Caron’s mission is to transform lives impacted by drug and alcohol addiction through proven, evidence-based, comprehensive and personalized behavioral healthcare. At Caron, we understand that addiction is complex – as complex as the people and families it affects. Physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions all play a role in substance abuse disorders. That’s why Caron doesn't just treat drug and alcohol problems, but every related issue that patients and their families face. More than just a rehab center, Caron is a leading provider of integrated behavioral health treatment.

Very, very, very disappointed with Caron. They gave my child (who has co-occurring disorders and who has battled drugs and alcohol) an inexperienced therapist with less than one year of field experience. Forget that they did not take any insurance and deceived me about how I might be reimbursed. My child (25) ran circles around this young therapist and totally hoodwinked her. Needless to say, a waste of 30 days and $40K. They also were very unhelpful in the supposedly fabulous 'family program.' Lesson learned too late.

N/A

The Caron Foundation was a horrible choice for a prescription drug (benzo) addiction. Admission staff misrepresented how withdrawal would be managed comfortably, staff were unable to manage withdrawal side effects, and the attending refused to contact my physician for guidance with meds. The physician at Caron did not listen when I told him that the meds he was using would not work for me, and I was ignored. I was unable to sleep my entire time at Caron and had to leave to get proper medical and withdrawal care elsewhere. Staff was cruel during the night when I could not sleep. My so-called therapist was on vacation, and I needed support which I did not receive. No one should be withdrawn from a benzo in two weeks time. I have learned quite a bit since my admission, and Caron was an ineffective and harmful place. It caused me PTS, and it is no place for an adult recovering from cancer and a resulting prescription drug addiction that a physician caused. Please note, I have not touched a benzo since, even thought my doctors are okay with it. Not everyone is an addict, treatment should be individualized, nor should all patients be treated the same with a "cookie cutter" approach. I cannot recommend Caron. I almost lost my life because of how poorly they treated me both medically and emotionally. Please check more than one place and get more than one opinion before admitting yourself into a rehab like Caron. This was my mistake, and I learned after the fact, that my withdrawal did not have to feel like torture and cause trauma.

I was recently a patient at the Wernersville location for three weeks, and was forced to cut my stay short due to negligence by the medical staff. Of the 21 days I was in treatment, there were 8 separate medicine mistakes! Specifically, my medicine was all or part missing on these occasions. I met with supervisors regarding these incidents on two, separate occasions who showed no empathy and the mistakes shockingly continued. If you are currently being treated with medicine and are considering a stay at Caron, please reconsider. It is not safe!

Caron saved my life. The care I received while the was compassionate, kind, loving and tough - which is exactly what I needed The staff; from admissions to the counselors, the counselor assistants, the kitchen servers and drivers; is by far the best and from what I witnessed, each loved working for Caron.. Caron gave me the tools to build a solid foundation . These tools are key to my recovery and I utilize them each and every day. Yes, they are expensive, but I totally got what I paid for and then some. They do offer scholarships to those in financial need - you just have to ask, After care and alumni relations are top notch. I would recommend Caron to anyone who needs help and asks.

Caron is a top notch treatment center. I was a patient there and the knowledge and care I received couldn't be better. There is a solution to addiction for those who want it with all their hearts and minds. If one wants recovery the miracle can occur.

So I feel it is a responsibility to weigh in on Caron Treatment Center. Our loved one (20 yr old male) had developed a very high level opioid pill addiction as well as major heavy weed issue. He had been living outside our home - by our request - from the time of HS graduation. When after 3 yesr he told us he needed help and had an addiction, we had the card ready and when he came by our house (having been homeless for 2+ months) we handed him a Caron intake phone number and said "if you are serious, call them". He made the call and the resistance to the challenge and program began near immediately. He threatened to leave Caron PA and never did...he made it through the 30 days and was honest but mostly uncommunicative while there. On the last day, he agreed to go to an extended care (Caron Florida). Much tougher and challenging for the addict I understand. We visited with him 2 months in for 24 hours and still fighting resisting and slowly very slowly coming around a bit. It can take a while for 6 years of mental and physical dependence on drugs begin to allow more clear drinking. My wife and I had been attending a Caron Family support meeting in our local community for over a year before our son came home and asked for help. We knew we had a sick patient, who would not even acknowledge he was ill. So when he did make that statement - we were prepared. We listened to Caron suggestions and followed their program. We had to work on our own addictions and co-dependency as a family and that was obvious. We have 2 other college aged kids who witnessed the carnage that addiction delivers to a family. Our experience is that Caron has helped us as a family heal tremendously. Our loved one continues on in Florida and even extended a bit to work on some areas that he acknowledged were needed. We dont work his sobriety program - he does....we just work on our own health. Caron is very challenging and at times the process of addiction recovery is frustrating. I don t lay that at Caron, its just messy stuff. We are not cars that just need an air filter to run better - we are people and lots of damage has been done. You do not undo year's of damage in 3-90 days, but you begin to.....that is the key.....I wish you the best on your family journey and would give Caron an A. Why.....they gave him a shot, an education, and some hope....much of the rest is up to him. That is the reality people.

