Harrisburg Comprehensive Treatment Center

This place well previously Discovery House saved my life. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for this place and Sherry!!!

Everyone here is so nice and helpful. I definitely was nervous to come here because of my anxiety. But this is definitely the place I recommend if you need help with addiction/recovery. Every person that works here are so nice and they do everything they can to make you comfortable. No one will judge you here. Everyone here is so helpful and they listen to you and they do everything they can to help you stay clean. I'm thankful for everything they have done to help me!

READ IF YOU’VE READ THE OTHER ALL CAPS TITLED REVIEW BECAUSE IT SIMPLY ISN’T THE TRUTH 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have no idea what these other recent reviews are talking about because I can say from personal experience that the one, for sure, is simply not factual. Increasing 5 mg every ten days?! No. That’s not how it works. They will increase you every single day at the beginning by either 5 or 10 mg in an effort to get you stable as quickly as possible because they truly want you to get clean. After you reach a certain mg you do have to ask for an increase but it is literally as simple as asking. You have to speak up but by that time, you’re on a dose much higher than 30 mg. I had to ask once I reached 60 but once I did, if I wanted more than 5 mg it was as simple as walking back, talking to a DOCTOR (no, not a nurse - also should mention seeing a doctor has never been an issue) and getting the increase. 5 mg and the nurse at the dosing window could do it themselves. As far as missing one day and being stepped down this is also simply not true. I know because in the beginning when I was still using, I missed A LOT of days. Not once was I ever decreased because of it. The only time you get a decrease because of AWOLs is if you’ve missed 3 days or more in which case (first of all why would you/what are you even doing?!) it’s a matter of safety and anyone with a brain would be understanding of that fact. Now that those things are addressed… this place is a literal life saver. I went here ten years ago when it was still on Cameron St but back then I didn’t really want to get clean. I can’t speak to how good it was then because I wasn’t putting in the work. Since then I’ve been to camp hill, Watsontown & back here again. This place far surpasses and others. The nurses are amazing, the receptionists are God’s gift honestly and I’ve met multiple counselors because of groups and they are all amazing as well. I love my counselor but I’ve been in situations at other clinics where I loved my counselor and they left and every one I was matched with after just wasn’t a good fit. I can say with confidence that even though it would be upsetting to lose my current counselor because she’s amazing, I would probably do just fine if put with any of the other ones I’ve met. They are all great. As with any place, there are minor annoyances but they are things that would happen anywhere that you simply cannot hold against any of the staff there. They all treat the patients with the utmost respect and compassion and you can tell they all really care about and believe in what they are doing. I really can’t say enough good things. The last thing I’ll mention is that in general, I avoid groups/group therapy like the plague and do it only if I HAVE to. I have been pleasantly surprised on more than one occasion with their groups. I actually get something out of them when that’s something I never saw happening based on previous experiences with group therapy settings. If you are at your wit’s end (and I know a lot of people are esp with xylazine on the streets right now) go here! I’ll be honest and say that if you are regularly using tranq adulterated substances, the methadone isn’t going to take care of the W/D from that but what they do is get you stable from the opiate W/D and then they have options (that don’t involve going to places ill equipped to handle your situation) to get you detoxed from the xylazine that are quick and pretty painless. They understand what’s going on out here at the moment and are more up to date on treatment than anywhere else I’ve talked to or tried to turn to. They know how to help and what it will take. Take the leap… you won’t regret it!

I came to this place broken and with no other options left. MAT was something I was always warned would be worse then my addiction. But I’ve never been better, it took a little while at first to find the counselor I truly trusted and was willing to open up to but once I did, life’s been great, yes I get curve balls and life’s ups and downs. But I don’t think about going back out and using when that happens. I use the tools I’ve learned over the years and with the MAT my body isn’t in constant pain or withdrawal so that gave me the time I needed to get acclimated into everyday life as a normal productive person. Now I’m tapering out and have lots of hope for my future. If it wasn’t for this place my sons wouldn’t have a father, my mom wouldn’t have a son and my siblings would be without a brother, I know I’d be in jail or dead by now. So thanks everyone at Discovery house. Especially you Mariah.

Great place! Really helped me with my recovery, most really do whatever they can to help. Definitely recommend.

My wife goes to this Clinic, not sure if we are allowed to mention names, so we will call her counselor "Ms.Pat"-Ms.Pat is very professional,caring and goes above and beyond to make sure Sandra's (Wife) recovery needs come first!! I must mention she also takes time for me, if I need help with understanding anything...Ms.Pat is just the Best counselor we've worked with since Sandra's journey through recovery. I believe the Good Lord sent Ms.Pat to Us and for this We are Very Appreciative and Thankful! The Clinic itself is good. Sandra has never had any problems at all. So with that said, If you are Seriously ready to get your life under control and be drug free, I would Recommend The Descovery House in Harrisburg, They are helping my wife's Journey tremendously! A Huge Thank You to Ms.Pat 💞

Very helpful for those struggling with opiate addiction!!! If you've tried every other option with no recovery this is probably the answer. Friendly n helpful staff.
