About St. Luke’s University Hospital – Bethlehem Campus

St. Luke's Psychiatric Associates is a nonprofit health facility. They work with adults who are seeking help for addiction and behavioral health concerns. When you sign up, you'll have partial hospitalization and intensive and traditional outpatient options. You'll find 'em located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) exists between inpatient and residential treatment and traditional outpatient care. Clients spend most of the day in treatment at the facility and return home at night. This highly structured and intensive program is ideal for those with severe symptoms. It may include individual, group, and family counseling, relapse prevention, education groups, and relapse prevention training.

Intensive outpatient program (IOP), a step down from PHP, requires clients to meet at the facility on a regular schedule to participate in treatment. IOP typically meets less often and for shorter sessions. Clients can transition into IOP from a higher level of care, but that isn’t a requirement.

The standard outpatient program is the lowest level of outpatient care with the most flexible schedule. It typically meets less often and for shorter sessions than IOP. You’ll have more independence and opportunities to reconnect with your loved ones and community.

In all tracks, you can partake in counseling and medication management. They’ll help you find the right balance between taking prescriptions to control pain and cravings without becoming too dependent on them. That way, there’s less of a chance for a relapse.

The St. Luke University Health Network works with private insurance, but doesn’t list any accepted carriers like Anthem, Beacon, BlueCross BlueShield, and Cigna. Clients are urged to confirm coverage before enrolling, as out of network benefits may vary.

Update 10/25/24 they said they would be following up and getting back to us but they still have not.Not happy with this place at all. We were advised to take our son to the emergency room after a routine eye exam because they saw something on the scans. We come to this place because the eye doctor told us to go to the emergency room and the doctor who saw my son said it wasn t an emergency, the doctor seemed a little sick that night because he was wearing a mask, and said there was no way they were bumping any other children who were in line to get an mri because it wasn t an emergency. So we went home thinking everything might be ok. We went to a neuro-ophthalmologist two days later and after that appointment he said your son needs to get to the emergency room. We told him (he was part of st Luke s as well wonderful man by the way) that we went to the emergency room and they said it wasn t an emergency and sent us home. He stated he was not happy about this and would be talking to st Luke s in Bethlehem about this. He then proceeded to tell my wife and I, what I need you to do then is go home pack a bag and get your son down to CHOP like right now. He needs scans. Do you have any idea how scary that was for me and my wife to hear that??? at one point you re thinking it s not an emergency and the next you re being told to take your child down to CHOP. Thank the good Lord we went to chop. They were absolutely wonderful and did scans tests exams etc. Now we received a bill for 250.00 for the ER from st Luke s for them doing nothing. We are not happy with them.

I can' say enough good things about my 17 day hospital stay recently. I landed in St Lukes Bethlehem after being transferred from St Lukes orwigsbug because of a horrendous fall down my steps. I had several fractured in my spine and broke several ribs. They discovered multiple blood clots in my lungs and heart also which they preformed a procedure immediately to remove the larger ones in my lungs. Everyone in Trauma /ICU were over the top with their timing and concerned care, keeping me informed and reassuring me. I stayed there for rehab and the physical care Doctor and her team was astoundingly prompt, cheerful and totally in my corner. They made my PT comfortable and fun. The nurses and their constant care were such a confort. I feel like I made many friends there. Even the food was delicious and the dietetary staff were out of their way to attend to my organic style of eating. This hospital is clearly different from what I have heard about others. My room was quiet and clean.The nursing staff was friendly and efficient. I never waited for meds,not never wanted for anything. I will be eternally grateful for their healing care. Thank you St Lukes! Keep up your deep care and healing of your patients.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabs specialize in providing comprehensive care for clients who choose to remain in their homes and communities during treatment. Their services may include transitional support for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient programming. Ambulatory medical detox may be provided for clients at low risk for withdrawal complications. Many programs include evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients who are working professionals or caregivers. Addiction counseling and life skills training are common treatment modalities.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services bring extensive experience to the planning and conducting of drug interventions in Pennsylvania. These experts can facilitate interventions in a sensitive manner that encourages positive outcomes. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about addiction and the consequences of their substance use and encourage them to get the treatment they need. Interventions can be effective with all types of drugs and alcohol addiction.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
Because the severity of withdrawal symptoms can fluctuate, constant monitoring under 24-hour clinical care in Pennsylvania is recommended for early recovery. As you undergo detox, medical staff will supervise your health and ensure severe symptoms do not develop or threaten your life. Professional counselors will also be available to treat mental and emotional health needs.

Treatments

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 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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

Family therapy teaches individual family members in Pennsylvania the benefits of collectively combating addiction. Therapists help individual members establish healthy boundaries between themselves and their loved one who is struggling with addiction. This helps improve emotional support systems and creates a bond so families work together to sustain long term recovery.

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.

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.

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.

I actually had a very enjoyable stay at this hospital. They stabilized 3 severe bone fractures in the leg I sustained in a high energy MVA nearby. The nurses were nice. Place was quiet and a lot less hectic than other hospitals. My relatives didn't like that the place seemed understaffed and I didn't really trust the doctor for continued care. I ended up transferring to another hospital, yet for the initial care, it was great.

Moeshe, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that your initial care was positive and that our nursing staff made your stay comfortable.
