About Ponessa Behavioral Health

Ponessa Behavioral Health is a drug and alcohol rehab located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. They treat people of all ages for substance use disorder with a focus on opioid use. They also treat people with dual diagnosis. They take private insurance and self pay. They also accept PerformCare and other forms of medical assistance.

Everyone gets a full assessment when they enter the facility. They will ask you a series of questions about the frequency of your substance use and the emotions that cause you to want to use substances. Not everyone is accepted into the program. You must want to understand addiction and be committed to recovery. You must also be willing to participate in a peer support group.

They have a collaborative system of therapy here. You and your therapist will work together to make your treatment plan. You will also have a case manager who will meet with you regularly to determine your progress.

They treat all clients with individual therapy and group therapy. The staff can provide you with medication assisted treatment if you need it. Family sessions are required for children and adolescents and are often involved in the treatment of adults.

They have several levels of care. They offer a partial hospitalization program in which clients come in for treatment all day. The next level down is an intensive outpatient program that lets you come in several times a week for a few hours a day. They also offer a standard outpatient service in which you will come in once or twice a week for treatment.

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.

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.

Heart icon Treatment

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

TW Ponessa canceled my 9am without notifying me. They claim I don't have insurance, although I do. This is an incredibly irresponsible business practice, especially dealing with mental health patients. You should be ashamed

This place is worthless. They'd rather see a child go hungry than find immediate availability. Aren't places like this supposed to help you with your mental health not add to it?

The place is always clean and all of the people that work there are always so nice weather on the phone or in person.I feel so comfortable with my doctor and would recommend the service they provide for anyone who feels like they are alone or need someone for guidance in their life.

Mikalia is the best! In fact, she s the best psych doctor I have ever had in my life. She is not only understanding and kind; she is very knowledgeable and I always leave learning some tidbit to improve my anxiety and general mental health. What is really remarkable about her is she takes the time to get to know you and remembers to follow up on things that we spoke about in our last session. Since seeing her, she has been encouraging, supportive and provides the right medication ( making adjustments as needed). I am in the best mental health I have been in a very long time and I contribute most of this to her. Highly recommend - 10 out of 10!
