Residential Treatment Services for Men Along The Allegheny River
Residential care is available here in the form of either short or long-term programming, depending on your needs. The facility provides a calm, intimate setting for recovery, with a low client-to-staff ratio for more hands-on, personalized care.
Residents can enjoy meals in a full-service dining hall, as well as keep fit and care for their bodies in the center’s gym and weight room. Treatment is faith-based and incorporates Bible study and spiritual formation opportunities. There’s also a brand new, beautiful chapel on-site where residents can find peace and engage in daily prayer and private worship practices.
Outpatient Drug Rehab and Spiritual Support Services
For more flexible care, clients can also engage in the center’s outpatient programs with therapeutic methods used including motivational interviewing (MI), the Matrix Model, relapse prevention and 12-step facilitation.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is also offered using FDA-approved medicines like oral and injectable naltrexone, as well as various other medications for psychiatric disorders.
Similarly to the inpatient program, faith-based recovery informs the overall approach here. They integrate Bible study and community service into programming alongside holistic care that encourages clients to address not only their psychological and sociological needs, but their physical and spiritual needs.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
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.
Clients engaged in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) live and work in their home community while receiving frequent, high-level care. These programs offer personalized care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, but high-risk clients and those in early recovery may receive up to 20 hours of care weekly. IOP services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as massage.
Outpatient rehabs specialize in providing comprehensive care for clients who choose to remain in their homes and communities during treatment. Their services may include transitional support for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient programming. Ambulatory medical detox may be provided for clients at low risk for withdrawal complications. Many programs include evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients who are working professionals or caregivers. Addiction counseling and life skills training are common treatment modalities.