The best thing about Caron is the 5 day assessment. It enables a person to get a loved one in without thinking about a 28 day commitment. The counseling is fair however, the family education program provides necessary information about what addiction is and how it acts as an allergy or sickness. Additionally, the FEP open dialog among those involved. It falls short In that they provide no closure after 5 days of conflict with no conflict resolution or bringing together families to discuss or come to some helpful closure. Instead, when program is completed you leave and your love one is left behind wondering what next. Which comes to the second major issue, caron fails extremely short on suggestions for what next... while I understand the need to provide facitlies used in the past. They do not help in thinking or asking about alternatives. In our case, it became a one suggestion fit all. Terribly upsetting when you are in the business of healing and fall short on the next steps. We went to caron because of their past reputation. However, after researching next steps not provided by caron. There are other great treatment centers out there willing to work the whole process. Do your research and do rely on reputation alone. Caron lets the ball drop at a crucial time. .

I've spent 3 months in this rehab and it be good and bad. Like everything in life. However, If you are a female , sophisticated, functioning alcoholic professional this is not the place for you. It is more like a juvenile detention home. Perhaps this is happenibg in rehabs across the world. Due to the heroin Epidemic there is an increasing amount of young females going into recovery. The breakdown is - they shouldn't be all grouped together. For a more mature female it actually worsens the pride and self worth of the patient. Sad, but more concentration needs to be looked at in treating addiction in different ways. Peace.

Excellent family program. They encouraged me to attend additional treatment in Florida instead of going back to work. This was costly financially and detrimental to a full recovery in the place where I had friends, family and a job. This was a very good rehab. There were a lot of boring lectures during which I slept. Would have preferred more group therapy.

This facility saved my life. It\'s different from other residential treatment programs. They provide intensive individual and group therapy, multiple AA meetings a day and incredibly individualized care. The extended care here is where the program shines and extended care immersed me into the program of AA. The therapists here are superb. I found the facility to be antiquated but what you\'re paying for is the treatment, not the amenities. Overall I credit Caron for starting me on the path of sobriety. I now work in treatment myself and have achieved long term sobriety.

I was extremely disappointed in the judgement and the lack of professionalism with the staff. They appeared ill equipped to handle the emotions of a young person going through withdrawal and failed to take into account past history when assigning a therapist. When my family member left we were more confused and hopeless and helpless than when they entered. Luckily, we found professionals who were more familiar with, not only addictive behavior, but mental health diagnoses as well. I believe Caron has coasted on their reputation from decades ago, but the lack of competency is now catching up.

This is a wonderful rehab center. Daughter went through YAF for 30 days came home and immediately wanted to go back. She called herself and they took her for 10 days and then referred her to a sober house. They had wanted her to go through WEC for three months after her 30 days but she would not go. Came home after two months and relapsed with alcohol on her way home. She went back to WEC for three months and that was the best three months of her life in the last two years. She learned so much-as we did. She is now back in college getting a second degree and living in a sober college apartment setting that Caron recommended. So many comments talk about how Caron only wants your money and how they always recommend extra stay there. There is a REASON. They are the professionals and they know what is best. My daughter regrets not listening to them when they referred WEC but everything happens for a reason. She was with a wonderful home of women and great counselors. I would recommend Caron in a heartbeat. I do believed they saved our daughter and put her back on the right road. they also saved us. Thank you to everyone at Caron.

