The facilities look very nice, and the staff are alright, but my experience here was less than stellar. I only realized this after treatment. The way they introduce you to recovery is not what somebody needs to be successful. Once the program is completed, you get out into t ...
About Bradford Recovery Center
Bradford Recovery Center offers services for adults who are dealing with addiction and some co-occurring mental illnesses in Millerton, Pennsylvania. They offer medical detox, residential treatment and medication assisted treatment. They also provide treatment for US military veterans.
The first step is a comprehensive, free assessment. This will help staff figure out what treatment is right for you. They’ll use the assessment to create a treatment plan that pulls from a large list of activities and therapies that may help.
I like that Bradford Recovery Center focuses on custom packages as opposed to a one size fits all approach. Your treatment plan will likely be updated as you progress on your recovery journey. You’ll always be actively involved in managing your treatment plan and goals. You might be involved in family or group therapy, laughter groups, sports or recreational therapy and other groups. Their residential treatment program usually lasts 28 days.
Bradford Recovery Center accepts many insurance plans including Aetna, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Beacon, Community Care Behavioral Health, Fidelis Care, Magellan, and PerformCare. If your provider isn’t listed here, you can call Bradford to discuss your options.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.
Inpatient
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. Their residential inpatient drug rehab program was designed to offer acute, coordinated addiction treatment services to any individual or family struggling with addiction in Pennsylvania. By treating each patient as a complete individual – focusing on all of the unique challenges arising out of alcoholism and drug addiction – the facility is able to provide a comprehensive, integrated treatment regimen based on needs-driven addiction treatment plans.
Intensive Outpatient
Clients engaged in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) live and work in their home community while receiving frequent, high-level care. These programs offer personalized care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, but high-risk clients and those in early recovery may receive up to 20 hours of care weekly. IOP services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as massage.
Aftercare
Clients receiving services from a rehab aftercare program are usually stable and in the maintenance phase of recovery, having completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment. Rehab aftercare services can vary widely based on clients' individual and evolving needs, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, 12 step program induction, and medical, mental health, and social service referrals. Individual care plans are typically developed by the client in partnership with their case manager and care team.
12-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).
Sober Living Homes
Residents of a sober living home in Pennsylvania pay rent and contribute to household maintenance. For their contributions, individuals get the opportunity to live in a substance-free environment and receive support from others in recovery while all residents practice sober-living skills. Sober living expenses are not covered by insurance since they are not treatment services. However, grants and scholarships are often available to help individuals afford rent for men's or women's sober living.
Intervention Services
Intervention services bring extensive experience to the planning and conducting of drug interventions in Pennsylvania. These experts can facilitate interventions in a sensitive manner that encourages positive outcomes. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about addiction and the consequences of their substance use and encourage them to get the treatment they need. Interventions can be effective with all types of drugs and alcohol addiction.
Partial Hospitalization Program
With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you can participate in intensive rehabilitation treatment with the ability to return home at the end of the day. For a weekly minimum of 20 hours, a partial hospitalization program can take place up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. During PHP treatment, you can receive relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions.
24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. Bradford Recovery Center offers a caring and compassionate confidential drug & alcohol detox environment for patients suffering from drug addiction and alcoholism. For some people, the most challenging part about starting the recovery process is getting through the discomfort of withdrawal. Bradford Recovery Center’s Pennsylvania drug rehab centers specialize in coordinated care for individuals suffering from addiction. The facility makes every effort to ensure the detox process as pain free and as comfortable as possible.

Treatment
Dual Diagnosis
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person’s mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation. If addiction is not the primary disorder that a person needs help with; Bradford Recovery Center will often refer people with primary mental health needs to providers who specialize in treating their particular needs. In addition, some co-occurring mental health diagnoses may be beyond the scope of what the staff in Pennsylvania drug rehab centers are trained to treat. In situations like these, the facility will work to find the most suitable level of care for an individual by referring them to another provider in their network.
Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
As an integral part of their approach to addiction and mental health treatment, Bradford Recovery Center often employs CBT Counseling to work with clients in identifying the self-defeating thoughts and behaviors that drive the progression of addictive disorders. People who work with a CBT therapist can expect them to be “problem-focused” and “goal-directed” in the process of identifying and addressing the symptoms of addictive and mental health disorders. Patients can also expect “homework” – or out-of-session practice – as CBT is an “active intervention.” BRC employs CBT as an evidence-based treatment modality for all their services and levels of care, because it’s been proven to work with addictive disorders by examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a mode of psychotherapy rooted in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), yet with a number of modifications. The DBT treatment style was originally developed to work with individuals suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder(s)(BPD). Much like CBT, DBT is an evidence-based treatment modality, that is, an approach that is studied and researched to demonstrate its efficacy in given therapeutic situations and relationships. It is shown to be more effective than other treatment modalities, or no interventions at all.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Motivational Interviewing
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.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Couples Therapy
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Family Therapy
At Bradford Recovery Center, they embrace the clinical philosophy that family involvement with the chemically dependent – whether or not they have a co-occurring diagnosis – is without parallel in securing positive outcomes for patients and the people who love them. They provide workshops, process groups and Family Systems Therapy at their Pennsylvania drug rehab centers. The program includes not only group work with the family system but individual sessions with their Family therapist, and residential counselors.
Creative Arts Therapy
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.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
