I felt safe the minute I arrived. The staff was friendly, caring, concerned and understanding. The grounds looked exactly like the brochure. The therapy and counseling put me in the right direction towards deeper healing. I miss the structure and balance they gave me but I'm using the tools I learned to stay on track and hope to visit as a speaker some day.

This rehab is very manipulative towards your spouse, parents, and family members. They act like brookdale is much better than it actually is compared to other rehabs. They allow zero phone or laptop even if it is absolutely necessary. You are only allowed 30 minutes per week on a landline at set times. The staff treated me like I was going fail since I didn’t do anything as planned. Counseors do not provide their phone number when you leave as if you are being thrown into the real-world with no contacts after a massive change. The no tv or internet for 30 days set me up for failure when I got home to my own devices since I was so used to living without it once it was reintroduced I only watched tv and used phone cause you know were addicts. Nursing staff is great and counselors were okay but corporate’s mandates suck; also, youre not even allowed to speak to the other gender which I found very strange. Please beware of admitting yourself here. A much better place ive been too community wise, nursing staff wise, ammenities and food, phone time usage, and reasonable emergency calls is called Silver Pines its not in a great area but it is an amazing place. Good Luckk!

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.

I spent 18 days at Brookdale Recovery, and while the location offers beautiful scenery, my experience with the facility was disappointing. The organization was severely lacking, with delays of up to three hours for medications due to only one medication cart serving over 100 individuals. The level of professionalism and respect displayed by the two CEOs, Matt and Amy, was also concerning. They appeared dismissive of patients' personal needs and were unprofessional in their interactions. Throughout my stay, I had to repeatedly advocate for basic services, including ensuring bills were paid and arranging phone calls with my legal team. The CEOs seemed to exert their authority without considering the well-being of the residents, and their lack of psychological credentials was evident. Overall, my time at Brookdale Recovery was far from satisfactory, and I would not recommend it.

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!

Response from the owner
We are overjoyed to hear about your transformation and commitment to recovery. Your dedication to the program truly made the difference.
