<p><strong>ABOUT CLARION PSYCHIATRIC CENTER</strong></p> <p>For more than 25 years, Clarion Psychiatric Center has delivered care to individuals with psychiatric, behavioral, and/or emotional issues. Located on a 14-acre campus in northwestern Pennsylvania, roughly 90 minutes north of Pittsburgh, the facility provides <strong>inpatient treatment</strong> to adults, adolescents, and children. It also has partial hospitalization programs (PHP), a modality offered by <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/PA17.pdf" target="_blank">15 percent</a> of all treatment facilities in the state.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to Clarion Psychiatric Center's website, all <strong>treatment plans are individualized</strong>. Whether in treatment for anxiety, depression, paranoia, extreme anger and aggression, or another emotional difficulty, treatment plans emphasize the replacement of destructive behaviors and habits with <strong>healthy coping and life skills</strong>. Clients may undergo psychosocial, nursing, and <strong>psychiatric assessments and evaluations</strong> upon entry.</p> <p>Clarion’s <strong>Adult Inpatient Program</strong> is designed for individuals with moderate to severe behavioral health disorders. Over the course of their stay, ranging from a few days to a few weeks in length, adults are educated on the long-term effects of alcohol and drug use, attend <strong>individual</strong> and <strong>group therapy</strong> sessions, and plan for discharge. A weekly <strong>Family Education Group</strong> is available for loved ones.</p> <p>Offering many similar services, the <strong>Child and Adolescent Program</strong> takes place in separate, <strong>age-specific units</strong>. Children attend <strong>psychoeducational groups</strong> addressing topics such as <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-understanding-anger-revolutionizes-addiction-recovery/" target="_blank">anger management</a> and coping skills, and are given ample time for recreation, art, and music and play therapy through Clarion’s <strong>Allied Therapy Program</strong>. In a separate education wing designated for school, <strong>certified special education teachers</strong> lead children’s classes. For children and teens who do not require inpatient treatment, the <strong>PHP track</strong> offers on-campus programming on weekdays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Clarion’s large treatment team includes <strong>several board-certified psychiatric physicians</strong>, as well as registered nurses, a licensed clinical social worker, and others with advanced degrees.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Clarion's website indicates that the <strong>74-bed facility</strong> features classrooms, a large cafeteria with a salad bar, and <strong>shared bedrooms</strong> decorated with colorful bedding and wall art. There’s also an <strong>indoor gym</strong> and playground outdoor, where adults and adolescents regularly receive time for recreation. <strong>Smoking is permitted</strong> in a designated enclosed courtyard.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The single anonymous alum surveyed by Rehabs.com to date considered the “people” a facility strength, and the “staff” its primary weakness.</p> <p>On Google<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>, Clarion Psychiatric Center earned an average rating of <strong>2.8 out of five stars</strong> based on 27 reviews.
