Sacred Heart Hospital – Behavioral Health

St. Luke’s Hospital’s Sacred Heart Campus is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and provides primary care, psychiatric mental health support, dual diagnosis support, and substance abuse treatment for youths and adults.

Their inpatient program is for clients with substance use disorders or mental health conditions. It provides a high level of care with 24/7 monitoring to ensure mental, emotional, and physical stability. Those best suited for inpatient programming are those who’re unable to find stability and recover on their own. This program includes individual therapy, couples and family counseling, group therapy, trauma informed therapy, activity therapy, and behavior modification. There’s also cognitive behavioral therapy. This program also provides walk-in availability for crisis services.

Their psychiatric services are provided to ensure the proper diagnosis and care plan. Mental health treatment focuses on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and other challenging psychiatric conditions. Individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy all serve as ways to deliver your mental health support. These services can be administered in an inpatient setting, within an outpatient setting, or at a clinical office.

Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when you have two or more mental health concerns simultaneously. It’s very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both your addiction and mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long term sobriety is achieved.

In addition to inpatient treatment, the facility also offers counseling, recovery-focused education, and life skills training on an outpatient basis. This program supports clients who are ready to live at home while participating in recovery services. Aftercare support includes client linkages to community providers and other departments within St. Luke’s Hospital, including healthcare providers, psychiatrists, peer based support groups, and related resources.

They may be in-network with most commercial insurance providers. Talk to your individual provider to verify your coverage as out of network benefits can vary.
