About us

St. Josephโ€™s Institute, located in Port Matilda, Pennsylvania, specializes in treating mental health and addiction issues for individuals seeking a whole-person approach to recovery. This faith-based facility, while not affiliated with any specific religion, believes in the spiritual cure to addiction and emphasizes that everyone has a purpose which can significantly increase recovery success. 

The Institute offers amenities such as healthy meals and hotel-styled rooms with private bathrooms, each shared with one other resident to minimize feelings of isolation. Their programs differ from traditional drug and alcohol rehabs by not making therapy the primary treatment method. Instead, they focus on uncovering the root causes of addiction, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues, treating individuals in a positive and healing environment.

St. Josephโ€™s Institute provides various methods, including individual, marital, and family counseling, lifestyle coaching, spiritual direction, and holistic detox. They also offer medication-assisted detox to safely remove drugs while managing withdrawal symptoms. As part of the recovery process, clients are evaluated for medical concerns and natural methods are used to restore the body and address issues that could lead to relapse. 

The Institute uses various counseling methods to help establish healthier thought and behavior patterns, spiritual beliefs, and emotional maturity. Before graduation, residents receive a continuing care plan to assist with long-term recovery. This personalized approach contrasts with the โ€œone size fits allโ€ method used by many rehabs, recognizing that the underlying issues driving addiction and mental health problems differ for each person. 

The optional faith-based track offers bible study and weekly non-denominational chapel services. The Institute’s program also helps patients develop skills to manage stress, reduce conflict, and build happier relationships.

St. Josephโ€™s Institute maintains accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), reflecting its commitment to maintaining high standards of care and treatment excellence.
