About Retreat at White Birch Outpatient

Located on the 2nd floor of the Anthracite Building in downtown Carbondale—just steps from the Salem Avenue bridge—The Retreat at White Birch offers outpatient drug and alcohol treatment for adults and adolescents. Licensed by Pennsylvania's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, it provides day treatment (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP), helping individuals stay on track with recovery while managing daily life.
The center uses evidence-based care to support long-term healing. Services include individual and group therapy, family counseling, relapse prevention, and life skills training. Twelve step meetings, aftercare planning, and employment support are key parts of the program and treatment plans are personalized—designed to help participants grow emotionally, rebuild relationships, and gain tools to stay sober.
Clients benefit from a supportive team and a structured path to independence. Participants must be motivated for recovery and able to manage daily needs. Within their 90-day stay, they work toward employment, financial stability, and connection to recovery support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Medicaid, managed care, and private funding are accepted, making recovery more accessible for those ready to change their lives.

Private for-profit organization. Primary focus: substance use treatment, transitional housing, halfway house, or sober home.
