Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery

Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery occupies a private campus in Scotrun, Pennsylvania — a setting that supports the kind of sustained focus longer-term recovery requires. The facility is open 24 hours a day and holds CARF accreditation, which reflects an external standard of quality across its clinical programming and operations.

What separates Brookdale from many single-phase facilities is its full continuum: medical detox provides a supervised starting point, the 30-day Signature residential treatment program delivers structured immersive care, and an outpatient program supports the transition toward independent recovery. Individuals who begin at Brookdale don't need to rebuild trust with a new team when they're ready for the next level of care — the community travels with them through the process.

Brookdale's clinical model is built to address more than substance use in isolation. The center treats co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD as integrated components of the recovery process, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing as its primary therapeutic methods. These approaches are delivered by a clinical team operating under a low patient-to-staff ratio — a structural choice that shapes the day-to-day experience of residential treatment at the facility.

CEO Jennifer Russo holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor (MA, LPC, LCADC, ACS). Medical Director Douglas Coslett, M.D. provides physician-level oversight across the program. That combination of licensed clinical leadership and medical direction supports a treatment environment where psychiatric and substance use care are addressed in the same setting.

For the Sober Nation community, the question of what happens after residential treatment is often as important as the program itself. At Brookdale, aftercare planning is described as in-depth and begins before discharge — not as an afterthought. The facility's alumni program provides ongoing connection to the recovery community that residents built during their time in treatment, an important continuity point for people navigating early recovery outside of a structured environment.

Brookdale also offers practical support that few residential programs address directly: assistance navigating FMLA leave, short-term disability claims, and legal issues that often accompany a decision to enter treatment. For young adults, veterans, and working adults weighing whether they can afford to step away for a 30-day residential program, this kind of real-world support can be the difference between starting treatment and staying stuck.

Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery serves men, women, veterans, and young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. The facility accepts TRICARE — a meaningful detail for veterans and military families who often find their insurance options limited at many private residential programs. Private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay are also accepted payment methods.

The center is located at 2455 Back Mountain Road, Scotrun, PA 18355, and can be reached at (570) 216-3540. With 24-hour operation and a defined admissions process, the path from inquiry to intake does not require navigating a waiting period before speaking with someone on the clinical team.
