THE 5 THINGS YOU
NEED TO KNOW
About Drug and Alcohol Treatment at Livengrin Foundation
When an individual or family begins to make the challenging
decision to seek treatment for alcohol or drugs, there are
many questions, and many choices.There are some basics, however,
that should be focused on – no matter what treatment
facility you go to, or the reason, be it alcohol, heroin, cocaine,
marijuana, meth or prescription drugs. |
A Full Line of Addiction Treatment
Services
Treatment services should meet the needs of the individual
across the complete " continuum
of care." Based on
an initial assessment and professional consultation, a patient
can enter Livengrin at the appropriate point, from medical
detoxification and residential treatment to outpatient and
specialized programs. We don’t have the restrictions
imposed on other facilities that, for example, are “outpatient
only” or don’t take insurance. Later, there may
be a need for the right connections into “recovery /
halfway houses” to facilitate a patient’s re-entry
into the community, as well as a strong alumni component that
helps the individual “stay connected” to recovery.
You’ll find these services at Livengrin.
Security
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. |
Innovation
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.
Affordability
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 talk to drug and alcohol 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.
Accessibility
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 addiction
treatment centers 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. |
