About St. Luke’s University Hospital – Bethlehem Campus – Bethlehem
St. Luke’s Psychiatric Associates is a nonprofit health facility. They work with adults who are seeking help for addiction and behavioral health concerns. When you sign up, you’ll have partial hospitalization and intensive and traditional outpatient options. You’ll find ’em located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) exists between inpatient and residential treatment and traditional outpatient care. Clients spend most of the day in treatment at the facility and return home at night. This highly structured and intensive program is ideal for those with severe symptoms. It may include individual, group, and family counseling, relapse prevention, education groups, and relapse prevention training.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP), a step down from PHP, requires clients to meet at the facility on a regular schedule to participate in treatment. IOP typically meets less often and for shorter sessions. Clients can transition into IOP from a higher level of care, but that isn’t a requirement.
The standard outpatient program is the lowest level of outpatient care with the most flexible schedule. It typically meets less often and for shorter sessions than IOP. You’ll have more independence and opportunities to reconnect with your loved ones and community.
In all tracks, you can partake in counseling and medication management. They’ll help you find the right balance between taking prescriptions to control pain and cravings without becoming too dependent on them. That way, there’s less of a chance for a relapse.
The St. Luke University Health Network works with private insurance, but doesn’t list any accepted carriers like Anthem, Beacon, BlueCross BlueShield, and Cigna. Clients are urged to confirm coverage before enrolling, as out of network benefits may vary.
