This place is TERRIBLE! Please read the previous reviews and believe me, they are true. They let patients watch slasher films for "recreation" . So it didn't surprise me that a patient killed his roommate at this hospital. They mismanage medications which CAUSE mental health issues and sleep depravation; and then use that as an excuse to hold the patient indefinitely. Should be a crime to take advantage of vulnerable individuals and then over charge the insurance companies for over medicating patients.... wait a minute...

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabs specialize in providing comprehensive care for clients who choose to remain in their homes and communities during treatment. Their services may include transitional support for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient programming. Ambulatory medical detox may be provided for clients at low risk for withdrawal complications. Many programs include evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients who are working professionals or caregivers. Addiction counseling and life skills training are common treatment modalities.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
The intensive outpatient program is offered for adults and is designed to minimize a patient’s absence from work and family, while still allowing him or her to receive the intensive, thorough treatment necessary in order to overcome the struggles he or she is facing. Patients in IOP receive effective treatment that is personalized to meet their needs and enhance their progress. This program is ideal for patients who are in need of more support than traditional one-to-one outpatient services alone, but may not require the level of care offered through partial hospitalization.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
Because the severity of withdrawal symptoms can fluctuate, constant monitoring under 24-hour clinical care in Pennsylvania is recommended for early recovery. As you undergo detox, medical staff will supervise your health and ensure severe symptoms do not develop or threaten your life. Professional counselors will also be available to treat mental and emotional health needs.

Treatments

Adults who are battling the distressing symptoms of mental health disorders while trapped in an insidious cycle of substance abuse can take part in our adult co-occurring disorders program to achieve the recovered lives they desire. This program is based on a medical model of treatment and arms patients with the skills needed to manage mental illness symptoms and abstain from using substances.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Clinical Services

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

i was a patient here, outpatient last year for about 3 weeks i think. MY SCHOOL (now old school i left), recommend this place to my parents, and was told i wasn t aloud back to school until i got help . Now i don t know if my parents read the reviews here but they were not good because i read them before i went, but to have a school the place thats supposed to make you feel safe recommend this and not even caring about the reviews and other peoples personal experiences here is insane to me. Not even 20 minutes to me being there on my FIRST day, there was a fight OVER FOOD. between two girls, most of the kids i was in outpatient with were in inpatient before this so i ve heard multiple stories of inpatient from the kids (not my personal experience) but they were saying A LOT of fights happen which doesn t surprise me seeing other peoples comments on here. I don t remember how everyone was divided in here i just remember them saying stuff about units, but they said a lot of girls were in relationships in a place where we re supposed to be getting help? They said some girls would be doing sexual stuff with each other in blind spots of the cameras. Some of the kids in there were actually very welcoming, i was obviously scared and shy when i first came in and i sat by myself on the side, there was 2 tables with kids sitting at each one and the 1st table told me to come sit with them. I was in blue group and i was pretty much cool with my group i still check up on 1 girl i talked to every second we were there, but this girls boyfriend was in my group and he was always talking to me and she would always make side comments and side remarks to me when i walked by and i would hear her talking about me to the 2nd table (which she sat at) her then boyfriend told me she wanted to fight me, i was obviously in there to get help with suicidal thoughts, as some of the kids in there were there for fighting in school and stuff. Which it did not help with my mental problems at all, i would say it really just gave me a break from the stress of school and gave me some time to look back on past stuff. The staff in there DEFINITELY had favorites and you could tell. One staff person made me reload the fridge with juice.. the whole entire fridge. I didn t know if that was normal for them to make patients do or not but it was a little weird to me. Overall i would say the ONLY good experience i got from this is connecting with some patients who were going through the same thing as me, which gave me a little comfort. But i would NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. From what i hear about inpatient too REALLY DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. I genuinely don t think this place is too help kids ESPECIALLY KIDS WITH SUICIDAL THOUGHTS OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT. I really think it s just for kids with actual behavioral issues, its literally based on that. I feel like by doing the stuff they do and screaming and yelling at you all the time is too try to scare you and to try to just immediately get you to stop what you re doing , which i think is a terrible way to help kids overcome their problems. THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO SEND YOUR KIDS TOO. Please, if you want your kid to ACTUALLY get help, this is NOT the place to send them too. AND PLEASE REAS THE REVIEWS BEFORE SENDING YOUR KIDS ANYWHEREEEE.

My daughter is currently here and has been for MONTHS - since June. This is the second time my daughter is at this facility. It is worse than you can imagine. They lie to our faces. They don't call us with incidents. We get different stories about incidents. Staff are extremely unprofessional and rude. There is screaming and swearing during every phone call. They sedate our daughter. I'm not sure how educated they are to try and send home a child who wants to kill herself and her family. This is round 2, and we are approaching discharge again. I could go on and on but I'll spare you, other than to say, having personal experiences due to our adopted children and also professional experiences with these types of places, this and PPI are the absolute worst I've ever come across. So sad.

