About Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center

The residential program is intended for clients ages 4 and older. Depending on your age group, you’ll have a specific track. In all programs, you’ll have therapy, but teens ages 14 and older, along with adults, may be eligible for electroconvulsive therapy. If you’re still in school, they’ll coordinate your care with your educators so you won’t fall behind. The behavioral health department may coordinate your care with other hospital branches, including surgery and primary care, if needed.

When you complete the inpatient program, you’ll downscale to an outpatient program. There are different options, depending on your condition. A day program is available to adults along with an eating disorder track for kids and teens. In contrast, a more traditional outpatient program provides cognitive behavioral therapy and classes to manage your anger and stress. Specific options include anxiety and sleep medicine for children and a geriatrics course for seniors.

Holy Spirit has a wide range of services. However, several past clients have left mixed reviews. Check out their feedback to make sure it’s a good fit for your needs.

One year old granddaughter was brought in after having a seizure and briefly unconscious, by ambulance. After running blood test with abnormalities and urine with abnormalities, they gave her Tylenol and Motrin for a low grade fever and sent her home. No further testing or observation. Never again will we step foot in that hospital. Would have gotten the same care at an urgent care clinic. They couldn’t even come up with a carton of milk for her bottle.

Accepted Insurance

Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center 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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to focus solely on their sobriety away from the stressors of the home and workplace. Clients receive housing, food, and intensive clinical supervision. They also typically engage in multiple addiction counseling sessions each week, including daily individual, group, and/or family sessions. Most programs also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training, including courses in relapse prevention. Many facilities offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services bring extensive experience to the planning and conducting of drug interventions in Pennsylvania. These experts can facilitate interventions in a sensitive manner that encourages positive outcomes. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about addiction and the consequences of their substance use and encourage them to get the treatment they need. Interventions can be effective with all types of drugs and alcohol addiction.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you can participate in intensive rehabilitation treatment with the ability to return home at the end of the day. For a weekly minimum of 20 hours, a partial hospitalization program can take place up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. During PHP treatment, you can receive relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting. When detoxing from addictive substances, the physical and psychological side effects of withdrawal can cause mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout this process.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients engaged in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) live and work in their home community while receiving frequent, high-level care. These programs offer personalized care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, but high-risk clients and those in early recovery may receive up to 20 hours of care weekly. IOP services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as massage.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

In Pennsylvania, substance abuse treatment programs can help address addiction and any co-occurring mental health problems. These programs incorporate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychoeducation to help you uncover the underlying causes for your substance use and develop new skills to help you manage stress and overcome future triggers which may challenge your sobriety.

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

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.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Two star because it is clean and staff is friendly. The nurses are friendly care assistants are fantastic, one in particular is my holy grail. But zero stars because the drs are dismissive, don’t listen and it saddens me. Why keep me if you’re just going to end up telling me in all in my head when there’s literal physical evidence it’s not. It’s absolutely frustrating!

Next to no communication in this hospital. My family member was given pain drugs and antibiotics for blood clots and external lung inflammation for 2 days. Nether did anything and my family member was in excruciating, body cunvulsing pain the entire time - nearly died. Finally the specialists came in and got things right. Not saying all the nurses and doctors are to blame (some were very uncaring however) but there is simply next to no communication or organization or seemingly knowledge outside of a select few, and the specialists. Very sad.

Giving 2 stars because the facility is very clean, and modern. The nurses are respectful but both times I have been here the doctors did not listen at all. This is not a new condition for me and I know how to treat it. Yet, they sent me home in extreme pain. Took over 2 hours to discharge both times. The medicine I was prescribed did not work, when I called to ask for the correct kind I was told someone would follow up, 7 days later and nothing. Slow place all around.

