Pathway to Recovery Counseling and Educational Services

Pathway to Recovery Counseling and Educational Services At Pathway to Recovery, we provide tools & guidance to schools and community spaces by addressing addiction, mental health, and healthy coping strategies.

We offer in-person and outpatient recovery services, as well as mental health support. Clinical Services:

Evaluation

The possibility that alcohol or other drug problems exist often creates anxiety, fear and frustration. "Is the problem there or isn’t it?" "How serious is it?" "What can I do?" The evaluation process helps to answer all those questions and gives clear answers to what is wrong, what can be done to help and where help can be found. Individual Counseling

The most basic and frequent service offered, individual counseling, gives a chance to meet with a counselor one on one. Here people come to work on their own problems with drugs and alcohol, or the problems being faced by someone they love. Family & Marital Therapy

The problems created by alcohol or drugs hurt more than just the person who uses them. Everyone in the family can be hurt. Our family specialists help restore the balance every family needs and wants. Addiction Education Group

This group is designed to provide information on the process of addiction as it relates to the client and his/her family. Strictly for educational purposes, this group focuses on the signs of chemical dependency, the stages of addiction and resources and support networks for both the chemically dependent individual and family members. Gender Specific Groups

Men and women have problems or concerns that can be most effectively addressed in gender specific groups (groups of all men or all women). We offer both groups to address such issues as relationships, anger, abuse, co-dependency, parenting, self-esteem, body image, socializing sober and taking care of oneself. Life Skills Group

This is designed for individuals who are starting part of their lives over because of addiction, incarceration or divorce. This group focuses on skills necessary to develop healthy lifestyles. Topics discussed include communication skills, feelings, setting and achieving goals, living within laws and norms, independent living, critical thinking, personal, social responsibilities, relationships and employment skills. Relapse Prevention Group

Because of the cunning and baffling nature of addiction, the best intentions of remaining sober sometimes fail. The Relapse Prevention Group is for people who have tried to stay sober and who have not succeeded. In this supportive therapy group the signs and symptoms of relapse are studied and talked about and the steps to preventing relapses are learned. Adult Partial Hospitalization Program "PHP"

The Pathway To Recovery "PHP" is designed to provide the structure and intensity of inpatient rehabilitation in an outpatient setting. People whose problems are too severe to help in traditional individual or group outpatient treatment benefit from this extra level of care. With PHP treatment, individuals and families receive the care they need without disruption to home, work or school. Referrals

Sometimes problems are too severe for outpatient treatment, and inpatient care is the only option. Pathway To Recovery has referral agreements with a number of excellent inpatient treatment centers throughout Pennsylvania. We are also often able to help explore funding if no insurance is available. Hotline

Drug & Alcohol problems never wait for convenient times to happen. Pathway To Recovery is part of a network for information and referral anytime day or night by dialing our local number or by calling the HELP LINE at 1(888)829-1341. Employee Assistance Programs

Hundreds of billions of dollars are lost annually to industries because of drug and alcohol use on the job. The costs of poor work, employee turnovers, damaged goods, accidents, sick leave, insurance claims, lost customers, late deliveries and more. An important service to both employers and their employees, the EAP programs result in improved performance and prosperity in the workplace for everyone. To help combat this serious problem, Pathway To Recovery offers the following services to area businesses and industries:

Employee information on the dangers of using alcohol and drugs. Supervisory and management training on identifying employee problems and referring for help. Drafting company policies and procedures to deal with drug use and abuse. Outpatient treatment, evaluations and referrals for employees and their families. Payment

We accept most major insurance for payment of services and maintain a sliding fee scale for persons with no insurance. Conflict Mediation
Mediation is one of several approaches to conflict resolution that uses a "third party" intermediary to help the disputing parties resolve their conflict. Our mediators are trained to facilitate discussions and allow the parties to work out their own solution to the problem. Mediation has been used successfully in many different kinds of conflicts. It is widely utilized (and very successful) in the United States and elsewhere for handling divorce and child custody cases. It is also commonly used for other kinds of interpersonal disputes (such as disputes between neighbors, roommates, or co-workers) labor-management disputes, community disputes, environmental disputes, and international disputes. Consulting Services

Pathway To Recovery provides consulting services to other drug and alcohol facilities, mental health centers, business and industry as well as to educational institutions, service clubs and community groups. Our consulting services help organizations that want to become more aware of substance abuse problems and ways of addressing them. We assist in designing documentation and preparedness for licensing inspections. DUI Program

