The facilities at Avenues Recovery in Lake Ariel and Bucks County, PA, were built with the singular goal of creating a place where people feel at home. This promotes a safe space for clients to concentrate on completing the drug or alcohol treatment program designed especially for them.

Most drug treatment centers in Pennsylvania allow smoking, although not indoors. At Avenues Recovery at Lake Ariel and Avenues Recovery at Bucks County, there are designated outdoor smoking spaces which clients can use between sessions.

Although at Avenues Recovery Pennsylvania it is not the case, sometimes, drug rehab centers are housed in hospital buildings. These centers tend to be more restrictive in regard to smoking. If smoking is a necessity for you or your loved one entering drug and alcohol rehab, that is something to bear in mind when choosing a program.

Generally, the below suggestions are uniform across the country and not specific to a Pennsylvania drug rehab.

• Comfortable, seasonally appropriate clothing
• Alcohol-free toiletries. This includes shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, deodorant, packaged safety razors, shaving cream, toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup remover towelettes, makeup, and hair styling products.
• ID and Insurance Card
• Books and journals

The Avenues drug and alcohol treatment programs in Lake Ariel and Bucks County, PA, are inclusive and welcoming environments. It is important to maintain a respectful atmosphere so that every member of our community feels comfortable and safe. To that end, clients should avoid bringing revealing or offensive clothing like short-shorts, spaghetti straps, strapless tops, or clothing depicting drug/alcohol use, profanity, or gang symbols.

Other things clients should not bring include:

• Electronics not pre-authorized by your treatment team
• Perfume, cologne, or mouthwash- unless clearly labeled “Alcohol Free”
• Weapons of any kind
• Drug paraphernalia
• Valuables- including large amounts of cash, jewelry, or designer goods.

Because the beginning of treatment needs an extra amount of focus, many drug and alcohol rehab programs have a temporary “blackout” period in regard to visitors. This allows clients to acclimate to their new surroundings without any distractions. However, it is eventually important to have visitors, and as clients progress in treatment, counselors and treatment teams will allow and even encourage visitation. Many drug and alcohol centers have family therapy sessions built into the program, where they can take part in counseling sessions with family members in treatment.

“Destination” rehab, although popular, has many disadvantages. Clients in totally new places may feel disoriented and cut off from their families and loved ones. This will affect their focus at treatment, as well as detract from a seamless reintegration upon completing addiction treatment. A big advantage of the Avenues Recovery Pennsylvania drug and alcohol rehab programs is the fact that many of our clients stay in the areas and regions with which they are familiar, resulting in a sense of community-based treatment. Safety and security are paramount to successful stints in drug or alcohol rehab, and being in a familiar environment gives our clients a crucial feeling of stability.

At Avenues Recovery Center in Pennsylvania, we accept people suffering from addiction to drugs or alcohol of any kind. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance and anyone can recover, no matter the level or type of substance abuse disorder they suffer from.

The length of stay at drug or alcohol addiction treatment varies with each patient and with each situation. Almost always, clients will benefit from longer stays. Avenues Recovery believes strongly in extended care programs and our Pennsylvania locations are designed to serve clients for as long as they need.
