Levels of Care

Sober 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.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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 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.

Opioid 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.

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

Group 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.

Individual 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

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.

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.

I would not recommend this program for anyone. It is a brainwashing, cult-like program that focuses more on rules and control, then actually helping. It may have helped others in the past and that's fine. But it is time to change. It isn't the 70's anymore. It is super religious, even though they claim not to be, and it was too overwhelming for someone I knew who went there. They won't allow anxiety meds or anything there, and you are told you can get over it by scripture. The only person that was liked by the person I know, is a staff member named Amber. She is the best one there and tries her best. She is friendly and outgoing. The rest was not liked. The toilet didn't work, but another worked, but since there was medicine near it, instead of moving it, they locked the doors and made the girls pee in a bucket. They had to poop in it too if they had to. Now, IF the other one was broken, that's fine. But that was ridiculous. The program is designed really for people who have drug problems and they are ignorant when it comes to abuse. When the person I knew chose not to stay there do to many reasons and was having breakdowns there from anxiety, she felt like it wasn't the place to be. One of the staff members was willing to listen at first and try to handle it, but when the person I knew said she wanted to leave, the demeanor changed. She claimed it was because she didn't want to see the person leave, but she acted more pissed off as the person continued to pack. They cannot take criticism. We understand authority and all, but an organization (like a company) needs to be able to take criticism, adapt, grow, etc. They got defensive and said, "This place has worked for over 40 something years and I refuse to believe it is the program." We never said it was the whole program. SOME people aren't meant for it and it is okay. If you like it, hey, I won't stop you from going there. SOME PEOPLE need what they give there. But they are too religious and too focused on the looks of the person, instead of spending time with God. The person wasn't allowed to share why they were leaving and their decision, wasn't allowed to talk to the person as she left! She couldn't even say bye because they were afraid they would lose the people who were there. And the woman, Miss Deb, who was driving the person to Water Missions or whatever it was called, was guilt tripping and judging, even though she claimed she wasn't. She called the person a runner and this or that, not wanting to accept there could be an issue with the program. They all said this program is not for everyone, but as you leave, they make you feel like a complete failure "runner" "you always go with you wherever you go". Didn't even help her carry her bags to the place. They went from sort of loving (which was being questioned) to completely pissed off. AThe problem is they are trained a certain way and if you stand up for yourself or try to say something could not be right in this situation, they can't take the criticism. Like a company, you need to change with the times (through God of course), work on what could be worked on, and not rely on silly rules that have been there since the 70's. What really got to the person who just left was Miss Suzanne always had an attitude. And she did seem sincere when she talked to the person before she decided to leave, but again her demeanor changed. She told the person she had two choices (after talking to the direction Miss Audrey). She said you can go to this missions place around the corner and you can use their phone to make calls or do whatever to get home or you can stay here and wait for your mom to call. They said that they take girls who don't want to be there to this place all the time. The missions place had no idea what she was talking about and it was hell trying to get her home. NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT GO!
