Detox and Residential Care
Medical withdrawal management (detox) is available as a first step for those who need it. This is supervised 24/7 by nurses, with optional medications for addiction treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Once stabilized, clients can transition directly into residential treatment at the same facility. This phase involves daily group therapy and individual therapy sessions approximately twice a week. Psychiatrists are on-site to provide care for clients with co-occurring mental health conditions.
12-Step and Evidence-Based Therapies
Twelve-step work is foundational to White Deer Run’s treatment plans. This includes peer recovery meetings including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), along with education on 12-step principles. This is paired with evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention counseling, and trauma-informed therapy.
Optional Christian Recovery Track
Clients who want a Christian-centered approach to treatment can choose to participate in faith-based programming. This includes Bible study and other spiritual components such as lectures and education sessions. This recovery track is held alongside evidence-based therapy and 12-step meetings.
Holistic Techniques
Several holistic and creative therapies are offered to complement clinical care. These include massage treatments and yoga, as well as art and music therapy. Drum circles are also held for those that want to participate.
Aftercare and Step-Down Options
Discharge planning begins early in treatment. Staff work with clients to make long-term plans for recovery success that align with personal goals and struggles. This can include setting up stable housing, help with navigating social services, and referrals to outside counseling and mental health support. For clients moving on to outpatient care, White Deer Run has nearby facilities with partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) within the same network.

Quality and Trust
Trust Score
A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.
Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program
This is a federal certification for programs that offer medication like methadone or buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction. It means the center is legally approved to provide this care, follows strict safety rules, and combines medication with counseling to support long-term recovery.
Learn moreHow we research treatment facilities
Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
