The PA Treatment & Healing Halfway House provides inpatient
non-hospital substance abuse rehabilitation services 24-hours a day,
seven days a week. The Halfway House specializes in adolescent
and young adult males ranging in age from 15 - 20 with a diagnosis
of psychoactive substance dependence, abuse or co-occurring
diagnoses. The average length of stay is six months, but is ultimately
based upon the resident's desire to make progress in achieving their
goals.
Admission
Criteria:
No resident shall be
discriminated against on the basis of race, color, age, ethnicity,
religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital
status, disability or handicap.
Treatment is offered to residents who have a history of abusing
substances, being dependent upon them and those who have completed a
pre-residential stay.
The ASAM/PCPC assessment (if applicable) must indicate a halfway
house as the appropriate level of care.
All residents must have no overt psychosis.
Residents will be accepted from any geographic location.
The
PA Treatment
& Healing Halfway House
is committed to providing integrated, culturally
sensitive mental health and substance abuse treatment. The
therapeutic approach used at the Halfway
House
focuses on group
and individual therapy. The residents receive a minimum of ten hours
of treatment per week. The Halfway
House maintains a resident to counselor ration of 6:1.
Our treatment program also involves family
therapy, if deemed appropriate. The
PA Treatment & Healing Halfway House
model draws
from a variety of clinical models and theories, which includes, but
is not limited to, a Cognitive Behavior approach with an emphasis
placed on relationships through
Relationship-based Cognitive Behavioral Theory of Counseling. The Halfway
House
recognizes substance use as one part of a complex
issue requiring a comprehensive strategy to ensure lasting change.
Therapy targets multiple risk factors while focusing on co-occurring
mental health distress, trauma, and family conflict.
The
reason for the organization's success and growth is our ability to
identify and treat at the deepest level. We understand that the root
of a resident's issues comes from unresolved offenses that cause a
negative impact on their thoughts, feeling, and actions.
