Methadone Advocacy in Pittsburgh

In December 2025, UPMC closed the Narcotic Addiction Treatment Program (NATP), a methadone program in Wilkinsburg that had served hundreds of clients for decades. This closure came with only a few weeks’ notice for clients and staff.

The Pennsylvania Methadone Advocacy Group has mobilized a response, including:

  • An open letter to UPMC calling for it to re-open a methadone program

  • A one-page advocacy sheet

  • A commitment to continued community organizing around this issue
