About STR Behavioral Health – Silver Pines
Treatment includes a nutrition program and a variety of therapies such as yoga, wilderness, trauma and holistic therapy. They accept a variety of private insurances, and for alternative payment options, they work with M-Lend Financial. It is similar to taking out a loan for student loans but instead it would be for treatment.
When seeking treatment, medical detox may be most appropriate due to possible complications or impact of addiction and the effects it has on your body. You will be under medical supervision while you are here until you are stabilized and able to continue treatment in residential care. While you are in residency they will help you develop a treatment plan so you can get the best level of care and continue your healing.
Nutritional therapy will help you gain more clarity and knowledge on what foods and healthier lifestyle choices can benefit you. This can help with boosting energy, reducing chronic pain, strengthening your immune system, and helping lower the chances of illness.
Their holistic therapy focuses on your overall well being which includes your mind, body and spirit. Meditation breathwork, sound therapy, aroma therapy, reiki, wellbriety movement meetings and spiritual counseling are some of the therapies they use. What sticks out to me the most is the benefits to these therapies which help with stress management, reduce anxiety and depression, and strengthen your spiritual wellness. This can help you stay motivated with keeping up with self care and assists in helping you build up more resilience.

I attended twice, Great facility, however I’m on my wife’s UHC plan through her employer,not Medicare. No problem with insurance the first time I went, however (going the 2nd time) they are trying to say I’m on Medicare. I called UHC and nothing has changed in my coverage. Trying to charge me 15,000. What’s going on? Also once there ,they) Siver Pines) wanted out of pocket money(cash,Cc card) they never asked for that upfront either time. They even checked recorded call. I’m very dissapointed with billing. Put a “sour taste”on my experience
I'm truly happy and grateful that I got to come to Silver Pines. I had my reservations seeing as I don't suffer from substance use addictions but I chose to come here for my mental health. For the downsides: there's a 14 day blackout on personal electronic use unless you get approved for important things like calls, bills etc, but I needed that time to disconnect. You'll also be woken up in the middle of the night by the behavioral health techs doing their checks , and if you're unlucky you might get a roommate that's messy or snores. The BHTs truly do care about you and want to help you on your recovery journey, they've all been truly stellar to me, especially Will. The therapists are very compassionate and helpful in processing your issues, my thanks go to Alisha my personal therapist, Deidre, Zack and Jesus especially for helping me so much. The kitchen staff is full of hard workers who make great food and they're so kind, especially miss Dre, who cares a lot about your nutrition and if you have any dietary restrictions or eating disorders. Angie the janitorial worker is always working her butt off and I appreciate her so much. The nurses are bubbly and delightful and cared a lot for me, especially both Karens, when I was struggling to settle in. There's meaningful and helpful resources for helping yourself or those who struggle with SUDs, there's great aftercare as well with the alumni coordinator Jenn, and they're always willing to accept feedback and address any concerns you may have. My only complaint is that there's probably only 2-3 LGBTQ+ groups a week, which is a HUGE boon but may make it harder for those who aren't openly out to process their struggles with identity and their SUD/Mental health. Other than that, I'm hoping that if you or someone you love and care about needs help with any sort of addiction, you can come here. There's a truly loving community here who'll support you and share their hearts with you. Thank you Silver Pines for helping me on my recovery journey.
This is the best rehab I attended and has been my last. First time I even felt sad after leaving because I made so many great connections with staff, nursing, and the community. Cooks are extremely skilled and provide the greatest food you will get in rehabs. There is a desert and savory treat made every single night and theres always numerous snacks to pick from. The nursing staff is the greatest staff of all time they should honestly be awarded somehow. Everyone in the staff there is just amazing and they always foster a connected community. Counselors are super chill and knowledgeable about addiction and thoroughly aid you through the process. After the rough detox beds you are moved to the residential side. The Beds and Pillows on this side are super comfortable. They allow you to use your phones quite often and take care of emergencies through your phone typically without a problem. I could honestly go on forever talking about my amazing experience. If you need help please come here you won’t regret it for real.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
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.
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.
A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting. When detoxing from addictive substances, the physical and psychological side effects of withdrawal can cause mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout this process.
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.
Treatments
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.
Alcoholism is a syndrome of dependent alcohol use. Also called alcohol use disorder (AUD), the symptoms include craving alcohol, not being able to stop drinking, and feeling anxious or irritable when not drinking. For many people, alcohol rehab in Pennsylvania is a beneficial treatment. Programs offer many levels of care, including medical and behavioral therapies.
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 AddictionPrograms
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.
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.
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.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
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 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.
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.
Group therapy sessions in Pennsylvania offer you a safe space when you're struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. You can openly discuss your challenges and the progress you're making in rehabilitation. Sharing this responsibility with others in your group fosters a commitment to sobriety and helps create strong bonds with your peers.
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.
It is important to process the impact that traumatic experiences have had on your life. During trauma therapy, you and an experienced therapist confront these experiences and the emotional impact it is had. This helps to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety and improve your overall mental health and well being.
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.
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.
