The wait for radiology to read a CT is ridiculous. We came in at 6:30pm, triaged within 15 min. Dr came into our room right away, nurse very nice, the wait is what is terrible it's 9:41 and still waiting... .

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
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.

Treatments

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.

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

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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

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.

(Wife Amy posting) Chambersburg saved my life in January. The hospital has been getting a bad rap over the past few years and I believe it's due more to short staffing & the COVID-19 shot policies, and a few bad staff apples. God & C-burg pulled me through septic shock during an 8-day stay. I received practically exemplary care from just about everyone who worked my case, (shout-outs) from Bobby in ER, to CCU nurses, through discharge. Dr. Guthrie in Wound Care continued with me afterwards (all staff there are wonderful). I was too sick to transport anywhere else and they did a great job for me, not initially knowing what all was wrong with me. For them it's probably just another day at work on too long of a shift but for me it was my life.

The only reasons for 5/5 are because of the nurses and doctor! I didnt catch his name but he was very kind & gentle with my 2 year old that was having a mild meltdown..his nurse was also very gentle and understanding with him..the only negative thing I have to say is about the security guy..I didnt like being questioned while others were coming in & out and werent getting told/asked anything..

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE..... When I was pregnant I slipped and fell on my steps and sprained my hand, took them OVER 2 HOURS just go get me in the doors. And might I add it was pretty empty in that building (I wonder why) then it took them ANOTHER 2 HOURS just to look at my hand, and ANOTHER 2 HOURS just for them to say I'm fine you can go home then had the audacity to charge me $400 upfront.... I ended up having my son at UPMC in Carlisle (Best experience might I add). Will not EVER be going to Chambersburg again and if you can help it I wouldn't recommend it.. the people there treat you like garbage and like you don't know your own body constantly telling you what's best FOR YOU and treating you like a nuance when you need something. If I could give this place a 0 I would.

I was extremely impressed by the care my mom received from the Chambersburg hospital and ALL of the staff that cared for her. She came in with complete heart block and they immediately had her on a heart monitor and set up for success in case something bad happened. The ED and staff were fantastic-they were quick acting and had all pieces in place within minutes. The doctor saw her right away and reassured her that a pacemaker was the right choice. The staff on the second floor where she stayed were attentive and kind, they took time to explain everything to us and did it with care. Her physician, Dr. Johnson and the nurse practitioner, Nikki, were on point with her care. They explained everything in clear detail to my family and gave us the time we needed to ask questions. She received a pacemaker the next day and the care she received there was also top notch.My mom is home and doing well thanks to everyone and their excellent care!

Nurses are overworked. Some things in my care went undocumented but Dr. Gordon helped me a lot. Nurse Steve is amazing!! Dr. Muhkerjee is very knowledgeable in psychiatry and listens to his patients well. I experienced sexual harassment twice by male patients while I was there and staff immediately took action to protect me. I just wish they had an outdoor area for patients because we desperately needed fresh air in the place or a gym or something, but occupational therapy was amazing. Laurie, Devin, & Mark were phenomenal to be around!

This hospital is a joke. If I were dying I wouldn't even go to that hospital. My brother has been in there for 2 weeks and they've ran some test on him but haven't gotten any results back on anything. They told him they were going to put a feeding tube in him and then did not they also told him they were going to give him a blood transfusion and then did not. They have told him so many things they were going to do that they haven't done. He looks like a pow refugee and is very sick. He has been unable to eat anything since he's been in there. They were going to do a colonoscopy today but he only drank half the stuff so they said they couldn't do it. Not sure why he doesn't have anything in him to begin with. Just one more thing they said they were going to do and haven't. He has a different doctor about every day and the doctors don't know what the other one are doing because they don't communicate with each other. Please if you care about yourself or your loved one do not ever go to this Hospital. The only thing good about it is the nurses.
