    Conditions and Issues Treated

    Rehab centers in Pennsylvania exist to help individuals bounce back from substance abuse. Drug addiction refers to the use of illegal drugs and improper use of prescription drugs. Substance abuse includes all problems that stem out from using psychoactive substances. Centers like Little Creek Lodge are here to help.

    Opioid addiction is one of the most common forms of addiction Pennsylvania. Opioids include drugs like heroin, oxycontin and fentanyl. They are prescribed to treat pain, but they are often abused and they are addictive. The addiction is treated by detoxing the body, so it no longer needs the chemicals in the drugs. This is followed up by therapies to correct behavior and target the root of the problem.

    Levels of Care Offered at Little Creek Lodge

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Inpatient, Outpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Detox is the first step of rehab. It involves giving a person time to get the toxins out of their body. During detox, the patient gets ill and they will often start using again to get rid of these unpleasant feelings. That’s why it’s so important to have a Lake Ariel medical professional at Little Creek Lodge present. A Pennsylvania medical professional will make sure patients don’t start using during detox. They will also provide medication to ease their symptoms and coach them through on a mental level.

Pennsylvania inpatient recovery guarantees that the patient resides in an environment free of drugs.

    An Outpatient Rehab Program is a part-time drug rehab program for treating individuals in Lake Ariel, PA with mild addiction or mild-to-moderate drug withdrawal symptoms. It generally requires about 10 to 12 hours every week.

    Doctors can administer on-the-spot medication to ease withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, increased heart rate, and even depression. Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) can be used as a part of outpatient treatment to help maintain sobriety.

    Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are meant for individuals experiencing trouble functioning at school or with work and other occupations, medical instability, inadequate support at home, simultaneous mental health issues, and substance use disorders in Pennsylvania. They are also meant for those experiencing the risk of self-harm or the urge to harm others. It is a short-term treatment program offered at Little Creek Lodge, aiming to improve individuals enough to be reassigned to a lower level of care. The program operates within a psychiatric hospital for several hours daily, usually three to five days per week.

    A sober living home aims to reinforce sobriety and learnings from inpatient and outpatient programs. It’s a supervised environment in Lake Ariel, PA managed by Little Creek Lodge, which is guaranteed safe and free from addictive substances.

    Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

    Aftercare Support at Little Creek Lodge, in short, is the support provided to a patient after they have finished treatment. It allows them to adjust to everyday life.

    Addiction is a family disease. Family therapy is a common tool that is used during inpatient treatment. While living with active addiction in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania, it is impossible for family members not to be affected. In order to have the greatest chances for long term sobriety, healing any family trauma and dysfunctional communications is important.

    DBT, also known as dialectical behavior therapy, is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that helps people understand how their thoughts, behaviors, and feelings all connect. This can give them more control over their actions, effectively stopping self-harm ideations and attempts in some patients. It can also help put people in control over some mental struggles, like borderline personality disorder.

    Most individuals suffering from addiction have low self-awareness, so they end up making poor decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is suitable for patients recovering from an addiction of any kind. Through it, patients become more aligned with their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, giving them a better opportunity to respond appropriately to temptations and negative feelings.

    This therapy modality at Little Creek Lodge in Lake Ariel, PA strengthens a person’s ability to stay on top of their emotional state and learn new stress management techniques so they won’t give in to the temptations easily. Moreover, CBT helps people communicate and express their emotions well, which can be vital in relapse management. CBT is also suitable for managing co-occurring disorders like depression and bipolar illness.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is designed to help patients process trauma. During the therapy, patients follow a bar of light or watch their therapist’s finger move back and forth. This mimics the eye movements of REM sleep. These are the same movements that allow the brain to reprocess memories. When traumatic memories are reprocessed, it reduces the impact they have on emotions. This treatment, offered by Little Creek Lodge, can be helpful to patients who turn to drugs to escape painful memories.

    When it comes to maintaining sobriety, people who quit recovery without developing life skills are disadvantaged. While teaching life skills at Little Creek Lodge is difficult, support with aftercare helps patients learn these skills over time. Life skills include getting a career, living in a good environment, self-care, and finance management, all in Lake Ariel, PA.
