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.

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

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

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.

Since the merger with St. Lukes Hospital (St. Lukes / Penn Foundation), I feel that the quality of client care has plummeted. Doctors and Therapists are leaving . No one seems to know what is going on . I feel absolutely ABANDONED.

I was an inpatient at the rehab center. I contacted them to get my records sent over to my doctor. That was 3 weeks ago. No one will contact me. I can't get anywhere on the phone. All I get is the switchboard. They keep sending me over to records and the woman there, Megan Miller, will not return my phone calls or my emails. I've been trying for 3 weeks to get my records from my own stay there. They are the DIRECT reason why I cannot move forward. I cannot move forward without my records and they are holding me up. THEY are the ONLY reason I cannot move forward! I am beyond frustrated and angry!

Debbie Strouse is my lifesaver and although I had some issues with some of the staff over the years, it was always made right because of Deb - she is the best counselor EVER and I am so grateful that I was able to have her as my therapist for so many years. I'm not sure how the village of hope is run now, but it is a good idea and I just think they had the wrong people in the job - they needed professionals, not past Giant Grocery Store employees that not only had no idea about psychology or mental illness but also suffered their own issues that they took out on me. Without Deb getting involved, I could've ended back on the street and she made sure I was treated with respect and helped me out. My current experience with penn foundation has been mostly great because Deb's my therapist and my psychiatrist Dennis is truly a fantastic doctor who really cares and actually talks with you - he doesn't just do the two minute chat that you get with most psychiatrist, he really listens. I also remember Dr. Sofranco (spelling?) who may no longer be working there, I'm not sure, but he was the Best Psych doctor I ever met. So although in the beginning there were some problems, there were key people (like the Act Team) who cared way more than most professionals do and that's what makes this place stand apart. Yes, everywhere you go there are issues, but the pros are so tremendous at this point that the past cons really don't matter - they actually helped me grow a lot so at the end of the day, they did and continue to do their job. I know some gave bad reviews but I want to point out that some people are going through a lot when they get these services and they may not be able to even deal yet and end up not wanting to do therapy and blame the therapists. I just know that from experience and it's no one's fault, it's part of recovery and I hope they found the right help at the end of the day. It's really hard to own some things and deal with such extreme psychological distress, but with a place like this, if you give it time and have patience with the staff & yourself, I guarantee you will see improvement. They are professionals with a long history for the most part and they know what they are doing, especially now (I'm talking about over a decade of experience with this place). I recommend it. I especially applaud the Act Team as I never had such a courteous and understanding staff who helped with literally EVERYTHING and they help so many people that really need it and I just can't say enough about how awesome that program is. They are so innovative and different, with so many programs you can't find elsewhere, so it's really a cool place. And they also were so tremendously helpful with getting me set up with aid, with Libby H. being one of the most hardworking, dedicated and knowledgeable counselors I've ever met over my long psych experience, and the fact she helped me with the SOAR application was a life changing experience - Libby and Deb are lifesavers and are a tremendous reason why I'm alive today, clean for over a decade and have everything setup that I need. I couldn't have done it without them as I was a mess and they handled me with care and it was just amazing. And the staff I had issues with aren't even there anymore because I think my issues with them and others were seen and corrected - so this place also owns their mistakes and try to make it right, truly listen to the patients and trust them, and that's a rarity too.i just think if your thinking about going here, you should definitely do so because they will help you.

Penn Foundation saved my life and my sanity. I arrived in Pennsylvania penniless, traumatized and abused. 7 years later, I can say, as a direct result of the care, and programs provided me, I've become the person I always wanted to be. They have some of the best trauma, cPTSD programs available, utilizing the latest modalities. The social, life, and emotional support is solid.If you can get past the corporate overlords and administrative gatekeepers, you'll find some of the most professional and dedicated people to help you. The struggle between profit and care will always clash, as long as care is a for-profit business.Since St. Luke's takeover, the real-life version of Idiocracy's Brawndo Corporation, it's exacerbated the incompatibility. Be prepared for realms and realms of paperwork, releases, and rules. Grin and bear it, and know on the other side of the door, help is there for you.

I was slow to accept that I needed counseling. God truly knew my needs and Lavern became my counselor. I didn t know Christian counselors existed outside the church. I am so blessed that she is my counselor helping me through anxiety and grief I could not have been paired with a better counselor. Penn Foundation is lucky to have Lavern on their staff. 5 stars to Lavern you re awesome!!

Avoid this place if you can, take the longer ride, pay the extra cost if you must to go elsewhere, you ll be very happy that you did, incompetence from top to bottom here. You are not a patient, you are a paycheck. Your mental health will be much worse than it was before dealing with them.. gross negligence will leave you in a more fractured state than when you began. For your own sake, and your own peace of mind, look elsewhere for all of your mental health needs
