Horrible place they do not help. My stepson told them he needs more help. Bit yet they are discharging him. They claim thier job is only to stabilize. It takes 15 days for physc meds to kick in so how do you know if they are stable if you release them in 15 days. Place is a complete joke. ..Funny part is I am a guardian. Yall do not follow federal laws anyway. Your place is a joke. Advertise residential but don't do it. You have a kid crying out for help and yet you send him home.You know exactly what kid I'm talking about so if your truly concerned instead of doing damage control you have our number you feel free to reach out. You are a money hungry prig.

Had our sons info for over 20 hours but couldn t give an estimate on when they would make a decision or not to take him. Having him in an ER psych ward made him more aggressive because he can t understand so we had to give up as apparently the admission staff thinks a chart and referral is like reading Tolstoy! No help for kids with severe special needs this side of heaven and definitely not here!

Question iconWho Answers?

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
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.
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.
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.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The goal of nutrition therapy is to help you understand how your diet affects your overall health. It teaches you healthy eating habits, which speed up your recovery and give you the nutrients you need for long term physical and mental health.

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.

Two nicotine replacement therapy medicines have been approved by the FDA. Bupropion decreases cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Varenicline reduces the urge to smoke and the enjoyment you get from cigarettes. Nonprescription therapies include gum, patches, and lozenges.

I was not going to write anything until I received a response. I was here as an adolescent, during a very difficult time of my life. My experience here was traumatic. I spent very little time with actual medical professionals or therapists. Most of the time was spent sitting in a room while staff conversed and watched us. The unit was filthy and the staff were extremely rude and disrespectful. My stay was not therapeutic at all. I needed many hours of additional therapy after my experience here. Do not send your children here or else they may leave worse than before.

My son attended Foundations twice, the first time I guess I was ignorant to the neglect, but this last time my son lost over 15lbs in a month. He is 10 years old so this is extremely disturbing. He was attacked and bit in his own bed by another patient, who was not rooming with him, multiple times, while staff was nowhere to be found. This other child was supposed to be on a 24/7 watch after the first time he attacked my son (and other children i was told). Both of these children are nonverbal and autistic which leads me to ask why either was left unattended, let alone both unattended together? This bite was extremely downplayed to me, but when he was released I discovered 2 large bite mark bruises. This was about a week and a half after it happened so I can't imagine how bad they were at first. Missy the director does not care about her job. We had a sit-down meeting for a half hour with his counselor Cleo, and Missy, about my son's safety. I then spoke to her on the phone. Next time I saw her she told me it was nice to finally meet me in person.... After having just had a long meeting about my son in person the week before... I spoke to the dietician multiple times and still accommodations could not be made to get my son food that he would eat. I ended up having to drop him food and was limited to nothing refrigerated or frozen, and nothing that needed to be cooked, so my son ate easy mac for a month. Nothing was done about my son's behaviors while he was there, all that happened was his physical health deteriorated. When I tried to talk about him not being ready for discharge, they had 4 people get on the phone with me, not letting me speak, talking over me the entire time. It was totally unprofessional, disgusting, bullying behavior. I stressed that he was not ready and physically hurt me our last visit, but I was not listened to. Dr Rashida Akter should be fired. She had an awful attitude the entire duration of my sons stay, and did absolutely nothing while my son was in her care. The first day he got there his Ritalin had been changed at CHOP literally 2 days prior and she wanted to remove it. It didn't sound like she even read anything in his records or file. My favorite was when she told me "maybe he should be discharged so he can go home and eat his preferred foods." After charging my insurance $30k you can't feed my child? In a month we had 2 different counselors, 2 different psychiatrists and 3 different pediatricians. There was no consistency. They refused to meet with our home therapists. Nothing was done in parent sessions except watching my son hit me, throw his food all over the room, and then was discharged after that being my last visit experience. The day my son was being discharged because Missy and Cleo said he was no longer aggressive, a pediatrician called me to tell me he attacked her and knocked things over in her room. No one speaks to each other there. I will be reporting to proper PA authorities.

