I won't tell you it was a completely negative experience because I learned some things that I didn't knew but clearly there are a lot of things that need to improve for this to be a place that really helps the patients.
About Greenbriar Treatment Center
Greenbriar Treatment Center is located in Washington, Pennsylvania. They offer drug and alcohol withdrawal services, substance use inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient addiction treatment, and recovery support services. This includes treatment for underlying mental health issues (dual diagnosis).
The treatment center accepts most major insurances offered in Western Pennsylvania. That includes Highmark BCBS and UPMC. If you’re uninsured, ask them about alternative funding options.
Everyone’s recovery journey is different but the first step for most people is detox which is withdrawing from the addictive substances in your body. Detox is the first step in the inpatient facility where they’ll monitor you for any difficult or dangerous side effects of withdrawal. They’ll give you medication to ease your symptoms if appropriate. Detox can be anywhere from a few days to two weeks.
After detox, you’ll start evidence based treatment to help you recover. You’ll have group and individual therapy. You’ll also have relapse prevention education. You’ll receive treatment for any underlying mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. Your inpatient treatment may be as short as 28 days or as long as 90. You and your team of specialists will decide what length is best for your situation.
They also have an outpatient treatment center for drug and alcohol use disorders. You’ll get an individualized plan after a comprehensive assessment. You’ll see licensed therapists for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
When you have your initial assessment, the team will help you decide which treatment program will work best for you. Inpatient requires you to live at the center so it’s not always feasible for everyone.
There’s also comprehensive discharge planning from both programs to help you in your journey to recovery. They offer continued medication management as well as family education and relapse prevention.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.

Levels of Care
Treatments
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.

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.
Life skills are the mental and social skills that are necessary to navigate day to day life. Addiction diminishes or eliminates these skills, so they must be relearned and practiced during drug rehab treatment in Pennsylvania.
