Full-time Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselors (CASAC) develop a specifically tailored treatment plan for each individual. Daily lectures, self help, group, and individual therapy ensure prescriptive treatment for each patient. Individual continuing care plans are developed with the patient and referral source/collateral agencies in an effort to provide each patient the best opportunity for continued success after discharge. In fact, patients discharged from Delaware Valley’s unit have achieved a substantially higher level of success in complying with their after-care plans than the national average.
