Pennsylvania Counseling Services – Pearl Street

Pennsylvania Counseling Services – Pearl Street is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They offer treatment to teens and adults who suffer from substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They treat people who have co-occurring addiction issues and mental health conditions.

They provide a drug and alcohol assessment. They will ask you questions about your drug and alcohol consumption and questions that will gauge if you have a mental health condition. You may also be given a drug test.

You will have the opportunity to participate in group and individual therapy sessions. If you are an adult who needs a high level of care then you will go into the intensive outpatient program in which you will come in for treatment several times a week. If you do not need such a high level of care then they will provide you with therapy once a week.

Group therapy sessions are age-specific. Adolescents have their own group and adults have theirs. Treatment for SUD includes many different kinds of groups including those that focus on coping mechanisms and those that deal with the effects of alcohol on your body.
They use contingency management for treating teens. This method rewards kids for good behavior.

A teen who has consistently clean drug tests and gets good grades may be rewarded with a gift card. A group of kids who participate in therapy and provide peer support to other kids may be treated to a movie night or a group dinner. Teens and some adults will also have family therapy sessions in which they can discuss their conditions with their loved ones.
