About Friendship House – Scranton – Scranton
Situated in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Friendship House is a non-profit organization that was established in 1871. They help individuals whether you’re a child, adolescent, or even an adult. If you’re facing any developmental disabilities, emotional or behavioral health challenges, or substance misuse, you can get the help you need here.
They consider themselves a “whole person care center,” which means that they integrate different aspects of mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment, as well as primary care services, to make sure you get everything you need under one roof. Another unique thing about this specific clinic is that they treat autism and developmental disabilities and specialize in that specific area of care.
Their levels of care are arranged through different types of outpatient treatment, such as standard outpatient care and partial hospitalization care. Partial hospitalization is the closest thing you’d get to a residential program while still being able to return home at night.
Something I found interesting is that they offer community and school-based behavioral health teams and a student assistance program. They also have social services and support, which provide group home options and adoption services.
One of Friendship House’s specialties is providing services and assistance for people with autism spectrum disorders. This can be especially helpful if you or your loved one has both substance use disorder and ASD because the team here is uniquely qualified to be able to support and communicate with you.
