Medical Detox Program
Our 24/7 medically supervised detox program safely manages withdrawal symptoms using medication-assisted treatment and natural therapies. Licensed by Pennsylvania Department of Health, we treat alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulant dependencies. The program includes individualized care plans, nutritional support, and transition to long-term treatment.

The 30-day inpatient program combines cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma processing, and holistic therapies like acupuncture. Clients receive daily counseling, chronic pain management, and faith-based support. The serene Pennsylvania campus features wellness amenities and structured schedules for recovery skill development.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Offered in Wexford, PA, our evening and morning IOP sessions use evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT. The hybrid format includes group therapy, individual counseling, and Trac9 progress tracking. Participants develop relapse prevention strategies while maintaining work or family responsibilities.
