<p><strong>ABOUT WHITE DEER RUN OF WILLIAMSPORT</strong></p> <p>Through multiple facilities located throughout Pennsylvania, White Deer Run provides care for individuals struggling with <strong>substance abuse and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a></strong>. While detox and residential treatment are offered at some of the organization’s centers, the Williamsport facility specializes in <strong>outpatient treatment</strong>. The center is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/PA17.pdf" target="_blank">one of the 256 (51 percent) of Pennsylvania treatment facilities</a> to offer <strong>intensive outpatient treatment (IOP)</strong>.</p> <p>According to White Deer Run’s website, the center believes “substance abuse does not just affect one facet of an individual’s life, but rather that is can affect every aspect of an individual’s existence.”</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, White Deer Run aims to provide <strong>holistic care</strong> that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of each client’s life. Programming is based on <strong><a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-a-non-religious-journalist-makes-a-case-for-aa-in-2017/" target="_blank">12-step principles</a></strong> and utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and reality therapy.</p> <p>It is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/PA17.pdf" target="_blank">one of the 267 (53.2 percent) of Pennsylvania treatment facilities</a> that use rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT).</p> <p>Most <strong>counseling is delivered in a group setting,</strong> but both individual and family therapy are available upon request. Group discussions cover topics including <strong>relapse prevention, coping strategies, relationships, and stress.</strong></p> <p>Clients enrolled in standard outpatient treatment meet two times a week for two hours, and those participating in the intensive outpatient program attend three-hour sessions three times a week.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, treatment at the Williamsport location is administered by primary care therapists and counselors.

One anonymous reviewer gave the program’s treatment effectiveness three out of five stars. “However, there was too little structure and there needed to be more one-on-one focus,” they added.</p> <p>Tracey felt that the program helped her to a degree, but it failed to deliver the one-on-one counseling she needed. “It helped me but they were understaffed to accommodate my needs,” she wrote.</p> <p>Yet, both alumni gave the center four stars when asked if they would recommend White Deer Run and for the center’s affordability.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The three loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing offered mixed reviews of the facility and its programming. One anonymous loved one praised the group and family therapy, but expressed concern over lax security protocols.</p> <p>The other loved ones offered more wholehearted praise. “They do a wonderful job involving family in the whole process,” one wrote representatively. The other respondent noted the “caring service.”</p> <p>All three loved ones praised the center’s staff. One gave five out of five stars when asked about the staff’s level of experience and training, while the other loved ones gave four stars in this category.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole individual to provide feedback to Rehabs.com to date, H.M., noted the “fine therapists and support staff,” but expressed dissatisfaction as an employee. “Upper management views treatment staff as easily replaceable parts…There were many employees who remained dedicated to helping clients despite being under payed and understaffed,” they wrote.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to its website, White Deer Run is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/PA17.pdf" target="_blank">one of the 350 (69.7 percent) of Pennsylvania treatment facilities</a> that accept insurance, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and others.</p>
