i realized i got away with not eating here, so i didn't. maybe its my fault, but having a nurse tell someone "you dont have to eat, just at least grab food" is a big red flag. this place only made me sicker.

1) I called my the Patient Advocate twice, having to leave a message. No response at all. 2) After evaluated by Doctor, Caseworker & County was told I could go home on Saturday afternoon.Medical Director declined and made me stay overnight. I bet for more money. 3) There was a long black hair in my 2 small pancakes. Kitchen Staff are not require hair nets just ball caps. Gross. 4) I asked if I could get a sanitized cloth to wipe my table at dinner. None of the tables were wiped and were disgusting. Techs refused. I stood up to eat and was sent back to unit with out eating. Had to throw food away. 5) 80% of Techs are rude, treat you mean, and like you are a bother. 6) I am diabetic and was kept on a regular diet. After 2 days my blood pressure tanked due not eating and not enough access to water. You had ask at nurses station every time. Then they would not give me needed meds because THEY caused me to have low blood pressure. 7) | was afraid after a psychotic patient started screaming at lunch - loud, foul language, smacked the table, and knocked his chair really hard. 8) | asked for more protein not salty stuff they served. I ate grilled cheese for 3 days minus the day I was not allowed to eat. 9) After 3 days of getting a small peanut butter- the next meal an old crank server did not want to give to me. Old crank acted like she owned the food personally and the peanut butter was gold. 9) If you need help this is not the place to go. There is no one on one therapy, they do not change your meds, and they do not give a rip about you. Actually refused to give me anxiety meds twice as THEY had made my blood pressure tank so low. 10) | lost 7 pounds in less than 3 days. Not the way you want to do it. 11) There are no clocks. Normally Techs bring in buckets to shower. One Tech screamed at my roommate & I. We were dead asleep. "Are you going to breakfast? She was very rude and scared the crap out of us. 12) I would not send a pet rock to this place. 13) They INSIST on washing your clothes and you get to prance around in a paper top and bottom. No bra. THEN they wonder why you do not participate in group. I looked right at Dr. Karadel - would you want to wear this. 14) I am reporting this place to all available agencies. I feel bad for the patients that do not have an advocate or cannot advocate for themselves.

This place is filled with abusive staff members. Beware of Dr. Braxton Baker. The man is rude and incompetent and should never have been permitted to treat patients! I never once met with my assigned social worker, but she was quick to accuse me of things when I tried to transfer into another program. One nurse Natasha screamed at me as did Dr. Baker. They did not properly read the forms I came in with, and so they illegally kept me there for an additional day. When I pointed it out, he screamed at me and forced me to sign a form saying I consented to the extra day in order to leave. UPDATED TO ADD THAT TOWER HEALTH EMAILED ME TO ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION SHORTLY AFTER I POSTED THIS REVIEW AND THEY NEVER FOLLOWED UP AFTERWARD.

Accepted Insurance

Tower Behavioral Health & Addiction Treatment works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Humana

Magellan Health

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

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.

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.

Treatments

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.

If you have a mental health condition and an addiction, it is critical to address both conditions simultaneously. If you only address the mental health disorder, you'll likely continue to use drugs or alcohol, which can make your mental health issues even worse. On the other hand, if you only address the addiction, you won't have the tools to cope with your mental health disorder in a healthy way.

Programs

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.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

Group therapy sessions in Pennsylvania offer you a safe space when you're struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. You can openly discuss your challenges and the progress you're making in rehabilitation. Sharing this responsibility with others in your group fosters a commitment to sobriety and helps create strong bonds with your peers.

Personalized therapy sessions in Pennsylvania typically include a safe and nonjudgmental setting in which you can express your deepest emotions and feelings and explore the factors that have contributed to addiction. Therapists tailor the sessions to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, which improve your self control and build a foundation for your long term sobriety.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Pennsylvania can be helpful to individuals who are experiencing substance use disorder and various mental health conditions. It helps you identify damaging thought and behavior patterns and replace them with healthy ones.

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.

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.

Half of the outpatient psychiatrists here are a joke. I’ve only had one good psychiatrist here whose residency was up. Jaswin Singh was amazing and the only one who actually knows how to prescribe medication. Half of them don’t want to listen to you or they make you feel stupid. left my last appointment in tears.

The staff here were actually so unprofessional. They didn’t care if you bathed, ate, or if you were one to sh, they would watch you do it and not say anything. During the duration that i was there, the BHA’s took us to the straight jacket room, and told all of us that we’d end up there if we “didn’t clean up our act” They also let fights break out, and watched as kids would beat eachother bloody. I sat in the waiting room for 3 HOURS until i saw 1 human being. The nurses who checked me in, looked at my body and pointed out and LAUGHED at each scar on my body. Do not go here.

Hi, I was a patient here and they had shortage of staff, and the atmosphere of the place felt very unorganized and difficult with situations beyond our control.. I think also that some of the staff were not aware of how they’re handling their emotions or keeping professional.. the amount of disrespect and I think or recommend if schedule was modified..? Other than that it is safer. It just felt as if my doctor didn’t know how to treat me. I received a side affect from one of the meds and they didn’t realize..

My daughter has signed herself in my daughter wants her to come home they are refusing to let her come home they're threading the 302 her with a judge not only that but the caseworker is rude ignorant and don't want to listen to anything including refusing this Handover a card that was needed . For my daughter's son and my grandson now they're going to sit there and throw her an attitude the nurses are ignorant irresponsibility and they need to do something because I got a lawyer and I'm going to follow the biggest lawsuit against the towers now because you cannot hold somebody against their will and you guys are holding her against her will and not caseworker is refusing to listen to my daughter telling her she's going to residential she's going here and there My daughter is old enough to make her choices and your place need to start looking at who you are hiring

The bad reviews you are reading here are true. I was told by admitting staff that those reviews were from "upset people" and not realistic. I became one of those "upset people" after my child's experience at the facility in Reading PA. It is very similar to a prison of sorts, and is clearly run for profit. From arbitrary, ridiculous rules to varying degrees of incompetence by staff- my child was traumatized by an experience falsely claiming to be healthy and nurturing. Fortunately my child was able to sign a 72 hour release form and was able to come home. Because of that they refuse to offer any after care or referrals for follow-up treatment. To my mind this approaches being criminal. I am not a spiteful person and I am writing this in hopes of preventing other children from making the mistake of trusting this facility. It almost seems as though the admitting staff are sales people and what you find after signing the paperwork is a feeling of being deliberately misled. This is a frequent problem with facilities of this nature due to being run for profit. Being in the building gives one a bad feeling from the start. Very strange facility in general, for example visiting is restricted to 45 minutes and is held in one of the gyms, where chairs are placed against the walls. Patients wear ankle bracelets and must have permission or approval for the smallest things. Items sent with my child, following the rules, were subsequently picked through and the child only received some items- shampoo approved but not conditioner- simple hair tie required a doctor's approval. Absurd. Please think carefully before considering this facility for your child. I am heartbroken at the treatment received. Thank you for reading.
