Cornell Abraxas

About Cornell Abraxas

The Cornell Abraxas Group is located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This is an organization that provides drug treatment services to men and women navigating a drug, alcohol, or opioid abuse dependency.

Their services are offered in outpatient treatment settings, and the care team here also specializes in working with adults who have co-occurring mental health disorders.

Your care will be covered by most major insurance providers here, including Medicaid and Medicare. They also accept tribal insurance coverage, military benefits, and many other types of health plans. Sliding scale discounts are also available here.

Holistic Treatment Approach

There’s a strong focus on providing a holistic approach to recovery here, and this is done through individualized and highly customized treatment plans. You’ll work one on one with your counselor or therapist to outline different recovery goals you might have.

Your care team will help you explore different strategies and recovery approaches that will help you meet those goals.

Adult and Adolescent Programs

One of the aspects of care here that many past clients appreciate is their specialized treatment of both adults and adolescents. Children who are at risk or are exhibiting substance abuse behaviors will find age appropriate care and treatment approaches that will encourage them to reflect on the outcomes of drug addiction.

Their approach also provides a strong basis of substance abuse education so that children have a better understanding of substance abuse and what it means regarding long term outcomes.

Dedicated Opioid Addiction Program

Adults struggling with an opioid addiction will have access to the latest evidence based treatments and therapies that will help them work through these challenges. Linkage to community programs is also available here for more specialized support. This might include linkage to medication assisted treatment (MAT) or detox if you’re in the early stages of addiction recovery.

Other Forms of Payment

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

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

Programs

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.

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.

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.
