Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services Inc Bradford Unit

The Bradford Unit's residential treatment program creates a structured recovery environment for individuals requiring intensive addiction treatment support. Located on Minard Run Road, the residential facility provides 24-hour care for those in early recovery or facing complex substance use disorders requiring sustained clinical attention.

Residents participate in comprehensive programming addressing both addiction recovery and underlying trauma issues. The residential setting allows for deep therapeutic work while building essential life skills and healthy routines. This level of care serves as either an entry point for those stepping down from medical detox elsewhere or as intensive treatment for individuals whose outpatient attempts have been unsuccessful.

The outpatient program serves recovery community members who need ongoing addiction treatment while maintaining employment, family responsibilities, or housing arrangements. With Monday through Friday availability and extended Tuesday hours until 8 PM, the program accommodates diverse scheduling needs common in working recovery populations.

Outpatient participants engage in regular therapy sessions, group work, and continuing care planning. This level of care works particularly well for alumni transitioning from residential programs, individuals with stable housing seeking intensive outpatient support, or those requiring aftercare following initial treatment elsewhere. The program's trauma focus addresses underlying issues that often complicate long-term recovery success.

The center specializes in treating individuals whose substance use disorders intersect with trauma or PTSD. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, clinical staff address how past traumatic experiences contribute to addiction patterns and recovery challenges.

This specialized focus recognizes that many people in recovery carry unresolved trauma that affects their ability to maintain sobriety long-term. Rather than treating addiction in isolation, the program integrates trauma healing with substance abuse recovery, creating more sustainable outcomes for participants. Both residential and outpatient participants benefit from this trauma-informed approach throughout their treatment experience.

Financial barriers often prevent individuals from accessing quality addiction treatment. The Bradford Unit addresses this through comprehensive payment acceptance including Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, and various self-pay arrangements. Sliding scale fees adjust costs based on individual financial circumstances.

Financial assistance programs provide additional support for those facing economic hardship while seeking recovery services. This commitment to accessibility ensures that McKean County residents can access both residential and outpatient addiction treatment regardless of insurance status or income level. The center's focus on removing financial obstacles reflects their community-oriented approach to recovery support.
