Geisinger Marworth Treatment Center

Treatment combines medical care, therapy, family, and practical support

Inpatient care can include withdrawal management, MAT, individual and group therapy, and care for substance use alongside other mental health disorders. Other treatment approaches may include nutrition education, relationship-focused groups, and recreational therapy, and the facility offers a family program. Treatment goals and milestones are established for each patient, and progress is monitored daily so that care can be adjusted as needed. Staff begin discharge planning early, recommending lower levels of care within the organization, community resources, and ongoing MAT when appropriate.

Clients can step down to lower levels of care as their needs change

In addition to 24/7 inpatient treatment, Marworth also offers a partial hospitalization program, an intensive outpatient program, and outpatient treatment. Outpatient services may include in-person and telehealth visits, allowing people to receive treatment while meeting work, school, or family obligations.

Specialized programs for healthcare and uniformed professionals

Marworth also has dedicated programming for healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and other clinicians, as well as police officers, firefighters, and other first responders. Treatment can focus on the specific challenges of returning to these professions. The facility works with the parties involved in the client’s care to develop a treatment plan for transitioning from treatment to recovery and, when appropriate, back to work. These specialized treatment tracks are integrated into inpatient treatment alongside other approaches to care.

Recreation therapy as a structured part of treatment

Activities are led by certified therapeutic recreation specialists, and the 27-acre campus offers a wide range of features. Team problem-solving activities and trust exercises give clients opportunities to practice asking for help, cooperating with others, and building confidence. The facility offers a range of on-site activities, including a 30-foot-high climbing wall, a ropes course, a zip line, a giant’s ladder, and a 9-hole disc golf course. Clients also have access to a fitness center, yoga and aerobics, and team sports. Those who prefer more creative activities can participate in music therapy or arts and crafts. Meditation, nature activities, and other social activities are also available.