Pathway To Recovery provides a full range of DUI services from Court Reporting Network (CRN) Evaluation, Alcohol Safe Driving School, Multiple Offender Programs and Counseling. Referrals come through the individual’s County DUI Central Intake center. Education & Prevention

The Prevention Department provides educational services to schools and the community to increase awareness of issues involving Alcohol, To***co & Other Drugs (ATOD), and consults with all Student Assistance Program (SAP) teams in each of the schools throughout Lower Luzerne County, providing individual assessments and/or educational support group services for selected students. Employee Assistance

Unrecognized and untreated substance abuse problems affect the entire workplace. Substance impaired employees are less productive, use more sick time and have more accidents than employees without the problem. Worse, most impaired employees have been on the job an average of seven years before the problem grows to the point that it’s obvious to everyone. They are trained and were at one time productive and contributing to the success of the business. Employee Assistance Programs save jobs and increase the health and productivity of the entire workplace. Among the services we offer are:

Managerial training for plant supervisors. Topics include: early recognition, documentation, response and referral procedures. Employee evaluations and recommendations. Evaluation and referral services for the employees’ families. On site consultation for employee related concerns. Confirmation of attendance at counseling reports for Human Resource Departments. Policy writing assistance for compliance with Drug Free Workplace requirements. Pay envelope enclosures with prevention and treatment availability information for employees and their families. On or off site smoking cessation programs for employees and their family members. Medication Assisted Therapy

Alcoholism and drug addiction are medical diseases, not moral failures. Most who struggle with addiction have tried to gain control over their behavior or simply stop using many times. Medications can be part of the answer for some. While they do not take away the problem, they can reduce the cravings, giving treatment a better chance to work. ALCOHOLISM

Rescheduling Ma*****na sends the wrong message to our youth. Instead, just allow research without the rescheduling. We see the cost from THC use, with increased student anxiety and paranoia.

🌟 Today is the Great American Smokeout! 🌟
There’s no better day than today to take the first step toward a healthier, stronger you. Every cigarette not smoked, every v**e not used, is a win for your lungs, your heart, and your future. 💪💙

Quitting isn’t easy—but neither are the things worth doing. Whether it’s your first attempt or your fifteenth, today is a reminder that you are capable of change. One choice. One hour. One day at a time.

If you’re thinking about quitting, cheering someone on, or restarting your journey—today is for YOU. ✨
Let’s support each other and breathe a little easier together. 💛

✨ The Great American Smokeout is tomorrow, November 20th! ✨
There’s no better time to take that first step toward quitting smoking or va**ng. Even one day tobacco-free is a win — and every step after gets you closer to a healthier, stronger you. 💪💙

Benefits of quitting start almost immediately:
🚭 20 minutes: Heart rate and blood pressure drop.
🚭 24 hours: Your body starts clearing out leftover smoke and carbon monoxide.
🚭 2 weeks–3 months: Breathing gets easier and circulation improves.
🚭 1 year: Your risk of heart disease is cut in half.
🚭 Long-term: Lower cancer risk, healthier lungs, more energy, better sleep, and more money in your pocket!

Quitting va**ng brings benefits too — fewer headaches, better focus, easier breathing, and freedom from the cravings that take over your day.

If you or someone you love has been thinking about quitting, tomorrow is the perfect time to start. Small steps add up, and you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

You’ve got this. 🌟

🌟 Grade 3 – Lesson 2 at Lee Park: Decision Making 🌟

In lesson 2, students are learning how to make healthy choices by practicing decision making. We encourage them to STOP and THINK before acting so they can consider all their options. 🧠✨

📝 At-Home Activity:
Read each scenario with your child. Together, come up with two possible options and brainstorm the positive and negative consequences of each choice. Finally, have your child check off which option they would choose.

This activity helps students slow down, weigh their choices, and build the confidence to make thoughtful decisions in everyday life. 💡

🌟 Grade 4 – Lesson 3 at Lee Park (Hanover): Emotions 🌟

This week in the Too Good for Drugs program, students are learning about emotions—why it’s important to identify how we feel and how to manage those feelings in healthy ways. Understanding emotions is a key part of building strong social and emotional skills that help kids succeed in school and life. 💡💙

📝 At-Home Activity:
With your child, start at the bottom of the thermometer and imitate each facial expression together. As you do, talk about what emotion you feel when making that face. Then, choose one emotion and work together to answer the reflection questions below.

This is a fun way to practice noticing emotions, building empathy, and learning strategies to manage feelings! 🌈
