We employ licensed and experienced professionals who have the ability to diagnose and treat addiction as well as mental health disorders.

We’ve helped make it possible to move forward with those stepping stones to achieve sobriety.

ABOUT JUST BELIEVE RECOVERY CENTER

Located in Carbondale, Pa., Just Believe Recovery Center provides a full continuum of treatment services for adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring conditions. Programming includes residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and outpatient treatment (OP). Medical detox is also offered on-site.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Upon admission, clients undergo a thorough evaluation designed to help determine the most appropriate course of treatment. A client-centered treatment plan is crafted, based on this feedback. Those who require medical attention for withdrawal symptoms start with medically assisted detox, which includes counseling, medication management, and holistic treatment.

Once stabilized, clients may transition to the residential program. During this time, clients are introduced to the 12-Steps and participate in a mix of individual, group, and family therapy, all of which utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), rational emotive therapy (RET), and motivational interviewing. Participants also engage in psycho-educational groups and workshops, and are given holistic treatment options, like music therapy, art therapy, and meditation.

Partial Hospitalization is similar in design, but consists of six hours of treatment a day, five days a week. Intensive outpatient and standard outpatient offerings, which are commonly used as step-down treatment options, focus on relapse prevention, and programming can be tailored according to the client’s individual needs.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

According to the facility’s website, the center’s experienced clinical team is led by a licensed mental health counselor. Additionally, the facility staffs registered and licensed nurses and therapists.

ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES

According to The Carbondale News, the facility underwent renovations in May 2015, adding a new kitchen and community dining hall. Clients have access to furnished lounge areas, a game room, and a small exercise room. Residential clients share bedrooms with one other client, and accommodations are fairly hospital-like. Colorful bed linens and curtains, however, help soften features like the facility’s linoleum floor and overhead lighting.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY

The 12 alumni surveyed by Best-rehabs.com provided overwhelmingly strong ratings for this facility, its treatment, and its staff.

While every evaluated category received at least four out of five stars, the highest ratings went to the staff’s level of training and experience, the center’s counseling options, the program’s affordability, and the facility’s cleanliness, which received respective average ratings of 4.66, 4.5, 4.41, and 4.5 out of five stars. “The food was great, the place was immaculate and the groups were so helpful. Everyone was so friendly and they truly did care,” S.F. wrote.

Alumni gave a 4.64-star average rating for the facility’s amenities, but insisted that the treatment was better than the amenities. “Main focus is on treatment and not amenities…I used all the tools their fantastic staff gave me and I love my life now,” J.L. wrote.

Criticism from survey respondents was minimal, but Allison did express some dissatisfaction with the staff. “There were some staff members who were quite closed minded and very belittling…no one had answers on how long my insurance covered…I had medication misplaced numerous times,” she wrote.

On its Facebook page, which Just Believe Recovery Center can manage, it earned a 4.4-star rating from 57 reviews at the time of this writing. Of all reviews, all but 10 offered perfect five-star ratings. Many alumni praised the wide range of treatment options available through the program, and the staff. In a representative review, alum Melissa wrote: “The staff was amazing! They cared about us as people and not just a number. They took the time to talk to me alot and made sure I made it through the program. I came in broken and scared but left a completely diffrent person because of the time they put into me and my recovery.”

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY

Ratings submitted by friends and family members to Best-rehabs.com were also universally high. The six respondents, when asked how likely they were to recommend the facility to others, provided a rating of 4.67 out of five stars. “Just Believe recovery Center Carbondale Pa is extremely qualified to help others with coming to terms with there disease,” C.L.S. wrote.

Loved ones were most impressed with the center’s connectivity/visitor policy and affordability, both of which received a 4.67-star rating. The staff’s level of training and experience also received a strong rating of 4.5 stars. “From security to management everyone takes the time to know the clients to make them feel welcomed, loved & never judged,” C.L. wrote.

WHAT STAFF SAY

In rating their employer, the 12 staff members polled by Best-rehabs.com submitted nothing lower than four out of five stars.

