St. Joseph Institute offers a superior path to recovery for adults seeking help with addiction to drugs & alcohol. Our proven alcohol & drug abuse rehab program and state-of-the-art therapies are driven by a belief that addiction can be overcome. Our program embraces treatment approaches that work, and we are constantly innovating to achieve results that few alcohol & drug abuse rehab centers can equal.
Compare St. Joseph Institute to other treatment facilities and see why we are recognized as a top rehab in PA.
Located on a beautiful mountain-side in central Pennsylvania (near State College and Altoona), our rehab 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 UniqueMost facilities offering help with addiction have an identical program for every person, as if the underlying issues that drive drug addiction and alcohol 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 rehab in PA.
Healing the Whole PersonOvercoming addiction is about reclaiming your life and making it better. The Institute's alcohol & drug abuse rehab program provides the opportunity to achieve a level of wellness that few people experience. We will be concerned about your physical and mental health, offering program options for those with chronic pain, PTSD or trauma. We help you learn ways to better manage your life, while addressing co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or abuse. As a Christian rehab center, we will 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 alcohol & drug abuse rehab program.
Preparing for the futureA 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.
