Cove Forge Behavioral Health System in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, provides comprehensive care for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with addictions. We also offer care for those who are also experiencing symptoms of co-occurring mental health disorders. Our full continuum of care includes a variety of services, all of which are designed to meet each person where they are on their recovery journey.
Detoxification
When a person has become dependent on certain substances, attempting to stop using those substances can be undermined by the presence of painful and potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms. At Cove Forge Behavioral Health System in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, we offer inpatient nonhospital detoxification services that help reduce the painful effects of withdrawal while ensuring that patients are in a safe and comfortable environment.
Individuals in the detox program benefit from round-the-clock nursing care, and they are able to begin participating in therapy, even before they complete detox and transition to residential rehabilitation. Individuals meet with a psychiatrist within three days of admission and then on an as-needed basis while in detox. The detox counselor conducts individual therapy sessions within 24 hours of admission, and then additional sessions can take place when needed. Additionally, detox counselors and technicians lead a variety of group therapy sessions each day.
The typical length of stay in detox at our rehab center is three to five days.
Residential Rehabilitation
The residential rehabilitation program at our Williamsburg facility is designed for adults who have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder. During residential rehab, individuals may participate in a variety of therapeutic activities, including individual, group, family, and experiential therapies. Throughout their time in our residential rehabilitation program, patients participate in at least one 30-minute individual therapy session each week, with additional individual sessions available for scheduling on an as-needed basis. Group therapy is a fundamental element of care in the residential rehabilitation program, with multiple sessions taking place every day. Family therapy sessions can be scheduled when needed or requested. Experiential activities such as music groups and exercise groups are also held on a regular basis in the residential rehab program.
ASAM Level 3.7 Medically Monitored Intensive Inpatient Services
Our ASAM Level 3.7 medically monitored intensive inpatient addiction program is offered on a specialized, 25-bed unit, providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals who have complex medical, emotional, or behavioral needs. This program is ideal for patients who do not need acute hospitalization but need more monitoring than is offered in a residential program.
In our Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, inpatient addiction program, patients receive personalized care plans that may include services such as individual and group therapy, medical care, and experiential therapies. Our team uses evidence-based treatment modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and motivational interviewing. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and family counseling are also available.
The inpatient program promotes stabilization, addressing the root causes of addiction and helping patients build skills for lasting recovery.
Dual Diagnosis Care
Individuals who are struggling with both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health disorder can receive integrated care for both conditions in our inpatient nonhospital dual diagnosis rehabilitation program.
Individuals in the dual diagnosis program work with both a chemical dependency counselor and a mental health counselor, which is unique from other treatment centers. Patients in the dual diagnosis program at our Williamsburg rehab center may engage in mental health-specific groups and addiction-focused groups so that all the concerns they are facing can be addressed. As is the case with those in the regular rehab program, individuals in the dual diagnosis program have the opportunity to participate in individual, group, family, and experiential therapies, and those who have an addiction to opioids may also benefit from participation in our H.O.P.E. program.
Family Program
The family program at our Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, facility is open to family members of the patients in our care. This program consists of psychoeducational sessions in which patients’ families learn about the disease of addiction and the recovery process. Additionally, as part of this program, individuals and their family members can work through concerns that may be affecting the family’s ability to support the efforts of the patient to achieve and maintain long-term recovery.
Please note that special permission is needed for children under the age of 12 to participate.
H.O.P.E. Program
Our Heroin Opiate Positive Experience (H.O.P.E.) program is designed to help individuals who have struggled with opioid dependency heal their brain and recover from the effects of a destabilized endorphin system. Individuals at our rehab center in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, who participate in the H.O.P.E. program complete several activities that help encourage this positive transformation. Whether a patient can benefit from participation in the H.O.P.E. program is determined at the time of their admission.
Music Program
The music program at Cove Forge Behavioral Health System involves studies in music history and music appreciation, as well as a performance group and a recording group. The purpose of this program is to allow individuals who have had a relationship with music but have either stopped pursuing or lost interest in that passion as a result of their substance abuse to rediscover their passion. Individuals in the program write, produce, and record music. Performances are held and CDs are recorded as part of this program. This program has proved to be especially beneficial for individuals who are taking part in the H.O.P.E. program.
