Here's a rule you can trust: the longer a person is involved in treatment, the better their chances of success at lifelong recovery.

That's why it's most helpful if the treatment services can meet the needs of the individual across the complete "continuum of care." 

At Livengrin, this means a patient can enter at the most appropriate point, from medical detoxification and residential rehab to outpatient and specialized programs. (This decision is made only after an initial assessment and professional consultation.)

Not every treatment center works this way. Some will have restrictions, perhaps because they're "outpatient only" or don't take insurance. Livengrin's approach is that "all doors are open."

This continuum of care makes the transition easier from one level of treatment to the next, without the patient's having to change organizations or do more paperwork. Once you are a patient at Livengrin, we can usually take care of your entire treatment plan. (For example, someone diagnosed with an anger management problem and an addiction can have both needs addressed together.)

For some patients as needed, we can smooth the transition to a recovery or halfway house that facilitates re-entry into the community. And everyone can benefit from a strong alumni component that helps the individual stay connected to recovery for years.  Livengrin provides these resources.

Coming to a treatment center – or bringing a loved one to a facility – is like coming to the hospital.  It can hold a lot of emotion about "what happens next."  You can be confident that patients at Livengrin are treated as we all would want to be, with dignity and respect.  True, there are schedules and frameworks (and some rules) for patients, to be sure that the best possible treatment can take place in the time available.   But the safety of the individual is paramount, and the family can rest assured that at Livengrin, the patient is in a secure environment.

Livengrin's approach to the confidentiality that people want and expect is very specific. We don't talk about anyone and we're particular about who gets to see or know anything about patients (who have input into these choices). You can review the privacy policy here.

A well-trained professional staff is always learning about what's new, as well as researching and implementing treatment plans and specialized services that tackle the changing scope of public health challenges.  The Livengrin staff is continually attending – and in many instances, hosting – professional training.  Research by our clinical staff is published nationally.

While you can't "put a price tag on health," every family has to do what's best within the confines of their economic picture.  As you look at treatment facilities, find out about rates and how insurance is handled.  Livengrin's rates compare very favorably with other treatment providers.  We know, because we've done the comparisons.  Livengrin works with most insurance and managed-care companies to offer the most cost-effective care possible.

Family and friends are important to the recovery of a patient, and easy access for visiting and transportation matters a lot.  For people in our metropolitan region, there are six locations in Bucks, Philadelphia, Lehigh and Montgomery Counties to help you.  Whether you live in Doylestown or Levittown, New Hope or Newtown, Abington or Ambler, Roxborough or Chestnut Hill, Easton or Burlington, Langhorne or Trenton, a Livengrin facility is close by.

Our main residential campus in Bensalem is just outside Philadelphia, close to major air and ground transportation lines, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and I-95 (connecting to the entire corridor of Boston-New York-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington and points south).
