About PA Treatment and Healing Scranton
PA Treatment and Healing (PATH) in Scranton, Pennsylvania has been a part of the recovery community for the last 40 years. They treat youth and adults for all sorts of chemical dependencies, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). Treatment is provided in an outpatient setting.
Comprehensive and Licensed Drug and Alcohol Rehab
The state of Pennsylvania has licensed this center to provide addiction treatment to adults and adolescents. They offer many of the standard treatment methods you would expect from an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab program.
Beyond the expected individual and group therapy sessions, you can also get referrals to inpatient treatment programs. They also handle interventions for family members who might not yet be ready to start a formal recovery program.
Unique Treatment for At Risk Youth
Adolescence can be a real challenge for any teen, but when substance use and behavioral issues occur together, most parents are at a loss. Specialized programs that focus on both mental health and addiction help teens build healthier coping skills and make better decisions. Something offered here that you don’t often find in outpatient programs is help for youth who are at risk of getting into trouble with the juvenile justice system.
Families are always part of the treatment plan here. Parents are invited to monthly parent meetings where they can learn more about drug and alcohol use and how it affects not only their teen but also the entire family. Clients and families often praise the staff and their “compassion and expertise in working with challenging situations.”
PATH’s staff members emphasize the “supportive and therapeutic environment” that comes from their “commitment to individualized care and growth.” The mission is to guide each client toward making healthier choices that result in long term recovery.
