About A Better Today – Stroudsburg

A Better Today has 7 locations in Pennsylvania, one of which is located in Stroudsburg. For over 30 years, these outpatient clinics have been providing substance use counseling for adults, adolescents and families. The levels of care offered include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient (OP) to suit each person’s needs.

The different levels of care are designed to provide each client with the number of treatment hours they need each week. Yet, the comprehensive treatment offered is the same across all levels.

A Better Today provides individual counseling. In these one-on-one sessions, clients will unpack the factors that contributed to substance abuse. Clients who are receiving medical assisted treatment (MAT) can get counseling at A Better Today if they are not already receiving outpatient care by their provider.

In addition to individual counseling, clients will participate in group counseling. In these peer sessions, groups will learn about substance abuse, healthy coping skills, relapse prevention and build a support system with others who are also in recovery.

Support services for family and friends are available. They will learn how to best support their loved one dealing with addiction as well as become a trusted resource during their recovery.

A Better Today also provides extensive case management services. They will assist in setting up referrals for many services including transportation, welfare, food/clothing, housing, primary care, HIV/STD testing and more.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
