Caron Pennsylvania is a nationally recognized nonprofit residential treatment center in Wernersville, Pennsylvania, offering medical detox, inpatient rehab, and PHP on a forested hilltop campus.

With an onsite medical center, board-certified physicians, and specialized tracks for executives, professionals, and LGBTQIA+ patients, the program delivers evidence-based care tailored to complex needs.

A Longstanding Tradition of Addiction Treatment Expertise

The Pennsylvania campus anchors Caron’s continuum with an integrated medical and clinical model. Patients receive personalized plans that combine evidence-based therapies like CBT/DBT and motivational interviewing with neurofeedback, mindfulness, and optional spiritual care.

Gender-specific and gender-separate units help remove barriers to engagement, and family services are woven throughout treatment to support lasting change.
