If you or your loved one are looking for an addiction rehab center in Pennsylvania, you’re not alone, but you do need help.

Denial is one of the most common behaviors displayed by someone facing substance use disorder (SUD). As time goes on, however, the signs become impossible to ignore. Pennsylvania rehab centers, as well as all others across the United States, are filled with people who are struggling with health, family, career and quality of life damage as a result of their addiction. Before addiction destroys your or your loved one’s life, learn the signs:
Physical and Psychological Withdrawal
Bloodshot Eyes
Bad Breath
Shaking and Tremors
Taking prescription drugs after they’re no longer needed for a health problem
Inability to stop using drugs or drinking, even if you want to
Lying, stealing and manipulation to be able to use
Aggression and indignation when confronted about drinking or drug use
Knowing these indicators can help you identify whether or not you or the person you care about needs help.
There are many alcohol and drug rehab centers in and around Pennsylvania, and it can be hard to distinguish one from the other during your search. When you’re researching rehab centers in Pennsylvania, here are some important things to look for:
Addiction is often associated with an underlying mental health issue, like depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, eating disorder or something else. Ask the admissions representative you talk to if their staff is equipped to deal with your specific acute or chronic mental health issue.
Detox is the process by which the body is purged of toxins gathered through prolonged drug and alcohol use. While detox is a fundamental component of treatment, many rehab centers in Michigan will not offer it or even the possibility of coordination with a nearby hospital.
Choose a rehab center that offers an experienced team of doctors, nurses, therapists and mental health professionals. Check the staff section of their website to get an idea of what their care team can offer.
Find out what sort of accreditations your facility has, such as from organizations like JCAHO, CARF or their designated state agencies. This will give you peace of mind and a baseline assurance of quality.
There are many different types of rehab, and it helps to know that the facility you’re considering can accommodate you. You may need in-depth care at an inpatient or residential rehab center, or you may just need a more flexible outpatient option.
Look for reviews online and alumni testimonials of others’ experiences. Sometimes the best way to find out about a rehab center is by listening to others who have been there.
There is no question that Pennsylvania rehab centers can be an investment, but you or your loved one can use your insurance to pay for all or part of your care. Every major insurance company pays for some level of behavioral health treatment, including but not limited to:
Aetna
Cigna
Blue Cross Blue Shield
Humana
Magellan
Bright Health
Recovery Unplugged is in-network with nearly every major insurance company, meaning our facilities across the country have pre-negotiated rates to make care more affordable and accessible. You don’t have to let cost get in the way of treatment.
If your loved one is in a Pennsylvania rehab center, or a facility close by, it’s perfectly natural for you to come and visit. It’s important to realize, however, that most rehab centers have set times that loved ones can visit, and there will be times when your loved one is in treatment during your visit. The good news is that Pennsylvania is rich in cultural treasures. There are plenty of things to do while your loved one is getting the help they need, including but not limited to:
Independence National Park and the Liberty Bell (Philadelphia)
Gettysburg National Military Park (Gettysburg)
Hershey Park (Hershey)
Fallingwater (Mill Run)
Presque Isle State Park (Eerie)
Pennsylvania is also home to some of the most prestigious and interesting museums and highest-rated restaurants in the country. It’s a big state, but there’s something for everyone. These attractions will not only offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience; they will also offer some respite and relaxation from the often emotionally charged situation of visiting a loved one in addiction treatment.
Pennsylvania has been battling its own epidemic of substance use disorder for years:

59,850
