About Gaudenzia – Women and Children Program

The residential program at Guadenzia for women and children focuses on keeping the family together and allows women to know their children are safe while they undergo treatment. This program offers a high-intensity and a low-intensity residential treatment track, which is dependent on each person’s unique situation and goals. Childcare is available.

Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long-term sobriety is achieved.

Medication Assisted Treatment provides medications along with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and behavioral counseling. FDA approved medications are used to support withdrawal from opioid drugs and to help maintain long-term abstinence. By combining medication with mental health treatment, a greater chance of success is achieved for long-term abstinence.

If you want to get help. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!. 3 children, including a newborn, got RSV. It's disgusting, roach infested. Residents Actively relapse. The staff will talk about you and spread your business. The Child care there is disgustingand the child care staff just sit there all day long. You children will be left in there poopy pissy diapers, and honestly neglected. The director is corrupt. The last thing she said to. Me was "she's just going to end up in a mental hospital." DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Still haven't, BTW. I left on a Friday they said I have 7 days to pick up my things and on the next Friday the 7th day was told that I actually left on a wensday and the staff disposed of my things but didn't know where they put them at. There were only 4 staff members at the time. I was then contacted by a resident in winners that the other woman stole all of mine and my unborn daughters things. DO NOT COME HERE! I was heartbroken. I went back about a week ago to see if they could give me my username and password to my PA compass account so I could get some of my medicle records because I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and it would be beneficial to have THOSE FEDERAL RECORDS. Since then, I've still remained clean. I paid rent and basically done everything they said I couldn't. If you want to do good and take treatment seriously and want a better future for your children, DO NOT COME HERE!!! The groups are not good. The therapists are decent, but staff are constantly leaving and quitting, so I don't know how they would be now. It took almost 2 months just for them to get me my ID. They have no hygiene products. They lack resources. There is no structure. Your kids will be bored and not taken care of. It it very corrupt. Unfair. Dishonest. What I got out of there is that not everyone who works with people is good or even decent with working with people. I hope that the women I was there with got their lives the way they want/need/deserve. And their children too. I still cry that they let the women steal my daughters things. And that the director did not actually care about me or my daughter. The womab treats this place like jail even though it's a place of healing. Constant realapses, and it's actually disgusting. I wanted to leave the second i went there. Only . I'm heartbroken, and I wish that there was more that I could do to change the way that program MEANT TO HELP WOMEN AND CHILDREN be better and more beneficial. At the end of the day, if you want/need/ and have to have help for sobriety. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!

Accepted Insurance

Gaudenzia – Women and Children Program 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

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

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.

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

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

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Infested with mice and bed bugs. Counselors are not certified and are mentally and emotionally abusive to clients and their children. Women seeking help have a greater chance of relapse when entering this program.