Part 1: Be part of the solution, not feeding the problem.An in depth of perpective, evolving review that's still ongoing. I have NOT 1 BUT 2 daughters, 15 and 16 (14.5 months apart) that volunteered 201 for treatment from Wilkes-barre PA."Takes one to know one" mindset. I myself, been a victim of abuse across the board. I was in inpatient for 30+days first half of 9 grade; shuffled through the system and endured more than any person should. I had great foster parents that invested in me and inspired me to help kids of the like, got my bachelor's degree and fight the stigma of mental health. I rose to being a truancy officer to inspire and steer kids on right path in WA state. Here in PA, I became a Community Residential Rehabilitation Coordinator (CRRC) and ran 2 group homes; 8 residents. Understaffed with inherited program I took over from when i started as a Resident Assistant. I fought barriers with county, state and case management for the betterment of residents and mental health. Unfortunately they were closed but I had a lateral move and was a Behavior Health Specialist (BHS) facilitating groups for a 144 bed, 8 unit facility. So now I not only have experience what inpatients have, I have experience on the other side of the fence as staff; treatment. I gave light and hope that change is there if your wanting to truly change to preserve oneself. I was a military wife, seen the face of war and had an even more broader perspective how the systems fail.In my journey of life, I've learned the 2 steps forward; 1 step back when it comes to recovery and preservation. In that step back, stop reflect, analyze and file in your memory bank what caused it, what you've learned, what to differently to not revisit that step back. But always know your moving forward. Best analagy would be surely it feels like your in a go-cart track with barriers. Your going to to be bumped, bruised, shaken or even spun out at times. But you know you have one direction to go, a one way, and eventually you're going to finish the lap or race. It'll make you a better driver, learn to take the turns, rate your speed and eventually rise in ranks.My girls knew they needed help. I'm proud they admitted voluntarily. I, as a parent knew they'd been through hell while with their father but I, with my knowledge, the fallout of that was inevitable when I got them back. Wasn't even my fault why they left but the sabotage with old employer had lead to such. Crawling back to prove my innocence through courts, drug through the trenches trying to get them back but it, I knew it meant to have them testify in judges chambers that they wanted back with me. When they left, I told them I will fight even though they were lost to what just happened. My girls were told if you want to be home, I will fight no matter what the toll on my body and cost was and not to give up on me. I proved to my girls you can trust me and HOPE will not be crushed to those who believe. Now I knew damage was deep and has unveiled deeper trauma I wish not not elaborate on but other than Children and Youth are looking deeper and authories taking a harder look. But the question was how deep. That's a journey only our children can indulge if willing and have to have trained professionals that know how to cut into how deep the damage is.But we as parents need to be understanding, compassionate, be mindful with our words and I profess forward and myself adopted the logic of THINK twice, SPEAK once. I still do, more recently in the last 21 days and counting, do a lot of cognitive behavior therapy and coping skills, positive affirmations to persevere through the pain my girls are enduring to keep myself grounded and mind sharp to be a strong advocate and support for them; fighting the stigma of mental health.

Inpatient- 3 s. (Read on for outpatient review)Overall healthcare in the states is money focused and behavioral health facilities are notorious for receiving horrible reviews. I ve stayed in several hospitals and while I agree there are a lot of staff that have a massive lack of empathy & are in general unprofessional- you can always find a select few that will hopefully lift some weight off during your stay.Shawna, the OT who I think is one of the only staff left from my last stay there before the new hospital, made my stay bearable, radiating warmth & acceptance. Dr. Mehta (now gone) was the first psychiatrist to not look at me as simply a number on a chart.It s worth noting that my veganism was taken seriously & not made to seem like it was a burden to request a meal fix when sent the wrong thing.Outpatient- 5 s. Quiet & organized. The therapists are thoroughly trained. The DBT program was life-changing. I returned several times to that program with no sigh s of here she is again like inpatient. FYI for those it may effect, It is a teaching hospital. That means some therapists & psychiatrists come & within a year or two leave.Shoutout to therapist Sam who I believe is the absolute best fit for the lead therapist in the DBT program & I ve seen a few! I don t think anyone could match her mental fortitude with the wide variety of behaviors (of varying intensity) displayed daily in that group. Jessye, for being sweet & not giving up on trying to get to know me. Dr. Ali, whom could see through my defenses & still tried, no matter how stubbornly I d hold them up, even if it were for the whole appointment And despite my lack of faith & general distaste for those in that profession, is a likable dude. Last and certainly not least, Dr. Filmore. She had many opportunities to leave me high and dry, yet stayed. I haven t had any other MH professional in the 9 years of receiving treatment that I could trust enough to let my guard down so much so as I have with her. That says a lot.Many more people there have shown me kindness as well. From Caitlyn the OT, John the art therapist, to the techs who make everything run, the front desk crew & the custodial crew.Thanks everyone. You all work passionately hard & it doesn t go unnoticed.

I was a patient here for 10 days and just got home yesterday. I am so grateful that this was the hospital I got sent to. I was in unit 6 south. The staff there are so compassionate, and when I had a bad meltdown they were patient and loving towards me. Shameka was my favorite staff member. She really had my back in stressful situations. I also bonded with the other patients and i m so grateful for them. I cant speak for others, but from what I witnessed with my own eyes, this is a good place to go if you re in desperate need of mental help. I think a lot of these reviews fail to realize that this is still a mental hospital. There s troubled people in there so of course there will be some conflicts, but that s not the staffs fault. I felt the need to leave a positive review because before I came here the reviews scared the hell out of me. My experience was the complete opposite of what these people are saying. Thank you Belmont for everything you ve done for me!
