check iconDual 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.

mental-health iconMental Health

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples 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.

Eating Disorder Treatment

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential 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.

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

I started working at Devereux Pocono in October 2019 as a DSP and was promoted to Program Specialist a year and a half ago. The manager I had as a DSP kept encouraging me to apply to be a Specialist and move ahead in the company, and I truly appreciated the support. There is definitely career advancement at Devereux, and it is encouraged. I currently work for one of the best managers I ever had, and the Clinical Department is small but tight knit. I feel included and appreciated here.Devereux is supportive of educational pursuits and does offer some tuition assistance. They recognize the importance of education for their staff and how that will benefit the individuals that we serve. Devereux also provides a significant amount of training yearly so that the staff can be well prepared to care for our individuals.The upper management is easy to speak with and willing to help out if needed, or to try and rectify something if there is an issue that arises.Devereux is not perfect, but no company is (especially in this field). It is, however, a wonderful place to work and I would recommend them to anyone. If I had it to do over, I would work here all over again.

A great job if you love working with children. Friendly staff, flexible hours. Supervised meetings to help everyone stay updated on clients. Assisting others is rewarding. The benefits are great and better than a lot of agencies in this area. Management is friendly and helpful. Opportunities for advancement.

I have been working at Devereux in Newfoundland for a little over 4 months and can say with total confidence that I love my job. Everyone is supportive from my own department all the way up to leadership. I feel encouraged to learn and develop professionally and that my life at home and other commitments are respected as well. If you decide to join the Devereux family you won't regret it.

I don't see this place as bad as those who have reviewed before me but I do know a few things. First, I worked there over 3 years and they overloaded me with jobs and when I begged to have a case removed because the mom would make me drive an HOUR without confirming if I could see the client (means NO pay) they wrote me up and then ultimately let me go for telling the woman I would not come unless she confirmed.But the most important thing is the BHRS is contract which means you, as an independent contractor can have money taken away from you they don't like something. It also means they do not take taxes out, do not contribute to your social security or retirement, don't pay for training that is required each year and pay you a ridiculously low rate ($10/hr) but require a Master's degree for weekly supervision. They also do not pay for travel which is a BIG cost. They say they pay you more than other agencies because they don't pay for these things but other agencies pay very close to what Devereux pays so it does not make up for it. Plus, when you are let go, you aren't able to collect unemployment because you are an IC but the job holds STRICT control over you like every other BHRS agency but the other agencies consider you an employee. Devereux also may give you 30 hours of working with children that is paid for but another 10-15 hours per week is paperwork that is NOT paid for. If their equipment messes up and loses your paperwork, you get to do it again for free. The management does not back you up and will stab you in the back.So run, do not walk away from this business.

I was in this hellhole in paoli and nowhere in my State was any better. My wife was also in it. Many staff with perminet backrounds beat me half to death twice a week. I have a shattered wrist. Someone i know was released with PTSD and killed someone. The good people and clients were blackmailed into silence or they would be economically, physically, or any other abuse for assault. I was in here and i had to fight everyday or i would probably be dead. I was 13-15 when i was in there and many kids resorted back to prison instead because they were so scared. I was also sexually assaulted by one staff in here. The staff were savage barbaric thugs. I almost died in these places. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN SUFFER LIKE I HAVE. My wife was in Newfoundland Pennsylvania and was assulted by staff and other adult patients. They let her abusive ex visit constantly who was an ilkegal gun owner and drug dealer visit. Every person i personally met on the inside as a patent can tell you the same or worse. RAPES, MURDERERS, SUICIDES AND HUSHMONEY were all reported in every single one in Pennsylvania. I've read up on it. I plan on becoming a P.I. so i can stop these c**kheads from ruining our kids. Im 20 years old and a day does not go by where i dont have trust issues or feel insecure over others in reality. I dont let this effect my life or my choices. I got over my trama I was given in there but i also wish that this company was shut down long ago. if anyone currently has someone in there now you can save them by doing the mistake i and my family did not do is to investigate, sue, and get your child out of there.

Devereux Ponoco Center is a terrible company. I wouldn t recommend anyone to work at this company. Do Not work for this company, you would regret work with them if you do decide to work at Devereux. I definitely DO regret work with them.
