higher level of care, if you've relapsed and need to re-engage with structure, or if your substance use and mental health needs require intensive focus. Contact us for a free exploratory call — we'll help you figure out which level of care fits your life.
Yes — and we believe this is essential. The research is clear: untreated trauma is one of the strongest drivers of continued substance use. Programs that only address the substance without addressing the underlying trauma often see high relapse rates.
Our team uses trauma-informed care principles throughout everything we do, and we offer specific trauma-focused treatment including Seeking Safety — an evidence-based curriculum designed for co-occurring trauma and substance use. You don't have to choose which part of your pain to address first.
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans. We also offer a sliding scale fee for those without insurance or with limited coverage. We believe financial barriers should never be the reason someone doesn't get help.
