Not everyone who needs serious help for addiction or mental health needs to move into a residential program. STR Lancaster, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, offers adults a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available at every level of care, and the program is part of STR Behavioral Health and accredited by the Joint Commission.

Get Care for Addiction, Mental Health, or Both

STR Lancaster works with adults who need more support than weekly therapy but don't need 24-hour care. Clients come for addiction, primary mental health conditions, or both. These include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizophrenia. Two psychiatric nurse practitioners handle medication, and the program is a VA Community Care Network provider for veterans.

Build Treatment Around Daily Life

PHP meets 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday. IOP meets for 3 hours at a time, either 5 days a week or on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with day and evening options. Both include individual, group, and family therapy, along with medication management, case management, and peer support. Therapists use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). A holistic therapist on staff leads meditation and other mind-body work.

Keep Support Going After Treatment

Many clients step down from PHP to IOP as they make progress, and length of stay depends on each person's needs. Families can take part through a family program. After discharge, clients and their loved ones can join STR's lifetime alumni program for ongoing support groups.

Get Care for Both Conditions at Once
Addiction and mental health conditions often feed each other, so STR Lancaster treats them at the same time. Clients see a psychiatric nurse practitioner for medication management and work with therapists on both. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available at every level of care. The team also treats primary mental health conditions, even when substance use isn't part of the picture.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

Supportive Medication for Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT

This center offers MAT, but does not list specific medications for treatment. Contact the center for details for specific MAT medications.

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