When asked how likely they were to recommend the facility to others, staff provided a rating of 4.92 out of five stars. “As a member of the Just Believe TEAM and having worked for other agency’s in the past, I can say that this facility cares deeply about the treatment that it provides…” C.G. wrote.

Affordability received a rating of five out of five stars among surveyed staff, and cleanliness, family participation, and the staff’s level of training and experience received average ratings of 4.83, 4.5, and 4.5 stars. “This facility doesn’t just talk about the 12 steps, it breaks them down in a workshop like manner making it a very simple & understandable process,” Jeff wrote.

  • Absolutely horrible establishment. Never keep anyone informed on what is going on with a family member. Also my brother overdosed in the facility and they NEVER contacted us we found out through a friend and when we called them to find out where he was they said they would call back and NEVER did. We had to find my brother in the icu by calling a bunch of hospitals and when we went to just believe to get answers they said they had gotten a new system and didn’t have his emergency contact paper on file. They deserve to rot and go through the pain that my family did. Shame on them!!

  • Im thankfully sober now but this place did not help. Sure the food was good the beds were comfortable but I was there for 30 days and did nothing but go on a smoke break every 30 mins. They are inexperienced unprofessional and just incompetent. I wouldn't refer anyone to this place ever. This is life or death stuff here and they don't know what they are doing.

  • I will be honest and say this is the only rehab I've ever been in but also admit because of that I will NEVER choose to do inpatient again! MOST of the techs are amazing loving and generally care, however I feel I did relate to most of them because they are in recovery. My biggest gripe with my personal experience is that my counselor was the ONLY one who wasn't an addict herself and I feel shouldn't even be employed there, I'm not the only one that feels this way also her fellow coworkers share this belief. She barely spoke with me one on one and judged me from before we spoke. Also ALL the websites I read state you have a counselor from detox on which is untrue it's not until detox is over and still may take days/weeks to meet them unless you tell them you want to leave that is, then they care about you oh so much, not really you are just a price tag. They say you can leave whenever you want, "this isn't jail" but they do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to convince you to stay with mulipantion. Their routine is just that routine and very repetitive so you hear the same things in group time and time again. They also separate into small groups with your therapy with your counselor is mainly done, you barely get one on one time. Due to that fact I barely spoke and when I expressed why to my counselor she pretty much said too bad but not in those words. (I didn't feel comfortable opening up in my group setting not just because I knew someone in that group bit this person could give my information to someone else that she was friends with that hates me and that person could and I believe would have used it to keep me from my goal of getting my children back) later, the day I was discharged I was informed my counselor could have been charged. I hadany more issues as well upon discharge I was never given my papers or my meds and had to drive back more than once to get this all because quite a few of my meds were still missing after I went back the first time. The only thing that helped me stay clean was the detox program and myself. I could keep going on about how unorganized this place really is but it doesn't matter really because if you don't comply with what whoever says at the time youll be told no cigg next smoke break, even got to the point if it wasn't your fault too bad no smoke bteak, this is why one of the first questions asked is what is your favorite cigg of the day, pathic

  • My husband just recently was at this rehab facility in PA. The techs at night are horrible he said... I would call the nurses station because their is a seven day block that you can't speak to your loved ones.. I would ask how my husband is doing n they would tell me he's great,he ate,he's sociable,he's standing 20feet from me I will give him a message you called n my husband said the whole time he was Their he received only one message!! Mind you I called everyday for ten days.. when the time came that he can call me theirs no privacy they listen to every word he says.. time limit is exactly 3minutes to speak..my husband has been telling them for days that he doesn't feel right he needs to see a doctor n they said it's ok it's normal mind you he was done with Detox.. My husband is home with a pneumonia can't take no pain meds only Tylenol... Think n think twice about this place in PA. Do your homework I kick myself in the butt that I didn't take him to Marwarth... But trust me if my husband needs help again that is where he will be going as an out patient... that you Just Believe for helping him in detox he's a fighter n will continue fighting.. but you all suck on listening to your patience needs also you all sound height yourselves when answering the phones so keep that in mind when your patience are saying something is wrong with them they don't feel right it doesn't hurt to make sure it's not something else thank you!!!!