I believe Caron is a very good facility for some people. I do believe they are considered one of the best based on past experiences, ratings, reviews. I do not think that they are the best now ,by any means. My loved one arrived in a very vulnerable and scary place. The first issue that really threw him/us was that he was assigned a room, counselor, hall ,and my LO was becoming acclimated and then suddenly, they said they had put him in the wrong place and he was moved. Not a great start for an addict looking for some stability and a very significant sign of lack of communication and organization. The facility itself is very nice and set in a pretty area of PA, definitely conducive to peace and quiet. I liked the family seminar we went to on one of our Sunday visitations...very informative and helpful. The greatest downfall for all of us was that my LO had a very pleasant counselor certainly, but very new and that just doesn\'t cut it when you\'re paying almost $40,000 for a 28 day stay. No one at this facility should be a new counselor and if they\'re new to that facility, they need to shadow someone for at least a month in order to understands the workings of the place. This person was very, very \"green\" and it showed in everything he/she did.In fairness, I don\'t believe my loved one went there with a true burning desire to get well, which certainly affects the experience, however I do feel that with excellent counseling and personalized attention, he may have had a better chance at recovery. They recommend their extended stay program to everyone which is to the tune of $45,000 and at the time my LO was there, they took little to no insurance. I just felt that the price and the quality of the product were not commensurate at all.

Excellent food and accommodations. Great gym and physical environment. Treatment was awful. They recommended the same after care for everyone, which consisted of several months at one of their other treatment facilities which charges an additional 30k a month. They used manipulative tactics to try and get us to agree to their after care and then claimed I was resisting treatment if I suggested aftercare somewhere else. Very manipulative, very unethical.

Well qualified counslers, doctors, follow up, strict but effective, heart wrenching, eye opening, much needed, well supervised parent week. Not long term care in Pennsylvania. We tried to send our son to rehab months earlier. Every other rehab we contacted was hard sell and kept calling us. Caron would send text periodically to check in and see if we were okay. Never did they tell us we had to come or what the consequences would be if we did not. All of their counslers were at least bachelor degree educated or more. They were tough but warm. We learned that drugs did not discriminate and we were in a mixed family group that in a million years I thought I would never experience. They ran this program effortlessly and after 5 days we all walked out as one. We kept in touch and made sure everyone stayed strong.

Campus is easy to navigate and beautiful. Caron offers a church service each Sunday which is a plus right on campus. It seems the 12 steps are the only pathway to recovery according to Caron and they insist you are alcoholic no matter what. Overall the experience is very beneficial in the fact they keep you very occupied those first 30 days which is crucial to keep the patient clean and away from people places and things.

Beautiful facility. Costly. If the patient is not ready to change or unwilling the treatment will be ineffective. My son, age 16, was a patient.

They could have emphasized physical activity more. I would not recommend any of their post treatment programs. They are an additional cost with little to no benefit.

The aftercare planning was haphazard. My daughter was discharged despite my voiced concerns. My mother, her grandmother, was in hospice when my daughter was discharged and send 2000 miles away to an aftercare facility. I tried to explain that I didn't think it was a good time to discharge her.

N/A

I was in this facility back in June and it\'s the second rehab I\'ve been two and it was a terrible experience. I was in the adolescent unit and I feel that they just trick parents into them paying more money to have your kid stay there. Yes I am clean now but when I got out of there they just made me want to use more than I ever wanted. I am actually clean today because of the program I work they don\'t help at all with that there all we did was bs meetings and \"groups\" which were not effective at all. We just talked about the drugs not why we used the drugs and everyone just makes fun of and rips on each other which didn\'t help with the experience. I met with a psychologist twice and physiatricts maybe 4 times. If you wanna send your kid here don\'t waste the money at all just have him go to meetings near your area he or she will benefit a lot for that. Or if you do send your kid here just have him stay the 28 days nothing more or else he will have huge resentments against that I still have with my parents today that I\'m working on. So from my experience don\'t go here and they don\'t let u smoke and put bs rules on that u gotta follow but have no reason behind why they have these rules it\'s a joke

When that time was up & we couldnt come up with another $40,000 for another 28 days & no more grant $$, we were kicked to the curb. 4 yrs later we're still fighting this.

