About Stepping Stones Unit at

Located on the campus of Meadville Medical Center in Meadville, Pennsylvania, the Stepping Stones Unit provides hospital-based substance use disorder treatment for adults and young adults across Crawford County and northwestern Pennsylvania. Operating from 1034 Grove Street, the unit benefits from the clinical infrastructure of a full-service community hospital while delivering specialized addiction care tailored to individual recovery goals.

The program offers a continuum of care that includes medical detoxification for individuals requiring monitored withdrawal management, residential rehabilitation for those needing structured inpatient stabilization, and outpatient services for ongoing recovery support. Treatment incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment, with co-occurring mental health conditions addressed alongside substance use through an integrated dual-diagnosis approach.

Meadville Medical Center’s hospital setting allows the unit to coordinate medical care across departments, which can be particularly valuable for clients managing chronic health conditions in addition to substance use.
