<p><strong>ABOUT LANCASTER FREEDOM CENTER, INC.</strong></p> <p>Since 1989, the Lancaster Freedom Center, Inc. (LFC) has provided community-based outpatient care for teens, adults, and families struggling with addiction and mental health disorders. </p> <p>Licensed by the state of Pennsylvania and located in Lancaster, Penn., the facility offers <strong>intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and outpatient care</strong> with a variety of specializations. LFC is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">one of 158 facilities in Pennsylvania</a> that offers medication-assisted therapy (MAT) using <strong>Suboxone,</strong> though medical detox is not provided.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The length of treatment varies from one session to several months, depending on the client's needs.</p> <p>The highest level of care is the IOP, which meets three evenings a week for <strong>group therapy, psychoeducation, and one individual therapy session per week.</strong> Clients typically attend at this intensity for between three and six weeks before advancing to the two- to four-week <strong>transition phase,</strong> which prepares them for everyday sober living with two therapy sessions a week. The <strong>aftercare phase</strong>, set for 10 to 15 weeks, features weekly or bi-weekly group therapy, and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a> clients are also required to attend 12-step sessions. All clients are subject to random urine testing throughout treatment.</p> <p>The center offers various targeted outpatient groups throughout the week, such as <strong>men’s and women’s early recovery groups</strong>, a family group, and a group for older clients — <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">one of 101 such programs for older adults in the state of Pennsylvania.</a></p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The center's website notes the program is led by a registered nurse who's also a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). The treatment team also includes a <strong>board-certified physician, master’s-level therapists, and certified addiction counselors,</strong> as well as drug and alcohol consultants experienced in working with children and youth. The two alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date gave LFC a four-star rating and a five-star rating for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p><strong>Both of the alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date would recommend LFC.</strong> Both reviewers gave the facility five stars for its family participation and ability to treat co-occurring disorders, and they variously praised the center's "mix of youthful professionalism and experienced professionals" and its "great team work programs." However, one alum complained of having "too much freedom" — perhaps because, in the assessment of the other alum, Michael, the program is "under staffed."</p> <p>LFC has <strong>polarized reviews on secondary sites</strong> at the time of this writing, with a one-star rating and a five-star rating both left on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> "Practical advice for my issues," wrote five-star reviewer Ahmad in the only piece of accompanying commentary.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to LFC's website, the center is in-network with most private insurers and managed care organizations. The two alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility a four-star rating and a five-star rating for its affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lancaster+freedom+center+lancaster+pa&oq=Lancaster+Freedom+Center+lancast&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57.4766j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89c62492330dcfbd:0xb42d45e31f4d5a07,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
