About us

Peniel Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, offers an intensive inpatient rehabilitation treatment for men and women aged 18 and up who deal with chronic substance usage. This faith-based program applies biblical ideas to its therapy strategy.

Peniel provides a 13-month residential treatment program separated into an intake period and four therapy periods, each lasting around three months. After finishing the program, individuals participate in a six-month aftercare component to help them continue their recovery. Peniel’s treatment approaches include individual therapy, workshops, chapel services, and biblical therapy training. The method promotes good connection with God, oneself, and others as part of the healing process.

Peniel stands out for supporting client self-empowerment and encouraging people to accept personal responsibility for their lives after therapy. The Joint Commission has accredited the center, assuring that it satisfies high quality standards of treatment.
