White Deer Run - New Perspectives

White Deer Run New Perspectives treats addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions with detox, residential care, and outpatient programs. Clients can seamlessly transition through levels of care and back into independent living. White Deer Run New Perspectives provides a host of group therapies, family therapy, and weekly 1:1 counseling to help clients form coping skills and address the root cause of their addiction.

Evidence-Based Group, 1:1, and Family Therapy

White Deer Run New Perspectives uses multiple evidence-based therapies and approaches to address addiction and co-occurring conditions. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing techniques, rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and trauma-informed therapy. They also incorporate 12-Step teachings and peer recovery meetings. Other group therapies include twice-weekly gender-specific groups, relapse prevention groups, community meetings, and transition groups. Clients attend 3-5 groups a week, or 8 groups weekly if they’re receiving dual-diagnosis treatment. Loved ones are also welcome to attend weekly family therapy.

Tailored Care for Addiction and Dual Diagnoses

Clients begin treatment with an initial psychiatric assessment. This determines if medication management or medication-assisted treatment (MAT) would be a good fit in their recovery journey. White Deer Run New Perspectives’ staff oversee the detox process, including psychiatrists, nurses, masters-level therapists and counselors, and social workers. All collaborate to attune treatment to each client’s unique treatment plans and needs. To further individualize treatment, they treat co-occurring depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Outpatient Treatment at White Deer Run

White Deer Run New Perspectives has several outpatient programs, including day treatment (or partial hospitalization), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and general outpatient/aftercare. Their day treatment program provides 6 hours of care daily, 4 days a week. Clients continue to receive 1:1 counseling twice weekly and can meet twice monthly with their psychiatrist, as needed. In IOP, clients attend treatment 3 days weekly, 3 hours a day. Evening and day programs offer greater flexibility. In general outpatient, clients attend therapy once or twice a week.
