Water Gap Wellness Center

About Water Gap Wellness Center – East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Water Gap Wellness has substance use and co-occurring disorder treatment facilities in several states, including their facility in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The programs they offer are accredited by The Joint Commission, and they accept most major insurance carriers. Currently, the facility offers partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and drug rehab programs. It should be noted that they’re soon adding detox and residential programs.

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) takes a holistic, individual approach to treatment. The goal is to recalibrate your mind while restoring balance to your body and spirit through outdoor experiences and clinical sessions. The PHP is for clients with a substance use disorder, primary mental health diagnosis, or a dual diagnosis condition.

The program benefits clients needing comprehensive structured support to transition back to independence. You’ll meet six days a week for six hours per day. You’ll have group sessions and two private counseling sessions each week. Through therapy and education, you’ll develop better coping mechanisms while learning valuable life skills such as budgeting, time management, and medication management.

During therapy sessions, you’ll use evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). You’ll identify the situations that trigger you to drink or use so you can work through those core issues. Many people use substances as a coping mechanism to numb themselves from painful trauma or other issues. Once you’ve identified these issues, you’ll be better able to live a sober, more fulfilling life.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a less intense program than the PHP. You can take advantage of the housing option or commute to treatment while living at home. The IOP includes CBT, psychotherapy, and medication management. You’ll work on many of the same skills as you would in the PHP.

They have an inn at Water Gap for clients who might not have a place to stay. It’s a few miles away from the center and offers many amenities.
