If you or a loved one is struggling with opioid use disorder, you don’t have to face it alone. The AIMS program at JADE Wellness offers compassionate, immediate access to Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) like Buprenorphine (Suboxone), both in-person and through telehealth. Our goal is to remove barriers to care, providing same-day or next-day treatment options alongside ongoing support from Certified Recovery Specialists. We’re here to walk this journey with you, every step of the way.

This month, we are thrilled to welcome Abbey and her therapy dog, Daphne, to the JADE team. After completing an internship with us, Abbey officially joins JADE full-time bringing with her Daphne, a certified therapy dog, who has already become a meaningful part of the therapeutic process.

Daphne has a natural ability to help clients feel at ease and emotionally supported. Her steady, gentle companionship fosters grounding, safety, and connection-often creating a sense of comfort that allows clients to open up and explore difficult emotions. Dogs offer acceptance without judgment, and Daphne brings that unconditional warmth into the therapeutic space in ways words alone sometimes cannot.

When speaking about Daphne’s role in session, Abbey shared:

“As a therapist, I strive to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and grounded in unconditional positive regard. Daphne naturally embodies these values. Her calm, gentle presence helps clients feel at ease, emotionally supported, and open to exploring difficult topics. She fosters safety, grounding, and connection, reminding both myself and my clients that healing can happen in the warmth of presence and trust. Her companionship is truly a meaningful extension of the care we provide in session I feel lucky to share a love and connection with this magnificent creature, and I’m so thrilled to be sharing her amazing spirit with everyone at JADE.”

We at JADE echo Abbey’s sentiments and are grateful to have both Abbey and Daphne join our team full-time. And while Daphne plays an important role in session, we can’t deny the joy she brings outside of it, too, because seeing a friendly pup padding through the halls of our South Side office is always a welcome reminder that healing can include a little warmth, comfort, and wagging tail.

The AIMS Mobile Van is rolling out to expand access to high-quality addiction treatment across Pittsburgh and surrounding areas — especially for people who don’t have local providers or can’t easily get to care.

Each stop offers telehealth visits with an AIMS physician, supported onsite by a Certified Recovery Specialist. Along with MOUD treatment, we help connect individuals to housing, food, employment, transportation, and mental health resources.

Allegheny & Westmoreland Medicaid accepted.

After the first visit, people can continue care through our secure virtual platform via the JADE app or computer — no need to wait for the van. Meeting people where they are. Moving recovery forward.

Support Through the Season: Our Virtual Mental Health IOP Is Here

If you or someone you support is seeking structure, connection, and evidence-based care during this season, Bloom Mental Health’s all-virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is here to help.

Offered entirely online and meeting three times weekly (Mon/Wed/Thurs, 9:30 AM–12:30 PM), our 12-week IOP provides a supportive group environment designed to strengthen coping skills, reduce distress, and build emotional resilience through the holidays and beyond.

🌟 Why an IOP During the Holidays?

This season often brings up:
• Heightened anxiety or depression
• Increased pressure to “hold it all together”
• Grief, loneliness, or complex family interactions
• Disrupted routines that make coping harder

Bloom Mental Health, a product of JADE Wellness Center and licensed by OMHSAS, utilizes the Unified Protocol (UP), a proven, transdiagnostic treatment model focused on managing intense emotions and developing lifelong skills.

Participants learn how to:
✔ Manage emotions effectively
✔ Reduce distress and avoidance
✔ Strengthen coping strategies
✔ Build resilience and balance in daily life

Group Focus Areas
🌿 Emotion regulation & distress tolerance
🧘 Mindfulness & present-moment awareness
🤝 Building social support
🛡 Trauma-informed stress coping
💙 Self-compassion & identity development
