Inpatient Treatment Program in Williamsburg, PA

The adult inpatient addiction program at Cove Forge Behavioral Health takes place on our beautiful, 65-acre campus in central Pennsylvania. Surrounded by majestic mountains, our campus offers a tranquil place for individuals to work toward recovery without distraction from the outside world. This program provides ASAM Level 3.7 medically monitored intensive inpatient services, which is a level of care established by the American Society of Addiction Medicine that refers to medically managed residential care that includes withdrawal management. 

Patients in our inpatient program reside in a state-of-the-art, 25-bed, coed unit that is crafted to meet the specific needs of this population. We focus on creating a safe healing space where individuals can achieve stabilization, address the root causes of their substance use, and develop the skills necessary for lasting recovery. Patients in the program receive personalized care from a multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals who are committed to making sure that they remain safe and comfortable throughout their time with us. 

Our medically monitored inpatient program is available for adults age 18 and older who are suffering from addictions to any number of substances, including alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids. It is specifically designed for individuals who are not medically or psychologically stable enough for a residential level of care but do not need acute medical or psychiatric hospitalization. 

Patients in our Williamsburg inpatient program must be able to perform activities of daily living, but they may have physical, medical, or psychiatric limitations that require a need for 24/7 monitored care. This program is ideal for individuals who have complex biomedical, emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions that may complicate their recovery process. 

We recognize that addictions affect people from all walks of life, and our program was created to be inclusive and effective for a diverse population, regardless of their background, treatment history, or personal challenges. 

Please note that for a patient to be admitted to our inpatient addiction program, they must be free of any acute withdrawal signs and symptoms. Acute detoxification should be completed prior to entering the program. 

The foundation of care in our inpatient addiction program is the disease concept model and 12-Step programming. We use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to create a well-rounded and effective care experience. Our clinical model is designed to be flexible, allowing us to tailor services to each person. 

Our highly skilled clinical team includes physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified substance abuse counselors. This experienced team incorporates a variety of methods and services into the care they provide, including: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT is used to help patients identify and change destructive thought patterns and behaviors. 

• Reality therapy/choice therapy: Reality therapy focuses on problem-solving and helping patients learn how to make better choices. 

• Motivational interviewing: Motivational interviewing is a collaborative approach to care that helps patients resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change. 

• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is an effective therapy for patients who have experienced trauma. 

Our team believes in the importance of meeting patients where they are on their recovery journeys and providing appropriate interventions that will help them truly progress. We also believe that family involvement can be key to a person’s recovery, so we offer support and counseling for the loved ones of our patients. 

Every person in the adult inpatient addiction program at our Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, rehab center receives an individualized plan of care that is created based on their unique needs. Examples of the types of services that may be part of a person’s care plan include: 

• Medical care: When needed, patients can receive medical care from our clinical staff. Patients can meet with clinicians daily or on an as-needed basis. We also have 24-hour nursing coverage on our adult inpatient program unit. 

• Medication management services: Patients who are taking medication meet with a psychiatrist on an as-needed basis for medication management services. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are also available to administer and monitor the effects of our patients’ medications. 

• Medication-assisted treatment: Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available for select patients depending on the specific addiction they are struggling with. The medications we may prescribe include buprenorphine, Vivitrol, Revia, and Sublocade. 

• Individual therapy: Patients meet with their primary counselor at least once each week to work on their personal treatment goals.  

• Group therapy: Patients participate in daily group therapy sessions, where they may discuss topics such as mental health, chemical dependency, life skills, and relapse prevention. 

• Family therapy: Family therapy sessions with a dedicated family counselor are available as needed to help heal relationships and build a strong support system.  

• Experiential therapies: We offer music therapy and other experiential and activities groups twice a week. 

Additionally, patients have the option of participating in faith-based programming if they wish to do so. 

To reinforce progress in the program, our team conducts random drug screenings. We also provide weekly education on health-related topics, such as HIV, hepatitis, and other risks associated with substance use. 

The length of stay in our adult inpatient addiction program is not fixed. It is individualized and varies based on each person’s needs and the progress they make. The program itself is designed to be fluid, allowing for brief stabilization periods for some patients, while others may stay longer if they require more time to achieve medical, psychological, and behavioral stability. 

Admission to our inpatient addiction program in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, is a straightforward process. You can contact our admissions department, and a friendly member of our staff can answer any questions you may have and begin the admissions process. 

Upon admission, a registered nurse completes a comprehensive nursing assessment, and a history and physical exam is conducted by a licensed provider within 24 hours. An addiction professional completes a biopsychosocial assessment, which includes gathering information about the person’s substance use history, past treatment experience, presenting symptoms, and social history. The results of these assessments are then used to create the person’s individualized plan of care.
