Horrible place! Don't go here. Zero stars! Staff is the worst. A guy had a seizure and they manhandled him onto a stretcher after he fell and hit his head and complained of back pain. There's no real treatment done there. Upon discharge I was rushed out the door on a Sunday morning. The building is so old , they are cosmetically making it look newer but underneath it's ancient. I saw patients hit others with canes and be allowed to stay. Bottom line. It's the worst I've ever seen. Food is terrible. Don't go there , and please don't send your loved ones here.

Its a shame how these places that are suppose to be professional for jobs requiring master degrees or higher. I had several interviews canceled due to scheduling conflicts with them. Finally I had an interview and it seemed disorganized but I went through with it anyway. I asked several times if I am not a candidate please let me know. I was told by several persons that they always contact candidates either way. They were not the only job I applied to so if they choose someone it would be fine. I never received a call, email, text or smoke signal concerning if they chosen another candidate or not. I emailed them to get an update and crickets. I never heard anything back. I am truly glad I did not get the job due to the poor ratings I seen on various search engines. I did not want to work for a company who lacks basis communication skills! No matter if you are a nurse, tech, or clinician run!

Questions & Answers

I don't want him to back out of going there because he can't smoke usually rehab facility allows smoking because they are quitting drugs and that's all they have to help them so I don't understand I was told this is a great facility

Yea, almost every rehab/detox has banned smoking at this point which truly makes no sense.It is asinine, that is all people have left when they kick. I was at Valley Forge when you could smoke like 20 years ago and it was fine. If I recall, the food was good.

I need to detox from alcohol and I take clonazepam. My addiction Dr doesn't want me to go off the clonazepam until I'm off the alcohol, will this be a problem?

Susan Wright | Oct 12, 2018
Rob Paci | Nov 15, 2021

No not a problem but th e clonopin can get a little rough. Make sure you are under a Dr. Care. PS Hang in there its doable

If there's a bed available, people in the admissions department will work with your insurance company to get you some treatment. Many clients come in with welfare insurance. Clients are either detoxing from drug/alcohol abuse or are looking for longer term rehabilitation from the disease or both. Often, the treatment you receive is contingent upon what you're insurance will pay. Sometimes the admissions specialists are able to acquire county funding for you if you have nothing else and it is available. I really like working here and it is, in my opinion, an excellent program and facility to begin or continue your recovery journey.

My son has been accepted there he is supposed to be there by 7pm tonight, he is scared because he was told you can't smoke there and is worried and thinking about not going ,he needs help desperately usually

Colleen Giorgi | Oct 12, 2019

Hi Colleen, We know how tenuous it is to enter a program to end substance abuse. And the many fears that an individual has when accepting help. We are Tobacco Free as of 12/31/18, but that doesn’t mean he can’t get into Recovery. We are finding that nicotine replacement therapies are helping with withdrawal management better than having someone smoke and try to detox from their substance of choice. Smoking refires the pathway in the brain that the addiction they are trying to end has been triggering. With help, counseling and the patch patients are finding the withdrawal process much easier. Against popular beliefs, stopping smoking at time of treatment helps give a better chance at long term time in recovery. Please call admissions if you have concerns.

Does the facility offer Vivitrol before you leave? Or help set you up to receive it? Husband is off opiates in hospital on methadone and being transferred. Looking to taper off and try the shot.

Kristen Pannella | Oct 12, 2018
Elizabeth McCarty | Oct 12, 2018

Vivitrol is an option at Valley Forge Medical Center. Your health insurance would pick up the cost, or explore options with your counselor.

If someone wants to admit themself into alchol rehab will they be turned away if they do not have the co-pay at the time?

Georgette Scotchell | Oct 12, 2018
Valley Forge Medical Center | Oct 12, 2018

Hi Georgette, please call in and let Admissions know your situation. They will work with you and your copay responsibility. It is best to call before coming to assure there is a bed available and we can work with your insurance provider.

Each individual is evaluated at admission. Depending on length of use and amount of daily use the taper will be determined for the most comfortable stabilization to start Recovery.

My case manager talked to your facility today & said there was no beds available but they would notify me when they had one. I called tonight and admissions said I just have to call back everyday. There isnt a waiting list & why cant you notify me?

Casey Buck | Oct 12, 2018
Valley Forge Medical Center and Hospital | Oct 12, 2018

Thank you for your question. Today there aren't enough beds available for the demand in SE PA. We typically have several dozens requests a day for admission to our program. We have found that a daily check in for a bed allows us to provide a bed to an individual ready to enter recovery. We can't call back all inquiries because so many variables play into coming in for treatment. Stay motivated and you will successfully find your path to lasting recovery.