I wanted to put this review out for those scared and anxious parents who will have their child come in Foundations for the first time. My son was admitted to this hospital a month ago. He is high functioning, and very kind and sweet when he is in his calm state. However, he would have explosive meltdowns when he gets overwhelmed probably once every 2-3 months. The only thing that we haven't tried yet was to do the in-patient program. We had enough support. We have our Care Manager, psychiatrist, school support, teachers and therapists in other schools, a lot. All of them said that we were doing the right thing. So we gave it a go. It was traumatizing for him and us for sure. From CHOP, we were taken there by an ambulance. Once we arrived there, we were asked to wait. It was 9:15 pm when we arrived. We were able to talk to someone by 12:00 am. There was no information disclosed to us (what will happen, what would it be like, etc). I had to ask the techs picking him up questions. That was the only time I got some info. I really hope they have a system in place to inform parents about the whole process.By 1:00, he finally got in. We had to say our most painful goodbyes.The next days were tough. We got to talk to him every night. He would call us. He told us that it was too loud over there, that there were kids bullying, stealing, and even getting "possessed by the devil". At the beginning, my son said that he couldn't shower because the techs would say "it will take a while" or "we only shower once a week". My son is also rigid with toothbrushing. He asked for a toothbrush but he said the techs would say they run out. Every night I would cry, but some nurses would do a check in for me. His counselor was fairly nice. The doctor seemed to be knowledgeable. But i do have to say that if you don't call consistently, they will not pay attention. His school is so supportive that they will also do check ins themselves. I think Foundations saw that we were serious so they would give feedback all the time. My suggestion is to call all the time. Don't get tired of it. You have that right!Overall, I could say that Foundations was fairly okay. I think any behavioral health hospital won't be perfect. You will not get 5 star reviews. It will not be a vacation. It will be scary. However, you can do what you need to do as a parent. A good behavioral health center should be giving you honest feedback, calling you for information, asking questions about your child, and letting you know what the medical plan is. Foundations was able to give most of that to us. That's why I'm giving them 4 stars. They also gave me good payment plan for the fees. Foundations is a highly recommended hospital by top special ed schools and care managers. If this is your first time, have faith. Keep on calling everyday. Demand for info all the time. Ask for the names of each person you talk to. Good luck!

Heavily abusive I was hit or yelled at because I had nonverbal temporary shutdowns I had bruises from staff members such as Mr jrease( cant spell his name right( mr shreise (another nane i can't spell) my headphones were taken away when i had panic attacks the reason i got better was becaue of the patients and some small amount of nice staff like nurse jen she comes out bc shes nice and they metaphorically shove stuff under the rug. I went there wanting to die to feeling the need to survive dreading waking up there knowing they'll say that the kid touching my privates in my sleep even though i caught him they said he wasn't even near my room the only coping skill they taught me was to take pills to calm down that got me obsessed with pills i wasnt even prescribedWritten by wilber (kerri-lynn) a former patient

I wish I could rate it negative 5 stars. The worst experience my family has had in our lives. We went there for resources for our son. I wish I had not driven my high functioning autistic son there or set foot on their property. The doctor did not even TALK to our son before telling us they were committing him for 5 DAYS and filing a 302 despite our pleading to let us go. My son is non violent nor suicidal. We told the doc that being committed is not what he needs and it would be traumatizing for him!!! The doctor never came back. We ended up having to hire an attorney and take him for a second opinion evaluation so that the 302 was withdrawn. Due to this place, child protective services got involved, police showed up at my home to take my son from us. Since my son did not need to be committed which was confirmed via a different psychiatrist at a different crisis center, the 302 was quashed. This place nearly damaged my son forever and tore apart our family. DO NOT SET FOOTin this place if you love your child and want to be able to determine what is best for your child.
