2
Inpatient Rehab
For many people, it’s important to focus entirely on recovery without distractions, and inpatient treatment in Pennsylvania gives you that opportunity. Building a new life for yourself is challenging, and the focused, uninterrupted treatment you receive during inpatient care can help you lay that foundation.
3

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Pennsylvania helps you address the thinking patterns that are holding you back from a better life. Learning which thought distortions you are most susceptible to can help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, create better interpretations of situations, and choose healthier responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) in Pennsylvania gives you the confidence to overcome challenges that are holding you back from a better life. Learning to develop a healthier mindset through stress management skills gives you the ability to create better circumstances in your life, and choose healthier responses to challenges.
Experiential Therapy
Sometimes trauma and emotions are buried deeply, and experiential therapy in Pennsylvania is a non-traditional therapy that can allow you to work through them. During treatment, you may take part in art projects, musical expression, or physical challenges like an obstacle course. These allow you to process emotions in a non-traditional way.
Individual Therapy
Talking about what you’ve experienced is an important way to heal, and individual therapy in Pennsylvania gives you that opportunity. Individual therapy sessions generally last 60 minutes and may include discussing a specific issue, education about specific topics, or developing life skills.
