About GRC Advanced Recovery Network—Washington Halfway House for Men – Washington
The Lighthouse for Men is a temporary home designed for males who are recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction. It’s part of the GRC Advanced Recovery Network, formerly known as the Green Briar Treatment. They’re located in Washington, Pennsylvania. Stays are typically 1-3 months, depending on each person’s individualized treatment plan.
While this facility only provides treatment for men, the company also has a similar program for women. Sometimes being around only other guys can help your recovery. Help is provided to patients having troubles with the law, their families, or accessing community support.
They provide dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). DBT works on accepting what you cannot change and focusing on what you can change. CBT looks at negative thought patterns and works on altering them, changing their mindset and improving relationships and communication.
The center also provides individual and group therapy. Group therapy allows people to listen to different ideas and opinions. Family therapy can improve communication and connection and families can learn how to help post discharge.
A really interesting and unique feature of this facility is that they teach vital skills to patients and this helps them when they are in the community. The life skills are things like budgeting, taxes, cooking, job searching and writing a resume, maintaining good relationships, and living on your own. People can get help with medical or legal issues. Support workers can help with reintegration into their community after completing treatment.
Speaking of which, after clients leave, this facility provides ‘em with relapse prevention therapy. Clients are shown how to make themselves part of a community, gaining community resources and support, and know about things that could benefit them, such as support groups. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are a few examples.
It’s also neat that they’re in a secluded part of town so you can get some privacy. If you need to stretch your legs or spend some downtime unwinding, North Strabane Township Park is within driving distance.
GRC has incredible ratings, with many past clients giving this place five stars. Always check with your insurance company to confirm the treatment is covered under your plan. They accept most major insurance and Medicaid. They will also work with you to try and obtain alternate funding sources.
