About Pennsylvania Counseling Services – Harrisburg
Pennsylvania Counseling Services is a behavioral health facility located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They offer psychiatric care, including drug and alcohol rehab services to teens and adults with substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder.
They accept most kinds of private insurance. They also accept self-pay and they adhere to the Federal No Surprises Act which requires providers to give consumers a written cost estimate within three days after a service is scheduled if the customer asks for an estimate.
You’ll have an assessment to determine the method of treatment that will work best for you. You will always have both group and individual therapy. They also offer family and couples therapy if your condition impacts those around you.
The psychotherapists here use a variety of different treatment methods to help people. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) gives you coping mechanisms for dealing with stressful situations. It also trains you to think differently in order to behave differently.
Motivational interviewing (MI) involves the therapist remaining objective and asking a series of questions. These questions are designed to help you find your own motivation to change.
They use the contingency management method of therapy to treat teens. This is a system of rewards for good behavior and withholding awards for negative or unhelpful behavior.
Group therapy will give you the chance to discuss your substance use with others who are in the same circumstances. A therapist will moderate the groups, but the people in the group often determine what is discussed.
I really like how they’ll tackle more than just substance misuse. They can look at underlying factors and other symptoms, such as eating disorders, anger and emotions, conflicts with gender identity, and depression. That way, you’ll have a better chance to address frustrations without resorting to drugs.