I'm a retired 20 year Army veteran, there are many who can attest to my moral ethics,honesty and character, including numereous Generals active and retired and the current Secretary of Defense. Penn State Emergency room was outstanding, I did not have to wait. The several ER doctors that attended me kept me well informed and were professional, they were all excellent Doctors. I was informed they wanted to check me in as a patient to confirm if my issue was heart related or muscular and nerve. I was in agreement. I was an inpatient from 30 July until 1 August. On the floor the staff and doctors were professional and caring. The two Neurosurgeons I saw on my last day were excellent. They gave me a lot of info concerning my condition and a way forward to manage my pain or eliminate it. I highly reccomend a pay raise to keep those 2 excellent neurosurgeon doctors. I almost gave 5 stars. Now on toward what I did not like, they kept me woke throughout the night until morning taking blood and my blood pressure approximately every 3 to 4 hours. One night they took my blood pressure at 12 PM than the young man came into the room at 4 AM and hollered loudly to wake up! It's time to take your blood pressure! Keep in mind I was hooked to a heart monitor. The severe lack of sleep from them waking me every 3 to 4 hours, the medication, hospital enviroment and the pain from my issue kept my blood pressure very high, restful sleep is important to a lower blood pressure reading. Now at home my pressure is way below 130. The second issue is Dr.S who was the floor doctor informed me that he would put in writing that I was in pain and It could affect me not being able to work on some days but instead he wrote no restrictions,I believe he felt due to my job being a desk job it wasn't required, I complained so he changed it to I may need frequent breaks for 1 week due to pain. My supervisor had already approved me to work from home for a longer period because he knows I would not not lie about my pain and how the numerous medications would affect my alertness. I just wanted to see if Dr. S was a man of his word and if he sterotyped me. In addition some members of the staff including Dr.S was under the impression that I could not leave the hospital under my own free will. Federal and State law states no hospital can illegally forcibly hold any patient unless they are mentally incapicitated or physically unable to walk with some other exceptions that would not apply to me or most independent patients, a patient that want to leave immediately would receive an AMA discharge, even though I was discharged I stayed to get xrays done and planned to leave from there, the patient transport that took me to get my xrays told me that I could not leave from the radiology department even though I had my discharge papers and if I did security would forcibly take me down and bring me back. He claimed it happened numerous times in the past. He stated it was the hospital policy. He had refused to take me in a wheel chair but instead insisted on rolling me in a bed that was used many times without changing the sheets plus I was able to walk and prefered the wheel chair that was available. His comment gave me the impression I was being forcibly detained against my will as if I was a criminal. It was if I was not paying them for professional medical service. If there was an attempt to forcibly keep me by security especially with my muscular disc issue and pain than I would have levied criminal charges and sought out the best lawyers which I can afford for a major lawsuit against the hospital and I would have contacted the Senator and VA Affairs at the congressional level for mistreatment of a retired honorably served veteran. I almost gave 3 stars because of this but the ER doctors, most of the staff and the 2 Neurosurgeons were of excellent caliber. Holy Spirit need to retrain the staff on patient release in accordance with the law or change their policy before some of their staff have criminal charges levied against them and they receive a huge lawsuit.

Response from the owner
First, we appreciate and thank you for your 20 years of service in the Army and for your dedication to our country.

Waa told by the Pennsylvania Dept of Health and the VA Hospital to go there for community care, for a rabies vacation ASAP. Showed up a little before 8am there were 2 people in the waiting room . Checked in , and vitals were taken. Ended up being there for 3 hours, never saw a doctor and no communication on approximate wait time or anything. Just sat there, saw maybe 4 or 5 other patients come in and taken back all other patients were walk ins . They seemed very slow in my opinion too slow to not have someone at least come and communicate the issues causing the delays . So I left. Drove over an hour to the veterans hospital in Lebanon. Walked in maybe 8 patients in their waiting room. Was seen by a doctor in like 5 minutes, and had all the vaccinations and in my vehicle in under an hour. If you have a serious injury or things to do I strongly recommend any other hospital than Holy Spirit.

Nurses and staff were doing their best.They were wonderful as they worked in very tight quarters. However in my 4 day stay there was no hot water to my floor all 4 days. The room got very stuffy when the door to the hall was closed. With a central return in the halls the required air exchanges can't be made. I ran mechanical services at a college until I retired. We would have found and repaired a failed hot water return loop problem in one or at tops two days.

Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that our nurses and staff made a positive impression during your stay. We apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the hot water and room ventilation.
