About Pennsylvania Counseling Services – Pearl Street

They provide a drug and alcohol assessment. They will ask you questions about your drug and alcohol consumption and questions that will gauge if you have a mental health condition. You may also be given a drug test.

You will have the opportunity to participate in group and individual therapy sessions. If you are an adult who needs a high level of care then you will go into the intensive outpatient program in which you will come in for treatment several times a week. If you do not need such a high level of care then they will provide you with therapy once a week.

Group therapy sessions are age-specific. Adolescents have their own group and adults have theirs. Treatment for SUD includes many different kinds of groups including those that focus on coping mechanisms and those that deal with the effects of alcohol on your body.
They use contingency management for treating teens. This method rewards kids for good behavior.

A teen who has consistently clean drug tests and gets good grades may be rewarded with a gift card. A group of kids who participate in therapy and provide peer support to other kids may be treated to a movie night or a group dinner. Teens and some adults will also have family therapy sessions in which they can discuss their conditions with their loved ones.

I’m sharing my experience in hopes that it helps other families looking for the right support. Unfortunately, our experience with my daughter’s counselor here was not a good one. Throughout my daughter’s time in services, I often felt that the counselor fed into my daughter’s thinking instead of guiding her toward healthier perspectives or helping her build better coping skills. Rather than encouraging personal growth, responsibility, or balanced thinking, it felt like the counselor reinforced whatever my daughter said without considering the bigger picture or our family dynamics. As a parent, I want a provider who helps my child make better choices, process her emotions in a healthy way, and learn tools to move forward. Instead, I consistently felt dismissed, talked over, and pressured. When I voiced concerns or questioned decisions, I didn’t feel heard or supported. At times, I felt like the counselor used my daughter’s past struggles to push services or make me feel like I had no say in the direction of her care. The moment I made the decision to discharge and transition her to a provider who better aligns with our family’s values and needs, the lack of respect and support became even more obvious. No parent should feel guilted or intimidated for advocating for their child. I truly hope this feedback is taken seriously, because families need guidance, communication, and balanced support not reinforcement of unhealthy behaviors or added stress. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this facility.

I've been treated at this location for 4 years with multiple therapists and have always had a good experience. In regards to common complaints of it being "money hungry" this is the American healthcare system at it's finest. I also have Medicaid, so I've never had an issue with insurance or payments. I know when my partner wanted to start being seen even though their insurance was accepted it was not fully covered and it was costing $70 out of pocket. However, this is a common issue overall due to the American healthcare system. Once insurance began to cover costs they received a refund check for being over charged. My therapist also helped with resources to get them paying next to nothing to get back into therapy after being discharged due to not being able to afford it. With the therapist's help and resources they can now attend again, afford it, and got help getting accepted with state insurance. The receptionists have always been nice and friendly. Every therapist I've seen I've had a good experience with. One complaint I have is the high rate of staff leaving abruptly. Twice the therapist I was seeing left the company and I had to get transferred to a new counselor. This is completely due to their personal choices. I got transferred right away too. I began seeing the psychiatrist which was easy to get an appointment with help from my therapist at the time. She got me seen and evaluated and I began to see her for med management. It was a positive and quick experience and greatly helped me mentally and physically on my journey. I hope that everyone can find the support and help they need. Whether here or at another facility. I will be continuing to go to PA counseling services.

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.

Employee Assistance Program

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. PA Counseling offer intensive outpatient therapy for drug and alcohol abuse. The program is available for adults and adolescents.

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 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 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

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. PA Counseling offers specialized treatment for eating disorders, the treatment includes group and/or individual sessions.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
