Located on a beautiful mountain-side in central Pennsylvania, our campus promotes healing. Elegant log and stone lodges, miles of walking trails, a spa and wellness center, gym, library, chapel and very private grounds all contribute to a successful recovery experience.

Each person is unique

Most addiction treatment facilities offer an identical program to every person, as if the underlying issues that drive addiction are the same for everyone.  We believe this “one size fits all” approach fails to meet the needs of many people.  By recognizing each person's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues, we find resolution to problems and achieve better outcomes. Working with only about 20 residents at a time, you never become a “number” at St. Joseph Institute.

Healing the whole Person

Overcoming addiction is about reclaiming your life and making it better.  Our program provides the opportunity to achieve a level of wellness that few people experience.  We will be concerned about your physical health, and address issues such as chronic pain or nutrient deficiencies that contribute to mood swings.  Helping you learn ways to better manage your life, while addressing co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, abuse or trauma, will be an important goal.  We will also support your spiritual development -- without imposing specific beliefs --to help you re-discover a sense of purpose.  Developing the skills that will help you manage stress, reduce conflict, and have happier relationships, is also part of our program.

Preparing for the future

A critical aspect of the recovery process is preparing for the next step -- living a better life that is drug and alcohol free.  Together we will develop a plan for the future, coordinating the support necessary to help you stay clean and sober.  In the months and years ahead we will be here to help, offer advice, support, and encouragement as you journey forward.
