About Northeast Family Healthcare

Northeast Family Healthcare is a center that dispenses methadone and harm reduction materials, along with counseling. They’re located in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Even though their services are limited, they are accredited by CARF, so you know they have a standard level of care.

Northeast Family Healthcare’s main service is medication assisted treatment. Basically, clients come in for methadone, Suboxone, or Vivitrol to manage their withdrawal pains and avoid relapses. That way, they can strengthen their recovery while avoiding temptation. There’s a doctor and nursing staff on site to help you avoid an overdose. Optional counseling is available, and clients may partake in group or family therapy. Harm reduction materials are also available in case you do relapse.

The center is open only in the mornings and early afternoon, but it is fairly accessible by bus lines. Northeast Family Healthcare is part of the Pinnacle network, so you might be referred to a larger facility if needed.

Some clients have expressed concerns about the fact that medication assisted treatment is the primary treatment option. If you’re considering any treatment center, it’s good to do your research before committing to make sure their services fit your needs.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

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 Rehab

Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to focus solely on their sobriety away from the stressors of the home and workplace. Clients receive housing, food, and intensive clinical supervision. They also typically engage in multiple addiction counseling sessions each week, including daily individual, group, and/or family sessions. Most programs also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training, including courses in relapse prevention. Many facilities offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients engaged in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) live and work in their home community while receiving frequent, high-level care. These programs offer personalized care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, but high-risk clients and those in early recovery may receive up to 20 hours of care weekly. IOP services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as massage.

aftercare iconAftercare

Clients receiving services from a rehab aftercare program are usually stable and in the maintenance phase of recovery, having completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment. Rehab aftercare services can vary widely based on clients' individual and evolving needs, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, 12 step program induction, and medical, mental health, and social service referrals. Individual care plans are typically developed by the client in partnership with their case manager and care team.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs prioritize the recovery journey as a life-long process based on personal spiritual growth and ongoing peer support. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are held multiple times each day in most communities, is expected. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring by a self-selected peer sponsor. The 12 steps are designed to encourage participants' self-compassion, awareness, acceptance, and accountability. Dedicated programs for specialized groups, including seniors, teens, and families, are common.

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. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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.

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance 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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Pennsylvania can be helpful to individuals who are experiencing substance use disorder and various mental health conditions. It helps you identify damaging thought and behavior patterns and replace them with healthy ones.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy in Pennsylvania is an evidence based technique that involves group therapy, individual therapy, and phone coaching. Group sessions focus on learning behavioral skills. Individual therapy gives you the opportunity to apply what you're learning to your personal situations. Phone coaching allows you to call your therapist during the week for help with challenging situations.

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

Personalized therapy sessions in Pennsylvania typically include a safe and nonjudgmental setting in which you can express your deepest emotions and feelings and explore the factors that have contributed to addiction. Therapists tailor the sessions to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, which improve your self control and build a foundation for your long term sobriety.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing in Pennsylvania gives you the opportunity to share your perspective and explore your ideas and motivation for change. Your therapist will walk you through the four steps of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning to empower you to make any desired changes in your life.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Couples therapy in Pennsylvania is typically short term treatment that focuses on building skills that lead to positive long term relationship changes. Sessions with the therapist may occur both jointly and individually.

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.

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF's, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.

I've been a patient for almost 3 yrs, and although I've had several different counselors, and case managers. With the exception of a few bad seeds they've been extremely helpful and professional. They've helped me have 100% clean drug tests. That's 36 drug tests all completely negative. Thanks to this facility. They're all heroes to me.Thank you allShannon Mata

NFH is a great program with great counselors, nurses and staff. I would give them 5 stars if their takehome policy was better. Currently you have to have 3 years clean to receive 5 takehomes and 4 years clean to receive 6 bottles!!! Which is just crazy. I just hope that they will update their policy to where you receive a new takehome after every 90 days of clean UDS's up to 6 bottles like every other program that I'm aware of.

This place is a joke. I've had 5 counselors since I started 1.5yrs ago. They don't understand apparently that they can't help people with no built trust. I was sober for over 5yrs after my other clinic, and it's definitely time to look for a new one. They fire everyone good or they quit. This place doesn't help. They also told me I shouldn't be mad, so basically you're already invalidating my feelings about the issue...yeah that's good counseling.

I absolutely love this clinic! The staff here are so nice, especially Dr. Danielle, Heather, Shannon, Lisa, Deesha, and Diego. My counselor Anna is so helpful and awesome to talk to. I can't express how the staff does not judge and really listens to us. I wish they had a mental health program as well.

It would seem there are two different responses to the services at NEFHC. The bad reviews are from people who didn't follow their programs and had nothing but relapses and problems with the facilities rules, like no using. Then there is a second group of responses from people who were serious about there recovery and followed the program with excellent results. I am from the second group I have been at the clinic since the very beginning. I've seen all the changes and the patients come and go. But it's been 7 yrs and I'm still sober something I've never been able to say in my life. Thank god for NEFC. Follow the program and the world could be yours!

The employees of the clinic are amazing and are there to help us succeed! The experience itself will be what you make it make it to be. I have been a patient there twice. First time I was not ready to get clean and the rules and regulations I saw as negative. This second time I was pregnant and took the program seriously and now have almost 3 years clean and am detoxing steadily and should completely be off the medicine in 6 months. I definitely could not have done it without the help of my counselor and all the staff as well as all the rules and freedoms I earned along the way!

Response from the owner3 years ago
Positive recovery stories like yours are why we do what we do! Thank you for sharing your experience and giving hope to those suffering from addiction, you're an inspiration to us all.