Local Rabbi available and has weekly Shabbat services and dinner. Weaknesses include: Could use a specific person to communicate solely with patient families. However, not a "weakness," because counselors and staff are available. Do not rule out based on cost alone. Scholarship assistance is available.

The Caron sales force is slick and professional. They tap into the family\'s desperation and promise you everything when it comes to your relative\'s treatment. The reality, though, is far different. Our loved one described Caron as a traumatic experience, left early, and is far worse off now than before going. The Caron staff is negative, punitive, and offers little in the way of counseling or hope. One client told our loved one that after several weeks at Caron, he/she had learned nothing about addiction and nothing about him/herself.

They have Family Education Program for Parents and Siblings for 3 Days and attending AA & NA Meeting. One of the main reasons we chose Caron is because we want a Treatment Center where Suboxone and Methadone was not used and where she would have a fighting chance for her sobriety.The facility is in a beautiful secluded location on a mountain in PA. The councilor and other medical staff were very professional and supportive for both my daughter and the entire family. They made sure she was healthy, she went to the doctors for physicals and lab work. We were including in her treatment plan and in the education sessions. I only wish that every Addict had a change to get treatment from Caron's. They treat the mind, body and the spirt. I hope to never need them for my self. But as we all know relapse occurs and she may need treatment someday.

I was in the young adult male program and a first time rehab visitor. It is truly designed for people with no discipline and the most extreme addictions. I drank every night and it started to somewhat negatively affect my health, but everyone else there had multiple overdoses and hadn't been able to function in society. It was very difficult to relate to any other patients and their strict rules made me feel like a guilty prisoner. I am not a smoker, but the no smoking rule made some guys do idiotic things to try to get a smoke and we were all punished.. I wouldn't recommend to anybody unless they are literally shooting two grams of heroin a shot. Caron will be a humiliating experience if you aren't ready or aren't a true addict.

Saved my life. I can't imagine having stayed sober without extended care. I needed time to break down and surrender and Caron gave me that. Expensive but I honestly believe that I would be dead without the experience. I gained the tools, motivation and self-knowledge to work for sobriety. Only complaint is that the buffet can be very difficult for the (MANY) patients who also suffer from eating disorders. Could have been better concurrent treatment efforts given how frequently the two disorders coexist.

Very Good

The staff at Caron helped me accept that I need help and could not do this on my own. I had tried to get sober for 6 years in & out of AA. This was my first and only treatment center. I have stayed connect with Caron through group therapy with women I was in treatment with on a weekly basis, attend alumni monthly meeting, several annual events ( reunion, Caron at the Cape, Gratitude breakfast & have attended chapel numerous times). Also have a Caron contact person that call me monthly to see how I am doing. This is all part of my journey in recovery that Caron has made me realize how important I am. "One of the hardest things was learning I was worth recovery."

Caron is not cheap but what price do you put on a life. Our son has benefited from the program and has learned to run his own program. There was something magical/spiritual about this place.

They were gentle yet assertive. When they asked me to leave it devastated me. However it was the right thing to do. Because letting me stay would have affirmed my getting away with something and fed my addiction. And, they knew that when I didn't. I found out long after the fact. They saved my life. I received very good treatment.

Caron sticks to recovery. It is ridiculous to add yoga, recreation, visits and other activities. We focused on recovery! And it worked. This is not a country club. It's a rehab

A frilly rehab for people who have resources. I met almost no one there that had bottomed out. Most residents had family money or great insurance, like myself. Not much reason to get sober if you have not had great loss

The family member who attended couldn't say more great things about the facility, staff, and program. The family member now works in the area of drug treatment, and a big part of what compelled them into that field was the overwhelmingly positive experience with Caron Foundation.

The quality of care is a 10 on a scale of 1-10....but (management is poor) and salaried employees are overworked....This rehab has the ability to manage the most difficult cases whether it encompasses only addiction or a dually diagnosed patient. I have witnessed miracles of long term recovery.

Our daughter has been sober since treatment 7 yrs ago...100% top notch!! For both the person in treatment and family...Caron treatment center worked side by side to facilitate our daughter's graduation from her home town high school. They facilitated her move into an amazing half way house and educated the family on behaviors we need to stop...Our daughter went in a manipulating, selfish, immature broken addict and came home a sober, grateful, hardworking, giving adult.
