| Specialty Services |
Overview
Although chemical dependency as a whole has many similarities, many of
our patients need specialty programs to deal with the complexities of
today’s rapidly changing environment.
Our specialty services are designed to augment the 12-step process of
recovery and ensure a more successful treatment outcome. These services
include: opiate, pregnant female and dual diagnosis.
Opiate Program
Over the last several years, opiate and
prescription drug addiction have
become an epidemic in the United States. Unfortunately the rate of recidivism
among this population is extremely high. In order to ensure a more
successful treatment outcome BGB has created a comprehensive treatment
milieu that deals specifically with withdrawal symptoms, psychological
and sociological aspects and lifestyle issues associated with opiate and
narcotic addiction.
BGB utilizes state-of-the-art pharmacological interventions to mitigate
the withdrawal symptoms. Detox protocols include: methadone-to-abstinence,
bupronorphene, methadone maintenance. During the rehab phase our counselors
utilize individual treatment plans, specialty groups, lectures, psychiatric
evaluation and the 12 Steps to deal with the psychological, environmental,
lifestyle and spiritual issues attributed to this deadly disease.

Pregnant Female Program
BGB holds the distinction of being one of the a few non-hospital inpatient facilities
to treat opiate dependent pregnant females. Patients can stay for the duration of their
pregnancy and give birth at a local hospital.
Prior to admission medical records must be received by our admission’s department
along with a fetal viability study. Opiate dependent pregnant females will be maintained
on methadone during their stay at BGB. Short-term patients must live within 25 miles
of a methadone program to qualify for admission. In addition to our overall chemical
dependency and psychiatric treatment services, patients receive parenting classes,
nutrition education and support and weekly check-ups. BGB uses a network of postpartum
care providers for discharge planning.
Dual Diagnosis (MISA) Program
Dual Diagnosis short-BGB recognizes that many of our patients suffer from a variety of
psychiatric and psychological problems as well as chemical dependency. BGB is one of the
few licensed dual diagnosis in the state of Pennsylvania. Our dual program offers a
unique and comprehensive approach in the treatment of chemical dependency and psychiatric
disorders.
BGB’s dual diagnosis program includes: mental health groups and lectures, psychiatric
assessment and evaluation, medication management and double trouble meetings. Our
multi-disciplinary treatment team, consisting of master’s level counselors, is headed
by a Board Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in addiction. BGB prides itself on being
able to successfully treat the more complicated dual patient.
