ABOUT BEHAVIORAL WELLNESS & RECOVERY

Providing a variety of programs for individuals struggling with substance abuse, Behavioral Wellness and Recovery (BWR) is a rehabilitation center focused on family-centered care, situated in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Clients, along with their friends and family members in their social support networks, participate in personalized treatment plans designed to facilitate healing and prepare them for long-term recovery. Services include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), outpatient (OP), and community-based aftercare programs. BWR does not offer on-site detoxification; however, it maintains strong relationships with local detox centers and assists in facilitating admissions and a seamless transition to BWR programs.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

BWR’s addiction treatments are rooted in evidence-based therapies. Men and women living with the consequences of substance abuse and co-occurring disorders have access to dialectical behavior and cognitive behavioral therapies, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and other holistic practices, including 12-step programs, nutrition, meditation, group counseling sessions, art therapy, and exercise.

PHP represents the highest level of care at BWR. For clients in PHP or IOP, BWR collaborates with sober living homes near the facility to provide accommodation during treatment. In PHP, clients spend several hours each day at BWR engaging in treatment. Select patients in the IOP may continue with work or school while enrolled in BWR’s services. Outpatient programs run seven days a week as individuals progress from an initial assessment of their condition and history into intensive, traditional therapy complemented by positive, sober recreational activities. Specialized care is available for clients with PTSD and substance abuse.

BWR places high importance on involving family members and loved ones in the rehabilitation process, taking into account their role in long-term recovery. Family therapies are offered at all stages of care.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

BWR’s director holds a master’s degree in professional counseling and education. The staff consists of certified alcohol and drug addiction counselors, a psychologist, licensed social workers, professional clinical counselors with master’s degrees, recreation and family therapists. As needed, clients receive on-site services from medical and psychiatric staff.

  • From the very beginning of stepping foot into this program, I felt very comfortable with the natural vibe and environment I was put in. I have been to many programs (unfortunately), but BWR helped me reach a point of no return, to the way I was living before. Without the unceasing support from my therapist , and the healing I received throughout the 6 weeks I was there, I don't know if I'd be still sober today, just for today! BTW, the review about the food, not sure what that person is talking about because the food was well above my standards. Willing to bet that same person was eating out of dumpsters before coming to BWR. Thank you, BWR! For saving my life

  • This program was unlike any I had before, from admissions to discharge the program is one of the best I have ever been to and I have been to quite a few. Thank you BWR!
    DON'T SEND YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR LOVED ONES HERE! There are many places that truly will help treat the fellow addict, that practice and believe in the 12 step program, safe and responsible facilities. If you have a loved one that is an addict, get them the help that they need, but don't send them here because it will only worsen the problem. I am disgusted with the fact that I wasted my money on this program. The men that work in administration are a joke, they lied straight to my face about this "wonderful" program and we are worse off than we were before coming to this disgrace of a facility.

  • BWR is a great place to get help. Having never been to rehab or after care treatment before I didn't know what to expect. They actually listened to my opinions and concerns and I was able to get my life back. I'd recommend to anyone I know who may need help!

  • Amazing recovery experience. Small intimate setting where you aren't just a number. I had tons of individual and family therapy sessions. Way more than any other rehab trip. My counselor included my wife and son in my recovery, creating a life-changing experience for our whole family. I've failed after attending numerous other treatment programs, but now I have sustained sobriety because of this center's approach. Their program is set up for 42 days, all covered by insurance.
    I would recommend BWR to any one in my family or friends family.
    BWR is a first class treatment facility. The team at BWR truly cares abd is extremely dedicated in helping each individual. I strongly recommend this facility!
