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.

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance 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.

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

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.

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.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational 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.

I stayed at this place for about 4 months of my life back in 2011 during the winter months. Yes the area was very remote considering where i came from but it was Exactually what i needed. I met alot of good friends and found my self again. I thought the counselors were not the best but the techs were great!!! I have had my ups and downs sense then. But i definitely built a great foundation there. I am 6 years clean now and alot of that has to do with my stay there.. I don't know how it is ran now a days. But i would like to vist on one of the alumni meetings if they have them still and share my experiences. I am not a n.a or a.a or god man, which tech joe didn't agree with. But there is others ways. To stay clean. Thats what i would share..

This place is somewhere you need to stay away from. The counselors here and the director Marsha do absolutely nothing to help you move on in your life. They do the exact opposite and and put obstacles in your way to achieving any kind of goals. You are simply a number and a paycheck. The tech staff does try to help however their ability to do so is restricted due to the unprofessional nature of the counselors and director. For for example once you've reached the highest level you can get the maximum amount of pass time you get is 4 hours and due to covid-19 that is now down to a 2-hour pass on one day of the week. The maximum amount of time you get your phone in a given day is about two and a half hours and they expect you to attempt to find a job in that amount of time. In all actuality they don't even care if or not you get a job. They claim in their handbook to provide juice snacks Etc but the so-called director orders about enough to last 3 days and then we're out and resort to water or your pocketbook. Then the so-called snacks are never provided and we are to rely on leftovers from the meals. Furthermore very often we run out of food during the meals. There is no computer access and we are not allowed to go to the library due to past incidences. There is no outside porch or lawn around the building so if you smoke your confined to basically an attic to do so. Like now in the summertime the temperature in that area is over 100�. I would hope that someone could possibly direct these opinions to whatever licensing board covers this place. For someone attempting to make a change in their life post rehab to the next level where they have a job and a home, new directions doesn't even begin to scratch the surface to help. Being here is a waste of time and I would encourage anyone who reads this to put on microscope on this place.

Complete total waste. All they care about is getting your money or the insurance company s money. No supervision nothing. People just get drugs in downtown Johnstown. If your paying for this your wasting your money. The only reason I gave this review 1 star is because it doesn t give you the option of giving it a 0 !

Very disappointing, seemingly they do not have hardly any activities for the residents and are left to wander the building, sleep or watch TV all day, stay up half the night and even have burner phones to use at night. They get passes even before 30 days and some even will post on social media that they have a pass and to meet them at certain times. It seems too there is very little counseling going on for these people and books are not enough to get an addict to successfully stay clean.
