St. Luke’s Hospital – Sacred Heart Campus is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and provides psychiatric mental health support, dual diagnosis support, and substance abuse treatment. The behavioral health clinic is a specialty department within the Sacred Heart Hospital.

Sacred Heart Hospital- Behavioral Health offers inpatient substance abuse treatment and psychiatric counseling and treatment to men and women.

Sacred Heart Hospital- Behavioral Health’s inpatient program is for those with substance use disorder or who have mental health conditions. It provides a high level of care with 24/7 monitoring to ensure the process of mental, emotional, and physical stability takes place. Those best suited for inpatient programming are 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, behavior modification, and evidence based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. This program also provides walk-in availability for crisis services.

At Sacred Heart Hospital- Behavioral Health, 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 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 two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is 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 the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long term sobriety is achieved.
