Whether you’re seeking treatment for your child or yourself, they also provide access to referrals to help in addressing both mental health issues and substance use disorders.
Trauma-Informed Family Workshops
Unique to their program are the trauma-informed, family and individual-focused workshops. In their programs, you’ll learn about how trauma can affect your brain, and how to address those effects through changes in routines and coping skills.
They will also provide guidance on how the effects of trauma can impact your behavior and different methods to recognize your typical reactions to trauma. Through this workshop, Laurel Life assists you in reprogramming your brain’s response through effective self-awareness techniques.
Non-Traditional Community-Based Services

It’s also good to know that services for this program are free and funded by the State.
Multiple programs allow for both parent and child to receive healing therapy and treatment at Laurel Life and through referral services to grow as a family rather than continue to break apart.
Additional referrals into their programs can be made by you if you’re referring your child for care, self-referring, participating in treatment on your own, or by other medical professionals who have seen and treated you or your children in clinical settings.
At Laurel Life, their top priority is focused on family wellness and making sure therapy and intervention are provided to you and your child, when needed. They also ensure that you are prepared for continued treatment in order to ensure your family is on the right path for healing together.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
