Residential Services
For many, the stability and structure of
a residential program can be most beneficial.
A temporary separation from family, job and
the routine of daily life (and its many “triggers”
for alcohol and drug use) promotes health
and recovery. This can be achieved with a
stay for up to four weeks at Livengrin's quiet
campus in Bensalem in lower Bucks County,
PA.
With individual
and group counseling, life-skills training, twelve-step
meetings and balanced nutrition, one learns about
making better choices.
Those in need of medical
detoxification and treatment of withdrawal symptoms
will find a safe environment with professional
medical and nursing staff.
Outpatient Services
There are many individuals needing initial
or ongoing treatment for chemical dependency,
but for whom inpatient services may not be
appropriate. Others may be “moving
forward” to the next step after an inpatient
program. For these people, Livengrin
provides five outpatient centers in Pennsylvania:
Levittown / Lower Bucks County; Doylestown
/ Mid-Bucks County; Northeast Philadelphia;
Fort Washington / Montgomery County; and Allentown
/ Lehigh Valley.
Visit any of these locations and get the
help or information you're seeking. For many
people, the therapeutic process that can address
your problem will be found at a Livengrin
Counseling Center. Click on the link

centers.
All Livengrin Counseling Centers provide
Evaluations and Assessments for a prospective
patient, to determine progression of their disease
and make appropriate recommendation for the level
of care. Appointments are available and recommended.
These services are designed for the patient
requiring a concentrated treatment, who does
not require a residential program. They combine
education on mind/body development during recovery,
group therapy, and a family education & group
component. Length of stay in the program is based
on the individual's clinical needs. Morning or
evening sessions.
Full Day Outpatient
Services combine intensive addiction
treatment, education and individual/group
therapies without an overnight stay.
Intensive Outpatient
Services (IOP) allow the patient
to maintain employment and other necessary
activities, with therapeutic and educational
sessions three times weekly.
General Outpatient
approaches include traditional individual,
group and family therapy, 2-3 hours weekly.
Specialized Outpatient
Programs are available as warranted by
an individual's needs, location and schedule.
These services vary between day and evening sessions,
and by Counseling Center location.

tools needed to stop the use of drugs and/or
alcohol, adjust to group settings, become familiar

fields.
Relapse Prevention
Group Provides insight on the barriers
to recovery and the necessary tools to sustain
recovery.
Transitional Groups Offers

recommended levels of treatment. Augments (not
replaces) the 12-Step meeting format, in men's
and women's groups.
DAAP Pro-active
measures for people whose lives have begun
to be impacted by alcohol or substance abuse.
Provides education on the disease of addiction
and the knowledge needed to evaluate one's
own need for abstinence. Includes 12-step
meetings.
Adolescent
Programs help young adults
and families deal with the challenges of avoiding
drinking and drugs in that difficult time
in life when there is so much pressure to
fit in, “find oneself” and handle
problems at home and in school.
Intervention
Staff consults with those close to a person
who is currently in, or is on the path to,
alcohol and/or drug dependency, and makes
referrals as warranted to appropriate professionals.
Remember, Livengrin creates an individualized
treatment plan for each person, beginning with
the admissions process, and the inclusion of
a patient in any residential or outpatient service
is based primarily on the treatment plan.
