Best Orefield, PA Drug Rehab Centers

New Orefield facility is far, but there is a bus 5 out of 6 days and Sunday is closed so they supply a take home on Saturday as long as you have a lockbox. The new facility is a HUGE step up! It's very clean, big and beautiful! All new staff seem amazing and the few older staff who stuck around were always amazing. This is the place you want to be if you're ready to get your life back. Don't forget 1 second think it's going to be easy though...

I love the counselor Jill she's very positive and I learned a lot from her great place

Nothing but positive things in life since I started this program. Very thankful to all staff!

I won t be biased, since no experience at a psychiatric hospital is gonna be enjoyable. I spent 5 days at KidsPeace this October, and my time there was a little bumpy, but tolerable. When I first got admitted, I hated it and wanted to go home and disappear. I couldn t take phone calls to my family without crying. It definitely feels like a different planet. Most of the staff was respectful as long as you respected them, my peers were very very nice to me, and I even made some friends leaving. The food was average, and you do get time outside. School was very easy as well. The schedule is very strict, and you have no control of what time you eat, sleep, etc. Overall, nobody s gonna enjoy this experience, but I imagine it would have been a lot worse if it weren t with KidsPeace

Honestly, as a patient (14 at the time) I had a really positive experience. It’s been around 2 years since I’ve actually stayed, but I remember my stay like it was yesterday. I went in November of 2022 and I was there for 2 weeks. The unit I stayed in had really friendly staff, of course some were strict because they had to enforce rules. I think I was at the northwest unit, I didn’t personally experience any fights while I was there but I heard of fights happening frequently in other units. They made extra care to make sure you don’t feel like you’re alone and things will get better. The separation from normal society is actually what I needed, I couldn’t handle every day life, hence needing to stay at kidspeace. I actually made a few friends while I was in there which made it a lot more enjoyable. I started a medication (Zoloft, 25mg), which was just to give me a start to recovery, I knew I wouldn’t actually feel the effects until around a month after. A common misconception is that you don’t get a choice, medication was completely up to me and I wanted to start. They handled when you took the medication as well as when you ate and the activities you did, having others in control of my schedule made me feel at ease. It was a safe environment, we had fun activities such as making cheesecake, making slime, occasionally watching tv, seasonal crafts, and group therapy exercises. The sunsets were actually incredible there, I wish I had a phone to take pictures of it. I personally had my birthday while I was there, they made sure to make me feel like I was still being celebrated and cared for. They got me an ice cream cake and everyone made cards for me, I still cherish the cards to this day as a reminder of what got me here to this day. I cant speak for everyone, but kidspeace really did have a key role in my road to recovery, helping me build a routine, socialize, and start me on a medication. Mental hospitals aren’t an immediate solution, they are just a step forward. After returning home, I noticed I had intrusive thoughts much less and that I was no longer having panic attacks every day. Recently, I started struggling with the same paranoia and panic again since my stay. I will always remember how much kidspeace helped me and I know that if I ever need a safe space to regain normal function and get back a normal routine, that I can put my trust in kidspeace like I did then. Thank you kidspeace for helping me when I was at my lowest <3 -Gabrielle Sanders now 16 years old

(I'm on my mom's account posting on my behalf.) My name is Zoe, I'm 14 years old. I just left KidsPeace on November 7th, My stay was a couple of weeks, here are some pros and cons that I've experienced. Pros: •Very friendly staff •Mr. Matt, my clinician, was very nice. •I Made a couple of friends while I was in there. •The food was generally tasty and somewhat average. •The teacher, Miss. Jill, was very accepting and nice. •The family session that I had in my clinician's office was longer than the 5-6 minute phone calls. Cons: •5-6 minute phone calls. •While I was there, physical fights happened against other peers, not with the staff, but the teens there fought very often. •Short-staffed at times. •No actual mattress to sleep on. (it's like a school gym pad.) •Some staff are very strict. •Transitions to another task or place take a lot of time. Generally, I behaved fine, followed the rules, and got Zoloft for my depression and anxiety. It got really hectic for most of my stay, but ignoring how the other clients acted, it was okay for the most part.