  • I enjoyed the people I have met and some of the staff are the sweetest most caring people but there's a good amount of staff that were not helpful in any way as well as being very belittling. I am not one to complain and I made minor complaints throughout my time there and it was as if they either did not care enough to do something about it or they try to turn it on you. One of the techs has the kindest heart and she is the one who truly made me want to stay there but there are some adjustments in the program that need to be made

  • The facility is a very well based 12 step program.They are a fairly new facility in carbondale and every new facility has to work out kinks that what happens when opening a new facility only open over a yr.Overall they are great.If you can get a good.. counselor you are in amazing hands! The techs spend to much time gossiping and on their cell phones.. Overall just believe is a great facility..The owner is an awesome women and..I love these women for all they do..they really care about you...it's just the little things..staff and using their cell phones on duty for personal use..and sharing personal client information by techs to other clients..as I have had a tech tell me things is wrong on all levels.

  • Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the disease process of addiction and help the clients work toward a long term recovery plan. They offer suggestions and solutions to the questions and problems faced in early recovery. They offer clients aftercare programs to help get the ball rolling in beginning a sober lifestyle. They help clients feel safe and supported throughout their journey.
    The best Recovery Center Ive ever been to as a client and worked for as a staff member. The treatment i recieved was so amazing. Most of the staff being in recovery makes it so comfortable to open up. As long as i was willing to help myself there was nothing they weren't willing to do to help me. Ill forever be grateful to Just Believe! Thank you.
    As someone who has went through the recovery center/halfway house connected to the recovery center, I would have to say I definitely received the insight that I needed on addiction and met wonderful people who were extremely determined to stay clean and sober. With that being said, there were some staff members who were quite closed minded and very belittling, especially while I stayed in the halfway house. I did not like the disorganization within the facility, no one had answers on how long my insurance covered once I had gotten there, and I had medication misplaced numerous times.

  • Employees are recovering also. Food is good. They go out of their way to get client into treatment, rides, scholarships. They truly care about their clients from Administration to techs. Not enough activity while in residential not equipped for handicapped or elderly mixed with regular clients ratio of clients to tech is unbalanced. There is massage, chiropractic help, meetings, councilors. and groups. Clients get to go to the lake/park or/and the YMCA for recreation. Smoking outside on scheduled times is allowed. Employees truly care about the client's well being, and are grateful to see clients blossom and get well.

  • Everyone who works there seems to be spiritually, mentally, and physically healthy. They aren't distracted by the business end of things, their only focus seems to on the wellness of patients. It is located within a town, so there is not much in way of nature on the property, they have to leave the property to get out into nature. Best treatment facility I have every worked for. There is a strong sense of community and purpose behind everything they do. This is more than just a rehab. It is a transformative experience.

  • Even before I arrived at Just Believe Recovery Center in Carbondale, I felt relieved that people genuinely cared for me when I couldn’t care for myself. I cannot think of anyone who DIDN’T go above and beyond during my treatment. Their dedication to making sure that all of my needs were met (medical, psychological, nutritional, financial, travel, and safety) allowed me to focus on my recovery. When I had questions or concerns - there was always someone ready with the answer. After completing detox and inpatient, Just Believe was able to accommodate me with their Sober Living and Out Patient services as well assisting me in connecting with local 12 Step meetings. Even though this was my first experience with alcohol and drug rehab, I am confident in saying that Just Believe Recovery Center of Carbondale is one of, if not the best opportunities if you want to start a new way of living clean and sober.

There is always someone other then tech. staff on duty and nurse is available 24/7 if a client needs to talk or has a medical concern. I think more one one one counseling is preferred by the clients JBRC n Carbondale pa is a very fair & honest program, the staff is either in recovery themselves or has had family members in recovery. our main job as techs are to observe & report but just as important is the experience strength & hope the staff offers.From security to management everyone takes the time to know the clients to make them feel welcomed, loved & never judged.

However the warmth of the staff makes up for it. This facility doesn't just talk about the 12 steps, it breaks them down in a workshop like manner making it a very simple & understandable process. Many people make statements like "Who, I never heard anybody put it like that!"
