Our Story: A 50+ Year Legacy of Care in Pittsburgh
Tadiso isn’t just a clinic; we are a part of the community. Our story began in August 1968, when a group of dedicated Black citizens in Manchester saw a need and stepped up to help their neighbors. Starting as a volunteer-led effort in a simple storefront, we’ve grown into one of the oldest and most respected treatment programs in the country.
What "Tadiso" Means to Us
Our name comes from the Ethiopian word for “renewal of life: mind, body, and spirit.” That’s exactly what we aim to provide for every person who walks through our doors. Whether it’s through medication like Methadone, Suboxone, or Injectables, or through our counseling and support services, our goal is to help you build a lifestyle that feels healthy, stable, and uniquely yours.
Why Choose Us?
We are pioneers in the field of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), and we’ve spent over 50 years perfecting our approach. We combine decades of experience with a deep commitment to our Allegheny County roots. When you come to Tadiso, you aren’t just a patient—you’re part of a legacy of recovery that spans generations.
