About Geisinger Community Medical Center

The Geisinger Behavioral Health Center Northeast is a specialized health facility for behavioral health care including drug and alcohol addiction. It’s an inpatient treatment center so you’ll live in the facility during your program.

At this treatment center they primarily offer addiction treatment for people who have co occurring disorders. That means you have drug or alcohol addiction as well as a mental health or behavioral health condition like depression or schizophrenia or PTSD.

What I find most interesting about this inpatient program is the varied and integrative approach they use. The therapists and specialists here will combine different treatment strategies to give you a one of a kind program. That includes tried and true methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and group counseling. It also includes more expressive and creative methods like art therapy and music therapy and even dance therapy.

It’s also important to note that they take an approach of trauma informed care. The team here understands that you may have trauma in your past and their treatment will be sensitive to this while also aiming to help you heal.

Hi,I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am being interviewed by a Washington DC journal tomorrow about my amputation. The whole story including CMC cutting my artery, causing me to need 2 blood transfusions and 6 weeks of IV iron infusions, and not giving me any resources or information after. I had to ask for a script for PT and was not given any info about prosthetics or OVR. I have all of the documentation so I am within my rights to share facts. I just wanted to give you a heads up.Laura Sullivan

Just spent 5 days in the hospital there and I can t say more about the quality of care I received from the doctors to the nurses to the transport people and the people cleaning my room. All the doctors were extremely caring and worked diligently to help find the answers I had been looking for regarding my illness. The nurses that took care of me on the 4th floor room 470, especially Eve, Gianna, and Tracy were absolutely 5 star nurses. Eve even though i only met her on my last day was incredible and made me feel safe and eased all my anxiety during my time. Gianna s care was top notch and she never once made me feel like a burden. And Tracy was one of the most incredible humans I ever met. She was my biggest advocate, my therapist, my shoulder to cry on and always there to talk in the middle of the night when I couldn t sleep. She made me feel like family whilst under her care. Geisinger is extremely lucky to have such amazing nurses and they all deserve a pay raise or bonus for their hard work and dedication. I also want to shout out my nurse in the ER whose name I don t know how to spell but she was incredible as well and my call bell was always answered promptly with a smile. Thank you again for all the help!

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.

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.
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.

Everyone we came into contact with at the hospital was compassionate and thoughtful, from the parking attendant to the physicians, PAs, NPs. The care team was concerned and responsive. The nursing staff was competent and caring and took great care of my loved one when I could not be there. They made a terrible situation bearable.

A family member has been in this facility for several days now.Hospitals never amaze me.The Hospital cleanness is far from clean.The cleaning personal lack training or just do not care. The cleaning personal comes in to clean a room, the dust mop just pushes the dirt around. The items are left on the floor or pushed under the standing machines or the cart with the computer.I was sitting in a area where there are chairs. The maintenance crew came in on the sweeper driving around in a small area cleaning the floor. The maintenance crew came with inches of me and I thought he was going to hit me. The machine that cleans the floor still left marks on the floor. When the maintenance crew was done, he enter the elevator and left about 5 foot of water on the floor.Don't Hospital have service elevators?There is so much that I can say while I sit with a family and observe the cleaning and the quality of care a patient receives and how long it takes for a nurse or aide to get to a patient for care.Why are the staff allowed to have phone on their person. Not just the nurse, you have aides maintenance crew, social works and so on.

Pitiful. Chest pain, left arm numbness, headache blood pressure 200/130. Yet told to wait. Over 5 hours. This place needs to be sued and sued a lot to get them out of business. What a joke

I m frequently at the cancer center as a patient. Usually it s okay but this last time I had a wicked phlebotomist draw my blood. She was so rude to me and the other staff. Her name was Tonie or something like that. She was in my face and so loud. Very disrespectful woman. May the lord take me soon.

The hospital is old and you're squeezed into a room you must share with another patient only one TV that you share, one bathroom that is so dirty and old and you share it with another patient it's just so old and dirty in every room and the will not allow you out of bed by yourself even though you can do it yourself no place to put anything and your visitors have no place to sit most of the staff is very good and helpful if the hospital itself did some renovations and up graded the patient rooms to singles it would be a great place the hospital patient rooms need updateing to small and dirty

Do yourself a favor when you're sick and don't go here. Not enough rooms in the Er so you are put on a bed in the hallway. Which might not seem to bad until your are there for 11 hrs! Don't know which nurse or Dr is for you because your see them once and then thats it! I was stopping EMT to ask them to find me a nurse. At this point I needed water and had nothing to drink since 11am or food .So go someplace else anywhere else but here!!!!!!
