Types of Treatment Offered for Marijuana Abuse at the White Deer Run Treatment Network

The addiction rehab centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network are renowned and respected throughout Pennsylvania for adults who are struggling with chemical dependency and certain co-occurring mental health conditions. With 16 locations throughout the state of Pennsylvania, the White Deer Run Treatment Network is uniquely prepared to offer a full continuum of care to help individuals achieve and maintain long-term recovery.

Programs within the White Deer Run Treatment Network include detox, residential rehabilitation, outpatient programs (OP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and halfway houses.

The goal of rehab at any White Deer Run program is not merely to alleviate symptoms, but to provide actionable solutions that empower individuals to identify, address, and ultimately overcome the obstacles that have been preventing them from living healthier, drug-free lives. When an individual enters treatment at a White Deer Run rehab center, he or she can expect to receive clinically superior care that has been customized to meet his or her specific needs and that is provided by teams of experienced professionals in an atmosphere of dignity and respect.

Treatment at White Deer Run is a comprehensive experience in which participants are encouraged and empowered to play active roles in their own recovery. Depending upon an individual’s unique history, needs, strengths, and goals, the following are among the elements that may be incorporated into his or her rehab plan at centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network:

Detoxification: Depending upon the particular substance that a person has become dependent upon, and the length and severity of that dependence, attempting to stop or significantly reduce use without professional assistance can trigger the onset of distressing and potentially dangerous symptoms. At several rehab centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network, individuals who have been incapable of ridding their bodies of the substances that they have been abusing can complete medically monitored detox prior to starting a residential rehabilitation program. Detox at a White Deer Run addiction center is a safe experience that features around-the-clock supervision by qualified medical personnel who can alleviate many of the painful symptoms of withdrawal. When the individual completes detox, which can last anywhere from three to seven days, he or she can seamlessly transition directly into residential rehab.

Individual therapy: Individuals who enroll in residential rehab, outpatient treatment, or a halfway house within the White Deer Run Treatment Network to be treated for marijuana abuse or dependence have the opportunity to participate in individual therapy sessions with a therapist or counselor. Depending upon the program, individual therapy sessions may be held according to a regular schedule or arranged on an as-needed basis. While the frequency and duration of individual therapy sessions may vary from program to program, the purpose and function will remain the same. In individual therapy sessions, an individual can work one-on-one with a qualified professional to process successes, setbacks, and other rehab experiences, while also having the opportunity to address issues that he or she may be hesitant or unable to discuss during group or family therapy.

Group therapy: Group therapy is a fundamental aspect of treatment at all levels within the White Deer Run Treatment Network. Group therapy sessions, which typically involve a small number of individuals in treatment along with one or two experienced professionals, offer a range of immediate and long-term benefits to participants who are recovering from marijuana use disorder. During group therapy, individuals in rehab can learn from the insights and experiences of others who are working through similar problems and challenges. Group therapy also provides a forum for individuals in treatment to become more effective listeners, practice healthy interpersonal communication skills, and share their own knowledge and opinions. While the type and general topic of a group therapy session will have been established before the group begins, the specific content and direction of the group will be influenced by the contributions of participants, thus providing another means for individuals in treatment to play active roles in the course of their care.

Family therapy: Parents, spouses, siblings, and other family members can be significantly impacted by an individual’s marijuana abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. They can also play an essential role in their loved one’s treatment and ongoing recovery. However, the transition from caring about a loved one who is struggling with an addiction to supporting a family member in his or her efforts to maintain long-term recovery may require significant changes both in general family dynamics and in the specific behaviors of the individual family members. In recognition of these realities, the addiction treatment centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network conduct family therapy sessions on both scheduled and as-needed bases. Among the many benefits of family therapy, these sessions provide a structured and supervised forum for addressing divisions among family members, strengthening the family unit, improving healthy communication, and helping family members learn how to provide valuable ongoing support to their loved one.

At each level of care within the White Deer Run Treatment Network, participants work closely with therapists, counselors, and other professionals to prepare detailed discharge plans. The result of this intensive ongoing planning process is that when an individual has completed his or her time in rehab, he or she will have a thorough plan that identifies the professional referrals, community services, and other resources that will support his or her efforts to maintain and build upon the progress that was made in treatment.

Regardless of whether the next phase of an individual’s recovery will take place at home or in a follow-up or step-down treatment environment, the goal of the addiction rehab centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network is to ensure that he or she is prepared to experience continued success along the path of long-term recovery.
