When an individual or family begins to make the
challenging decision to seek addiction treatment,
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.
A Full Line of Addictions Care
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 elements at Livengrin.
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 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.
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.
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 locations
in Bucks, Philadelphia, Lehigh and Montgomery Counties
to help you. 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).
