TIPS: If you feel you're going to use

  • Find a peer support group: Pennsylvania 12-step meetings and aftercare programs from the Addicted.org directory.
  • Stay active and distracted—take advantage of fitness or community centers, or go for long and short walks.
  • Utilize free or open behavioral health counseling or contact PA 2-1-1.
  • Find an extroverted activity—experience the history, Lake Wallenpaupack, Dutch Wonderland, state parks, or the Lancaster Central Market.
  • Avoid risky situations that lead to relapse. Becoming overwhelmed and unmanaged stress are common triggers.

TIPS: If you want to help someone

  • Refer them to local resources through Addicted.org or the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
  • Be aware of overdose risks—resources available through the OverdoseFree PA, or the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
  • Assessment and screening are vital tools. These resources are available at the state and local levels.
  • Consider hiring a professional interventionist and plan a family intervention.
  • Avoid enabling anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol as it worsens the situation.

Pennsylvania Long-Term Drug Rehab

The professional opinion of Addicted.org is that long-term residential rehabilitation is the best treatment and lifelong recovery option. Here are some reasons why:

  • Long-term rehab programs in Pennsylvania attend to your multiple needs. Treatment manages addiction and may help with associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, or legal problems.
  • Individuals remain in treatment for an adequate time, increasing their success rate. Long-term programs generally provide treatment for 30, 60, 90 days, or longer.
  • Patients have access to 24/7 psychological and medical support. Most long-term programs provide extensive support networks for their clients.
  • Multiple therapy methodologies are utilized. Longer treatment permits more opportunity—for example, behavioral therapy, spiritual therapy, holistic treatment, or experiential therapy.
  • Long-term treatment helps you develop life-saving routines, healthy habits, and behaviors more effectively than other forms of treatment.

Regardless of your financial situation or addiction, Addicted.org will help you find rehabilitation in the state. Our qualified professionals provide the resources you need to narrow the search and locate a program that meets your treatment and recovery needs.

Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics

Paying for Drug Rehab in Pennsylvania

The cost of treatment in Pennsylvania can vary from person to person, depending on several factors. One of these factors is the type of program the person chooses. Some programs are funded by the state and accept Medicaid insurance, while others are privately owned and may only accept cash or private health insurance.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Pennsylvania

Medicaid in Pennsylvania may help some people pay for their entire treatment costs. Over 3 million residents of the state are enrolled in Medicaid. Those who qualify and are using it to pay for treatment must choose one facility that accepts it. These facilities are highly utilized, and often, there’s a waiting list to be admitted. A person may wait several weeks for a bed to open in such a program.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Pennsylvania

Private insurance may give a person better access to treatment in Pennsylvania. Even though more facilities in the state accept Medicaid, privately-owned facilities usually provide higher quality treatment and do not have the long waiting lists that subsidized programs may.

But not everyone can afford private health insurance. Unfortunately, this fact doesn’t automatically qualify them for Medicaid coverage. Pennsylvania’s expanded Medicaid program may be the answer for those who don’t qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance. It can help reduce the cost of the premium of certain participating private insurance plans, making coverage more affordable.

The following insurers are available through the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023:

  • Capital Advantage Assurance
  • Geisinger Health Plan
  • Geisinger Quality Options
  • Highmark, Inc.
  • Highmark Benefits Group
  • Highmark Coverage Advantage
  • Keystone Health Plan East
  • QCC Insurance Company
  • UPMC Health Coverage
  • UPMC Health Options
  • PA Health and Wellness
  • Oscar Health
  • Cigna

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

Even though there are several options for insurance, many people still end up paying for treatment when uninsured. Often, the person who needs help hasn’t kept an insurance policy or pursued assistance from Medicaid. And waiting to get them insured can be very dangerous and is not recommended when they need treatment.

Thankfully, some programs offer sliding-scale payment options. This means that the program cost may be reduced based on the person’s income and broken into affordable payments. The Department of Human Services also has substance abuse services available to children and adults. Single county authorities in the state administer the programs and determine a person’s eligibility for service funding.

You can contact one of the treatment specialists at Addicted.org for more information on how to pay for treatment. Or contact the center directly.

Addicted.org’s Evaluation of Drug Rehabs in Pennsylvania

A big barrier when searching for drug and alcohol treatment in Pennsylvania surrounds the cost of treatment for low-income families. In addition, many programs are offered through the Department of Human Services, and Pennsylvania’s Medical Assistance programs cover most programs’ costs. Yet, there can be long wait times.

Most of the state’s treatment centers accept Medicaid or private health insurance. Unfortunately, only a small number of programs provide a sliding fee scale or treatment at no charge or minimal payment.  Our experts recommend contacting more than one rehabilitation center. Ask what payment options they provide. Also, contact your Medicaid office or health insurance provider and find out specifically what insurance covers.

The bulk of programs in the state is outpatient centers. Yet, many of these programs offer residential care, which is a significant benefit. We recommend an addiction assessment to help you find the right choice.

More Information

Michael Leach is a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, who has over 5 years of experience working in the field of addiction. He spent his career working under the board-certified Addictionologist Dr. Rohit Adi. His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.
