Residential Treatment on a Resort-Style Campus

Brookdale is located in Scotrun, Pennsylvania, on a private, 100-acre lakeside property in the Pocono Mountains. With separate spaces for detox, treatment, and living areas, the facility offers a calm, structured environment designed to reduce distractions and support meaningful progress. Clients begin care in a 24/7 supervised detox unit, where medications for addiction treatment (MAT) may be used to support safe withdrawal. The campus’s peaceful design helps clients move through care with clarity and focus.

Individualized Therapy and Extended Support

Brookdale provides individual therapy in its Signature Program, which emphasizes privacy and one-on-one engagement. Clinicians also offer assessments related to mental health and nutrition, helping clients better understand how physical and emotional wellness are connected. Brookdale treats a range of mental health needs, including symptoms related to trauma, depression, gambling, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Discovery365â„¢ program provides virtual follow-up care for one year after discharge, helping people stay connected to support while rebuilding their lives.

Focused Tracks for Veterans, First Responders, and Professionals

Specialized tracks include the Stars & Stripes program, which offers trauma-informed care for veterans and first responders in a peer-supported setting. The Signature Program also provides additional privacy and flexibility for professionals balancing recovery with outside responsibilities. These tracks reflect Brookdale’s effort to provide care that fits with each client’s background, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Amenities That Encourage Movement and Ease

The facility’s layout includes indoor and outdoor pools, a fully equipped fitness center, and courts for basketball, tennis, and volleyball. Clients can walk forested trails, gather around firepits, or reflect by the lake—spaces that promote movement, social connection, and peace. Private and semi-private rooms, including executive suite options, offer quiet rest in between structured programming.

Patient Reviews: Life-Changing Support, but Mixed Experiences

Patients often describe Brookdale as life-changing, crediting the facility with helping them achieve sobriety when other programs failed. The clinical and nursing staff receive consistent praise for their compassion and professionalism. Alumni highlight the strong aftercare planning, scenic campus, and recovery tools they still use in daily life. However, some reviews raise concerns about administrative practices. Recurring complaints include limited phone access, inconsistent detox experiences, and a sense of being pressured into longer stays. While many patients feel fully supported and respected, others have cited rigid policies and a lack of transparency. These mixed reviews suggest that while the core treatment experience is often strong, the administrative side may not work for everyone.
