About White Deer Run of Allenwood

White Deer Run of Allenwood is uniquely positioned in the tranquil setting of the Bald Eagle State Forest in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. This addiction treatment center, situated on 150 acres, will take you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and provide a safe and relaxed natural environment where you can focus on your recovery. It primarily treats adult men and women.

When you’re not spending time admiring the mountains you can expect to receive detoxification services before enjoying a residential treatment program that caters to your unique substance abuse recovery goals. Your care is handled by multidisciplinary teams of professionals like physician assistants, medical doctors, nurse practitioners, therapists and counselors.

If needed you can also request gender specific treatment. Some people cope better in a healing environment with the same gender, and at Allenwood you can benefit from this. During gender specific programming you can expect to undergo experiential therapies, family therapy and group and individual therapy, alongside thorough discharge planning.

Many who have spent time at this center agree that their specific needs and strengths were addressed. This gave them the best chance at long term sobriety, and you can look forward to the same treatment.

With this center’s support you have the tools needed to build an addiction free foundation that promotes long term recovery, so speak with your insurance to determine if you have coverage. Most major insurers are accepted, including United Healthcare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna. However, if you do not have coverage you might be able to arrange a payment plan, so speak with the rehab center to determine your options.

I was just there in Sept 2024, detox part wasn't so bad, but when they send you to the other part that's when they wake you up at 6:00 am and they lock you out of the room for approximately 12 hours, you have a alot of roll calls, and couple meeting a day not lasting a hour for each meeting. So majority of day you sit out side smoking cigarettes. Some counselors were nice, but them employees were so unorganized, you barely could make 1 phone calls a week. I am glad that I went and got out of it what I could, definitely never going back. Overall, it was not a good experience at all.

Accepted Insurance

White Deer Run of Allenwood works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Community Care
Fidelis Care

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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
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 icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Individuals in the co-occurring disorders track will receive individual and group therapy designed to build skills and increase knowledge of their co-occurring disorders.

Programs

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.

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.

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.

Groups are a fundamental component of treatment at White Deer Run of Allenwood. Six structured activity groups are offered each day, seven days per week, while small groups and mental health groups are offered four times per week. Groups provide a chance for individuals to support and be supported by others while learning from each other’s experiences. Structured activity groups are led by technicians, case managers, and counselors, and the small groups and mental health groups are led by a counselor.

Individual therapy provides an opportunity for participants in the residential rehabilitation program to receive support and process issues that have emerged during the course of treatment. At their rehab center, individual therapy is provided at least once per week depending on each individual’s needs.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Family therapy: Families can often be a strong source of first-line support for women who are struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. As a result, counselors at our rehab center provide weekly family therapy services for participants in our program.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

I can HONESTLY tell you that the detox program is phenomenal , there is a counselor named HOPE she saved my life. The intake staff and nurses were also incredible , but after you get through the detox and move to the other part of the program it's all downhill.. SADLY I say this , because so many people still need that help but unfortunately it wasn't there .. BY GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY I HAVE REMAINED SOBER , WITH THE LORD IN MY LIFE I KNOW ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.. ANYONE READING THIS GOD BLESS YOU AND YES YOU CAN RECOVER AND TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE...

I was at WDR quite a few times back in early 2000's, partly because I wanted to b normal but I was just too young and not ready. I loved it there, the food was amazing. There were these little old ladies that made the best pancakes, I ran around playing hackysack, frisbee and horse shoes. I had to go back one last time around 2016 and it wasnt as awesome. The food was horrible, BRING BACK THE LITTLE OLD LADIES!

I was at WDR about 7 yrs ago on the dual diagnosis unit for women. I had the worst experience ever there. I went in to detox first I was only there about 3 days before they sent me to the rehab unit i wasnt even completely out of withdrawal The window's were nailed shut in all the rooms, you had to leave your room every morning very early and were not allowed back in until about 9 or 10 at night. All they had to sit on all day while locked out of your room were hard plastic chairs...some patients were at group nodding out clearly high out of their minds on opiates or as I was told subs which were clearly being abused one of the male staff slept with a female patient. And another female got pregnant while in detox. The food was TERRIBLE and you are not allowed food or drink except for 3x a day in the dining hall (besides the junk they sell at there hole in the wall store) u would not recommend going here at all
