Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Mountain Laurel Recovery Center offers inpatient detox treatment provided by highly trained professionals. They can provide detox services for those suffering from opiate, alcohol and bezodiazepine withdrawal.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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. Short- and long-term inpatient residential treatment programs for men and women, ages 18 and up, are provided at their 36-bed facility in Westfield, Pennsylvania. Mountain Laurel Recovery Center provides all residents with the necessary structure to empower them to focus introspectively. Residential treatment allows those suffering from addiction to focus intensively on learning to live life without alcohol and/or other drugs.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Because of the stigma and shame often associated with addictive disorders, individuals and families are often inclined to deny the presence of a substance use problem. An intervention specialist is available to assist the family in navigating the intervention / evaluation process as well as serve as a consultant to assist the individual and family with identifying and securing the best course of treatment possible.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Mountain Laurel Recovery Center (MLRC) assists residents with the transition to sober living by providing them with sober peer support and by offering accountability in the first months in recovery. As members of the MLRC program, residents will be required to participate in an active recovery program including Intensive Outpatient Treatment, 12-Step participation, and Sponsorship support, and to maintain a clean and healthy living space.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

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 and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

medicare iconElectroconvulsive Therapy

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

Mountain Laurel Recovery Center recognizes that chemical dependency is a family illness and impacts more than just the addicted individual. Families are often involved in the intervention and assessment process. More times than not, the family’s involvement in the intervention and treatment process is pivotal in assisting the addicted individual in better understanding the impact of his or her addiction, and subsequent need for treatment. In their Family Program, families are encouraged to attend weekly educational and process groups with the addicted family member to better aid them in understanding the scope of the addiction and its impact on both the addict and the family system.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Residents also have access to focus groups that meet on site during the daytime and evening hours. Focus group meetings assist their residents in the recovery process by instilling the 12-step philosophy in all group work. Medical groups will be available to assist in decreasing anxiety levels, teach coping skills, and explain the detox process so their residents are educated and prepared throughout the entirety of the process.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, they support residents as they explore themselves and how their relationships have shaped and created behaviors. Their aim is to help individuals accept the inner-self that consists of thoughts, feelings, values, and beliefs. Self-acceptance will allow individuals to experience the range of feelings authentically.

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.

desert iconMotivational 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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health. All residents will learn the importance of nutrition as part of their holistic approach.

Rational Behavior Therapy

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

They believe that treatment of trauma in tandem with the disease of addiction is not only supportive but essential. The goal of addiction treatment at Mountain Laurel Recovery Center (MLRC) is not to look for trauma but instead to be trauma-informed. The five core values of being trauma-informed are safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.

Worst Recovery Center possible. The management is terrible and the CEO does not care about the residents what so ever.

This place is a joke! Im not even a nurse & i know more stuff than the staff here does! Nobody is on the same page with stuff & they stole my michael kors sweater & my torch. They didnt do an inventory of my belongings or let me sit in while they went thru everything. Then they lost the medication that i came in with. And put me into precipitated withdrawals 2x dosing me too much the first time & too close together the next 2 times. Im pregnate & my blood pressure was 178/110 with a pulse rate of 120. I admitted myself & couldnt even leave when i wanted to. Totaly quack shack. Do yourself a favor & find an alternate route than this place. You will regret it if u dont.

I recently left AMA yesterday May 5th 2024 due to these reasons. From day one when the administrative staff and my counselor (Sarah) told me that they were going to do something it never got done. If they did actually do the task at hand. It was days or most times weeks past when they said it was done, or in my experience not done at all!! For legal reasons I can't say everything that I want regarding my experience. I can say though that Bill who does the tobacco run on Tuesday and Thursday. Illegally used my money card for cash purchases that I 1000% did not authorized. Unfortunately I'm not the only one who had to experience this awful selfish actions from Bill illegally abusing their bank cards! I will definitely post the his actions once the legal procedures are over!

I went to Mount Laurel at the beginning of December 2023 for a week. I've been trying to get them to send the medical assessment paperwork to NYS life/Short term disability for months. I've went to another facility for treatment l, and cannot get my short term disability because Mount Laurel refuses to send the paperwork required to get my claim approved. I have call Mount Laurel everyday for a month and they won't answer the phone or be helpful and send the paperwork. I've been polite and respectful the whole time. I would not recommend this facility after you leave they won't do anything for you, they have already gotten there money and don't care about anything else.

Ok. Best for bed to bed clients. Any Serious addiction abuse would be better with a hospital facility. Too many people and not enough professional people to help. A wonderful place for people who are already detoxed and Patients Comfortable with a high Volume of people.

Every thing seemed to fall into place during my stay at Mountain Laurel. I received everything that I needed to start the foundation for ongoing recovery. I kept an open mind about what ever was going on during my stay and was able to find good in every aspect of the process. I learned to be truly honest about years past in my life. My recovery was left for me to pursue, my attending groups and meetings was up to me to be at all of them on time being respectful to everyone there. The program at Mountain Laurel is very simple beginning with honesty , open mindedness and willingness to ourselves. Recovery starts with me doing the right thing for me and not believing just because didn t get caught by someone other than myself it was okay. I know that I need to be honest and accountable to myself for my actions to begin to recover. I learned that things are not always going to go as I expected and that s part of life and how to deal with them in a positive healthy way. The staff at Mountain Laurel went above and beyond my expectations. Things I needed were done in the time they to happen. Not what I wanted when I wanted.I could write about all the good things that I experienced but I am going to end this , when I made the decision to go to Mountain Laurel I had lost all hope for myself I was beaten and today even though I have so many problems I have to work on from my past I have hope for myself and faith that everything is going to be okay. Let me say Thanks to Everyone for helping me !!!Donny C.
