Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs prioritize the recovery journey as a life-long process based on personal spiritual growth and ongoing peer support. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are held multiple times each day in most communities, is expected. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring by a self-selected peer sponsor. The 12 steps are designed to encourage participants' self-compassion, awareness, acceptance, and accountability. Dedicated programs for specialized groups, including seniors, teens, and families, are common.

Our Policy: Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing in Pennsylvania gives you the opportunity to share your perspective and explore your ideas and motivation for change. Your therapist will walk you through the four steps of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning to empower you to make any desired changes in your life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

It is important to process the impact that traumatic experiences have had on your life. During trauma therapy, you and an experienced therapist confront these experiences and the emotional impact it is had. This helps to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety and improve your overall mental health and well being.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Incorporating recreational therapy into drug and alcohol addiction programs in Pennsylvania helps you rebuild your life and maintain sobriety by discovering new interests and developing healthy coping mechanisms. Recreational activities can include painting, team sports, and hiking to promote physical and mental health.

This rehab is truly like no other. I came in here completely broken. I overdosed before coming into Brookdale and got caught up within the legal system. This place CARES. Never in my life have I seen a CEO in rehabs, psych wards, eating disorder residentials- in the building walking around and coming up to clients connecting with us. Amy Durham is a wonderful woman and I cannot thank her and the experience I had here enough. Amy is truly making positive impact on lives.

Let me start by saying this place was the worst place for me PERSONALLY for my recovery. I don t speak for other people in there who were open and down with the program. Note: not all staff were that bad.I am an alcoholic my alcoholism got worse soon after leaving this place(I lasted roughly 1 month). I have now have 123 days sober after attending Legacy Healing center. I suffered some pretty bad ptsd from this place; when I got home I couldn t deal with loud noises and sleep interruptions for a few months without having a panic attack.I m not a delusional or paranoid person by any means, but I m 99% sure part of this program was meant to make me feel crazier and more hopeless than I already was in order to pull more money. They took me off of my lexapro in the middle of my alcohol withdrawals for 3.5 days. I looked into it and asked my doctors and no one has a reason why they did this. Symptoms of suddenly stopping lexapro are as follows: severe anxiety and depression, mood swings, insomnia, irritability, nausea. So while I m dealing with alcohol withdrawal I was dealing with all of that on top of it. I was drunk when I came in, but I remember telling them that it was one of my daily medications and I certainly remember telling them time after time the first few days of being there.I also made it crystal clear that I had 0 intention of staying past a standard 5 day detox however they convinced my parents to pay for days extra without my consent. To this day I have no idea how they convinced my parents to make me stay extra days without them even speaking to me. By the 5th day I had maybe gotten 6-8 hours of sleep total. The insomnia and extreme nausea I had from being taken off my lexapro and withdrawing from alcohol was unbearable. On top of that the wellness checks ranged from quiet entry s to loud knocks with a flashlight pointed in my eyes. Sleep was impossible.They held me there without letting me make any calls for the first 6 days and when I said on the 5th day I wanted to leave they pretty much said no, and my only option was to be dropped off at a hospital with a dead phone and $0. I still was not allowed to make contact with the outside world to arrange to be picked up.One of the doctors also told me he had a gun and then turned it into a story about how I was playing Russian roulette with my life, but it felt like a backhanded comment to let me know he knows how upset I was with them and to not come after him after this was over? I don t know. It seemed extremely inappropriate at the time.People that ran out of money that actually wanted to stay and receive further treatment were kicked out and the people with money were steered into staying as long as legally possible. A few of my peers were having a similar experience as me and a few of them were seemingly happy to be there.My counselor and the staff clearly didn t like me. I was restless and relentlessly asking for pepto bismol or going on long walks away from loud noises and sensory disturbing areas. I was however extremely polite the whole time. They clearly didn t like me though because I had no interest in staying and letting them leech more money off of my family.When I did finally leave, the entire staff put their heads down and I didn t get a single goodbye. Once the money incentive was gone they had no interest in being polite or serving me despite having dished out over $15,000. I got out by managing to convince someone who didn t know my intention to leave to give me a phone call. Yes I had to be deceitful to get a call. During my phone call to my family I was truly afraid the staff would hang up the phone once they realized my intent. I did get my family to agree to pick me up the following day. I then had to beg and plead to have some charge on my phone before leaving. I was completely denied by all staff except one who clearly felt bad for me and knew that I was in a tough position. I was driven by someone to a hospital 3 hours before my scheduled pick up time. Quite literally felt like trash left on the side of the road.

I want to start by saying how sick I was prior to entering Brookdale. I was an alcoholic with a severe opioid addiction so I knew I needed a program that had expert medical care as well as the counseling I would need to help me recover. I had a severe detox and the medical care and nursing staff is superb and I am basing that off of being used to excellent medical care in nyc hospitals like Columbia medical center. Dr C and the rest of the staff were incredible and treat you with compassion and understanding which I can t stress its importance for me. The counselors and programming at Brookdale are incredible everything is geared toward recovery and teaching you the skills required to being a sober human being. All of this is provided on a campus you would be happy to go to on a vacation to. I couldn t ask for nicer accommodations including the food, beautiful cabins we slept in and to amenities like gym and indoor and outdoor pools. Brookdale saved my life and I have now been sober since and that is something before Brookdale I didn t think was possible.

