Brookdale saved my life. They don’t just take you through detox. I received mental health counseling, education about my disease, and tools to help me stay sober for life after rehab. I encountered nothing but love and support from the staff and my fellow patients. Thank you!

I first went to Brookdale in the summer of ‘21 and i skated through and did not really care about the program. I was there to appease people to get them off my back. I shortly relapsed. I went back to Brookdale May 22-July 1st, 2025 with a whole different mindset. Out of the high number of rehabs i have been to, this was the one time that I actually put the work in that I needed to do. I was encouraged to participate and get completely honest with things that have happened in my life, which I wholeheartedly did. I dove into groups I never wouldve done in the past. I immersed myself into unity, dharma, SMART. I utilized every single person in that building like they were my own therapist, and not one single person had a problem with it. Brookdale, in my opinion , has changed my life and I am at the point in my life where I do not want to go backwards. I would just like to thank all of the staff , Rick, Tony, Danielle, Amy, Matt Delp, Lindsay, Drew, Dave, Emma, Gigi, Angel, Keri, WYATT, the kitchen staff (Sam, Miss Lorraine, Grace), Ms. Cynthia, the nurses (Jillian, Scott, ZILLAH, Debbie, Stephanie, Doc C, Krista) Receptionists Carol, Tammy, Ms. Cynthia. Josh and Bob. Everyone was amazing. I recommed to anyone who is seeking help!

Accepted Insurance

Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need

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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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 rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Incorporating recreational therapy into drug and alcohol addiction programs in Pennsylvania helps you rebuild your life and maintain sobriety by discovering new interests and developing healthy coping mechanisms. Recreational activities can include painting, team sports, and hiking to promote physical and mental health.

Two nicotine replacement therapy medicines have been approved by the FDA. Bupropion decreases cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Varenicline reduces the urge to smoke and the enjoyment you get from cigarettes. Nonprescription therapies include gum, patches, and lozenges.

This place is magical. I can’t say enough about it. From the top all the way down, there isn’t a soul in that place that doesn’t care with every ounce of their hearts about each and every resident to walk through those doors. I walked in those doors lost, and I walked out with a chance, a glimpse at who I was before the destruction- and that’s all I could ever ask for. Amy, Matt, Josh, Katie, Rick, Susan, Tony, Pat, John, Janet, Sloane, Kerri, Mariela, Jensen, Emma, Jen, Marley, Wyatt, Bob, Miss Cynthia, the entire nursing staff and PA, Doc (and any and all people I missed) are actual miracle workers. The facility is gorgeous, the food is great, even the kitchen staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. I owe this place for another chance at life- the only way I can ever repay them is by getting another day clean. Thank you Brookdale.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the amazing care I received at this Brookdale. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome, supported, and understood. They are not just professionals; they genuinely care about your recovery and well-being. What truly stood out to me was the education I received about addiction. They didn’t just focus on the physical aspects of recovery—they helped me understand addiction as a disease. This was a pivotal part of my journey. I learned about the psychological and emotional triggers, the patterns that lead to relapse, and the pathways formed in the brain. With this knowledge, I was able to approach my recovery with a much clearer and more compassionate mindset toward myself. My counselor Danielle was exceptional. She took the time to truly get to know me, listen to my concerns, and help me dig deep into the core issues that had been affecting my life. It wasn’t just about getting sober; it was about understanding the “why” and to get started on healing within. The aftercare planning was equally impressive. My case worker Costa made sure I had all the resources and support I needed to maintain my progress once I left. I felt set up for success. I truly owe my life to this place. It’s not just about recovery; it’s about rebuilding a future. I’m excited and hopeful for what lies ahead, thanks to the incredible work they did with me. I can’t recommend them enough.

I recently was a resident at Brookdale for the month of March. I went in not knowing what to expect. From the moment I got there, I was welcomed with open arms. From the doctor and nurses on-site to the counselors and staff everyone was beyond helpful and there for you. My counselor was Susan, who was absolutely amazing during my stay and very professional keeping in contact with my wife. Tony and Rick are two names I'll never forget. Their constant words of encouragement. Striving to make you better through teaching, stories, and just letting you know they relate and are there for you. Also, reminding you that sometimes laughter is the best medicine. Andrew is just a book of knowledge. If you're lucky enough to get time with him take advantage of it. Matt is also a book of knowledge and there for you. Does a wonderful job on family day to make loved ones feel invited and optimistic. The campus is amazing and the beds are extremely comfortable. Overall an amazing place that will always have a special place in my heart.

Brookdale was glimpse of hope that brought me out of a personal hell. I had given up. With a family that loved me I felt trapped by my addiction and pushed them away. They still supported me going here and I thank God every day that I went. The staff the system and the soul of this place worked for me. I feel excited about life again. I am in recovery and I stay humble and hungry for more. The promises are real they dont come over night or when expected but they come. I'm excited to share my experience, strength, and hope with others. I know when I'm down I have people to call and Brookdale gave me the self worth to pick up the phone. I hope if this message reaches someone who feels trapped, defeated, lost, and not worthy of love hear this. This place reminded me who I was without Alcohol and drugs, and allowed me a way to be me again. Today thats more than enough for me, Derek

This place changed my life! The counselors actually care and go to any lengths to make sure they make a change in your life. I didint know if I was ready to stay sober when I walked in, was at the lowest place ive ever been spiritually. I walked out of there finally able to say “I love my self and I’m ready to stay sober”. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! If you’re ready to stay sober this is the place to go.

I was obviously nervous about going into treatment for my first time. I quickly realized I was surrounded by staff that cared and could relate to my struggles. I had a great counselor, Phil, who immediately started my recovery and aftercare plan within the first two weeks of me being there. My case manager, Stephanie, was an absolute dawg on the phone dealing with the FMLA company so I did not have to worry about my job. Staff members would meet with me individually if I ever had concerns or questions about recovery (shout out to Rick and Pat) The facility is nicely kept and in a quiet area. You get your own cabin with a roommate with plenty of privacy for the both of you! Food selection is great and will accommodate if you do not like what is being served. They keep the schedule pretty routine but everyday is a little different. They offered me a variety of recovery programs to choose from with AA, NA, Smart, and Dharma. Overall my experience was life changing. Brookdale has set me up for success in my recovery journey and stress the importance of staying connected!
