About Huntington Creek Recovery Center
Huntington Creek Recovery Center is based in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. They treat substance use disorders and co-occurring menta health conditions. Their main offerings are their residential programs. They have a program for adults and a program for adolescents ages 13 to 18. They also offer medically supervised detox services for adults over the age of 18.
Their detox services are designed to keep you comfortable and stable as you adjust to living without substances. The experienced and knowledgeable team carefully monitors your condition, adjusting medication levels and determining when you’re ready to begin treatment.
The residential program is structured without feeling restrictive. Each day starts with a healthy breakfast and a guided stretch or meditation session. You’ll then attend a group therapy session, enjoy some free time, and eat lunch. Afterward, you’ll move into experiential therapy sessions and structured recreation time.
This is followed by a hearty dinner, one final group therapy session and self-help meetings. Every day ends with a quick debriefing session where all residents talk about the day’s activities and celebrate their growth.
Something unique about Huntington Creek Recovery Center is the fact that the program focuses majorly on experiential therapies. Experiential therapy involves using immersive activities to work through difficult emotions and experiences.
Some of the activities you can partake in include team building activities, aerobic fitness classes and a challenging but fun ropes course. They also offer a wilderness program, nature walks, hiking trips, campfire outings and other outdoor adventure trips that teach you about resilience while letting you connect with nature. You can also get involved with more mindful activities like yoga, guided meditation, and music therapy.
They incorporate evidence based practices as a foundation for the experiential methods. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), the 12-step program and motivational interviewing. You’ll attend individual and group therapy sessions several times a week to learn coping mechanisms and work through issues that contribute to substance use.

Treatment
Dual 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.
Substance Abuse
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive 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.
Experiential Therapy
In order to offer patients the opportunity to receive a holistic approach to care, Huntington Creek Recovery Center implements a number of experiential therapies into the overall course of programming when individuals are working to overcome an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. Each Monday, a certified recreational therapist comes to their center to facilitate a variety of special projects with their patients. Men and women who partake in this method of care can benefit from making art projects, participating in a music group that features instruments and sing-a-longs, and learning beneficial recovery-orientated skills that will help them along their journeys to sobriety.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Without addressing a patient’s trauma history, it can be difficult to effectively treat his or her substance abuse disorder. Therefore, the clinical program at Huntington Creek Recovery Center includes a variety of treatment techniques designed to help patients heal from past traumas. As part of their individualized treatment plans, patients have access to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Originally designed to help individuals who were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR is a multiphase treatment designed to help patients reprocess their experience of past negative events.
Family Therapy
Family therapy sessions are conducted by either a patient’s primary counselor or a family therapist and are held on an as-needed basis depending on each person’s individualized treatment plan at their rehab center. Pending the patient’s consent, his or her family members can be updated on his or her treatment progress each week. Additionally, family members are highly encouraged to be involved in rehab during weekly family visits. During visitation time, family members will also have the opportunity to participate in an educational lecture, though it is not required.
Fitness Therapy
Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is another extremely beneficial medium for individuals who are working on recovering from an addiction. In this setting, patients can benefit from being surrounded by peers who are facing challenges that are similar to their own. This can serve to provide a sense of comfort as men and women come to realize that they are not alone in their struggles, and therefore do not have to feel isolated. It can also be an optimal setting for individuals to give and receive support and encouragement to and from one another. Group therapy sessions are held daily.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions occur in a one-to-one forum where a patient meets confidentially with his or her primary counselor. When struggling with an addiction, individual therapy sessions can be an ideal place for patients to process through what they are learning in addiction rehab, as well as to discuss any concerns they have or any trials they are facing. These sessions are held at least two or three times per week.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Recreational Therapy
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Trauma 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.