Knowing where to begin is hard, but this place is terrible. Don t go here.The kitchen staff and nursing staff are fantastic; however, the counsellors and tech/case managers were terrible. Worst of all is the management. It is a bait and switch; don t believe the website or anything they tell you before you arrive.They will monitor everything you do so you can t complain to anyone in the outside world. I m sure they will delete this review; it s what they do, but I have to try.I m still recovering from the trauma I experienced going here, and I will write more soon.If you try and leave early, they will refuse to let you be picked up from the facility and drop you off at a bus stop on the side of the highway

I had covid and a concussion which caused me to develop a temprary seizure disorder. But the facility itself was for built as a drug and alcohol recovery/rehabilitation center. I thought it was a treatment for Epilepsy or those suffering with long covid. Nowhere was I informed that this was for those of us struggling with drinking or addiction. I was held hostage there for three and a half weeks (against my will). before I was finally released; the powers that be forced me to sign up for an IOP (which is an aftercare program that patients get passed along to them as a secondary insurance bilker. They pretend to care about you until your insurance runs out. Then they abandon you. I went along with the protocol because I was terrified and just wanted to escape. In contrast to this, and if you dont mind being talked down to like a five year old, while you are trying to kick an addiction, then this might be a decent option for you. If you have that golden ticket of endless insurance, then it s not so bad.However, do not be fooled. There are no rescue medications on hand. If you start to have a seizue just remember they can t stop it. I doubt anyone of them would even know what to do. this place is a veneer of competency for outsiders. Seizureses normally resolve on their own if left untreated; unleas it s staticuc epilepticuc in where the seizure never ends.Now, I actually don t drink, smoke or do drugs and still nobody there believed me or even cared. I thought they would let me go given this misunderstanding. However, they just kept bilking my insurance company until I finally ran out of money. When I got home, a round of antibiotics cleared my eyes up in less than an hour. My issue was that i kept having depth perception problems and a lot of nerological cross switching, general malaize followed that and confusion brain fog .Brookdale ruined my career and my reputation for something that could have been resolved in an hour with antibiotics under real medical supervision. Oh, also, Brookdale didn t test for Covid! We re in a national pandemic and these geniuses aren t even testing for it.As an addendum, The resident doctor there put me on the wrong medications and the wrong dosages. This little experiment of his landed me in the Emergency room because my cholesterol was so high I was nearly paralized on NYE. Thankfully, an actual neurologist, tapered me off this medication, oxcarbazepine, and also recalibrated the other anti-seizue meds. As a byproduct,my choresterol normalized and the bruising went away. In a short time, was able to get off the oxycarbazapin and Rosverastatin.So anyway, to make this long story short:This is Hotel California.Be careful at this place, as they confiscate your belongings (phone, wallet, keys, etc) and won t let you leave until you agree to some kind of aftercare program that stalks you outside of your home or forces you to escape a sober home . I had residual covid in the mucus membranes of my eyes and it nearly causes me to go blind. If left you leave this condition untreated, you can go blind, permanently.The staff and the medical community here have a one-track mind: addiction. There are no considerations for other medical conditions. Like I stated earlier, I was very fortunate to get home and get antibiotics to clear up the infection. At Brookdale, you can t have visitors (at all) and are only allowed to make one phone call after a week upon signing over your life to a cult. Beware of any recovery facilities like this. You have been warned! As an aside, I ve been working with a few neurologies and they think the anicovulsants the Dr at Brookdale had me on we re insane. Neurology had to keep me in in the hospital to safely ween me off some of the medications they had me taking. It was causing some of the scaries side effects I ve ever experienced. If you ve had complications from Covid or even a concussion, please seek out medical attention from a real medical staff that deals with these conditions, exclusively. Get 2nd and 3rd opinions too. Good Luck!

I spent 32 days @ Brookdale - Life was pretty dark/overwhelming/anxiety ridden during this time. With the support, care, encouragement, empathy, non-judgement and professionalism of the ENTIRE staff I successfully completed the program - at the conclusion, I was given the most beautiful coin-out - filled with lots of love, emotion, tears and laughter :)I am not one to sugarcoat - challenges/issues will ALWAYS arise and they did - THIS IS LIFE - BUT - when this did happen for me - whether minor or serious - it was addressed IMMEDIATELY- handled professionally/dealt with - allowing me to focus on my recovery.From my interactions with the owner to operations to my therapist to group facilitators to nursing staff to doctors to case manager to techs, etc. they made my time at Brookdale worth it!I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this program to those who are ready to surrender - not only did the program/facility do wonders for me; my family was able to grow as well.They went above and beyond for me I look forward to maintaining a relationship - attending alumni events and participating in Alumni meetings :)Brookdale will always hold a special place in my heart

**UPDATE*6/3/24 FINALLY GOT A REFUND. Thanks to Amy Durham, almost a year later.After posting this original review I was contacted by Amy Durham, Chief Executive Officer on 6/7/23. She first called me and promised that she would work with the Finance team and expedite my refund. I didn't hear anything from anyone and I again reached out on 9/20/23 and she replied that she had no words and would take this all the way to the top and apologized. I have called and left several messages with the finance department and have never gotten a return call and I haven't heard back from Amy, This is absolutely horrible, its hard enough to be dealing with a child who has addiction issues but to have to fight for a refund of money that you willing paid because you were desperate to help your child is next is ridiculous. At this point it has been 17 months! I hope this gets someone attention that can help me! As a side note this is thousands of dollars!This facility has owed us money since September/October 2022. I willingly paid an out of pocket max to get our son help. In the end we ended up not owing that much and despite my many attempts by calls and mail I have yet to get a return phone call, mail or refund. They answer the phone to collect money but when they owe you good luck!!
