Lake Ariel Recovery Center

About the Facility

Sanctuary at Cherry Hill is a medically proven and community driven recovery facility that provides comprehensive treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders. When attending Sanctuary at Cherry Hill, clients will establish life skills, implement daily routines for lifestyle recovery, and ignite a purpose for achieving better their lives. Through accomplishing these tasks, clients will achieve sustainable recovery.

Addiction is a force that moves individuals away from their initial value systems and falsely convinces them that they have no choice in their life. While attending Lake Ariel Recovery Center, the facility works to reframe clients’ mindsets and put the choice back in the hands of the individual. While most addiction treatment programs work to guide patients back to status quo, Sanctuary Health’s goal is to advance client’s lives past the baseline and improve their existence by directly integrating recovery treatment with daily life improvements. Through treatment, Lake Ariel Recovery Center seeks out where clients are discontent in their lives, which generally links to addictive tendencies. Once identified, the facility helps client’s improve aspects where they are struggling. Addiction destroys individual’s passion and commitment to life, Everlasting Recovery program gives clients their journeys and lives back. Everlasting Recovery provides patients the best opportunity to achieve sustainable recovery.

Sanctuary Health’s exclusive treatment approach, Everlasting Recovery, reframes each client’s mindset away from the false identity created by addiction. This happens by providing the tools and guidance to create a daily routine with recovery as a focal point. The facility provides this treatment at Lake Ariel Recovery Center, where we guide clients to adopt a recovery lifestyle by prioritizing everything within the context of recovery.

As is the norm with all of Sanctuary Health Group facilities, Ariel Recovery Center prides itself on individualized treatment programs that are composed around each client’s self-assessment, which is then shared with clinicians to develop a specialized treatment regimen to suppress addiction and adopt recovery as a permanent identity.

Through the Everlasting Recovery program, clients practice relapse prevention frequently. They re-assess themselves periodically throughout their treatment and beyond in order for clinicians to continuously determine the current effectiveness of the personalized treatment program and re-calibrate the approach if necessary to ensure the client has successfully adopted a recovery lifestyle into their daily practices.

The Family Program repairs the relationships that were strained by addiction. Lake Ariel Recovery Center includes family members in the recovery process through psycho-educational groups and wellness workshops as a way to re-connect a client to their family members.

As with all of the Sanctuary Health Group facilities, Lake Ariel Recovery Center is a private facility. They will utilize an individual recovery plan to empower their clients with the tools and vision that will provide sustainable recovery in their lives. They will give 100% effort in helping every Sanctuary Health client through the journey of recovery and challenge their patients to match that effort when approaching their treatment.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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 Addiction

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 Addiction

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 Abuse

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.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

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.

Medically 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.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. Through the Everlasting Recovery program, their clients practice relapse prevention frequently. They re-assess themselves periodically throughout their treatment and beyond in order for their clinicians to continuously determine the current effectiveness of the personalized treatment program and re-calibrate the approach if necessary to ensure the client has successfully adopted a recovery lifestyle into their daily practices

12-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.

Partial 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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Family Therapy

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. The Family Program repairs the relationships that were strained by addiction. Lake Ariel Recovery Center includes family members in the recovery process through psycho-educational groups and wellness workshops as a way to re-connect a client to their family members.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.
