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.

This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace.

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.

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.
