About Avenues Recovery Center at Lake Ariel

Clients seeking treatment for alcohol addiction may be required to undergo detox first. The detox process ensures any abused substances are out of a client’s system and that they are in a healthy frame of mind when they enter residential treatment. Detox is overseen and closely monitored by medical staff.

The residential program takes clients out of their current living situation (and away from potentially dangerous environments and triggers) and places them in a secure and comfortable shared residence. The 40 bed unit is centered in a beautiful natural setting with recreational and outdoor amenities. Clients in the program are under close supervision.

Lake Ariel provides highly individualized care. Treatment may include individual therapy, group and couples counseling, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). The program also includes 12 Step programs and holistic art treatments.

Dual diagnosis care is specialized treatment for clients with both substance use disorder (SUD) and a second behavioral health diagnosis.

MAT is the use of prescription medication to reduce a client’s withdrawal symptoms while they are in a treatment program. Drugs typically used in MAT include Methadone and Suboxone.

Avenues Recovery Center accepts private insurance. However, they don’t list specific examples (like BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, and HCSC). Clients should confirm coverage before enrolling, as out of network benefits may vary.

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.

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

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.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

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.

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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

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

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.

mental-health iconMental Health And Substance Abuse

Pennsylvania's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs prioritize comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Providing various levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization, dual-diagnosis experts use evidence-based therapies, recovery support groups, and education to treat both disorders, promote mental health, and improve your quality of life.

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.

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.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

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.

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.

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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

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.

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.

Artistic talent is not required to participate in creative arts therapy. This form of rehab treatment in Pennsylvania simply allows you to try different art media and use the one that works best for you to express yourself. The goal is not to produce quality art but to use the creative process as an outlet for recovery.

Emotions that surface during experiential therapy can reveal how you've coped with situations in the past. A trained therapist will guide you through conversations about your emotions and reactions either during therapy or in a follow up session. Therapy may include activities such as equine therapy, wilderness therapy, martial arts, drama, music, or art.

Staff threw out my glasses, stole 2 of my hats and the director said my psychiatrist diagnosed schizoaffective disorder was a made up excuse to drink. Unprofessional and unwelcoming. Would give 0 stars if I could

Response from the owner
Hi Hank,

We're sorry to read this review. Although we are unable to address all of your complaints due to HIPAA restrictions, please know that our staff are all skilled, professional, and compassionate, and the majority are in recovery themselves. Staff would never, ever touch the property of clients without authorization, nor make offensive and unhelpful comments to them.
We wish you the very best of success in all of your endeavors!

Best,
The Avenues Team

I was impressed with everything at Avenues -- its small size that allowed for excellent individual care; the cleanliness and peaceful atmosphere of the facility; the warm staff both in person and on the phone, and the counselors. A big shout out to Lauren for her excellent counseling and responsiveness to me as a parent. From a parent perspective with experience at other well known recovery centers, I would highly recommend Avenues in Lake Ariel! Sending a big thank you to the Avenues team for their excellent care!

I have had a wonderful experience at this facility, the staff are amazing and genuinely care about the individuals that are here. The counseling has helped me so much and I am so grateful to all of them. I was upset with misinformation that was provided with on boarding but aside from that I have nothing negative to say. Give it a chance if you are someone in need of recovery

Avenues was the first treatment center Ive ever been to. After my first week, i was informed that my employer had terminated me and canceled my insurance. Cassie and Colleen then informed me that they will be giving me a scholarship and id be able to stay. A week before my discharge, they both informed me a gain that they had paid my cobra insurance from a foundation ran by cassie, and I would be able to continue my treatment at another facility. I highly doubt that Id be safe, sober and healthy if not for the both of them. All staff are great and groups were informative. The food was great and all of my needs were met beyond expectation. I highly recommend Avenues if you or someone you know are seeking treatment.

Avenues was absolutely amazing. The staff first and foremost exceeded any expectations, they were incredible and supportive throughout my entire recovery journey. It also was very comforting knowing some of them are in recovery as they can relate and have been in my shoes before. A special shout out to Tyler — She is genuine and and willing to help in anyway she can! The nursing staff was wonderful Jen, Victoria, Kena, Joliet and Mary Ann were so compassionate for my needs as I needed a lot of TLC. I was walking with a cane and ended up walking out without one! The food was great. The groups made me learn a lot about myself because of how engaging they are with yourself and the community. I am beyond grateful for my experience here. If you or someone you love is looking for a place that truly cares, this is it.
