About Huntington Creek Recovery Center

Huntington Creek Recovery Center in Shickshinny, PA offers medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient programming for adolescents, men, and women seeking lasting recovery. CARF-accredited and certified as an Opioid Treatment Program, the center takes an intimate, experiential approach to substance abuse treatment that respects the strength it takes to ask for help.

Huntington Creek Recovery Center is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 890 Bethel Hill Road in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. Operating 24 hours a day, the center describes its approach as intimate and experiential — a deliberate contrast to larger, more institutional rehab settings. Nestled in Luzerne County, it serves people ready to commit to a structured recovery process that extends well beyond an initial crisis.

A Full Continuum: From Medical Detox to Outpatient Recovery

Huntington Creek Recovery Center offers three distinct levels of care — medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program — allowing people to move through their recovery journey within a single, consistent treatment environment. Beginning with medically supervised detox and transitioning into residential treatment means the clinical team already knows each person before outpatient planning begins.

That continuity matters for long-term recovery. Rather than transferring to a completely new setting at each stage, residents work with a program that has followed their progress from the start. The outpatient program provides a structured bridge as people re-enter daily life, a critical phase that shapes whether early recovery holds.

Trauma-Informed Addiction Treatment Using CBT

Huntington Creek integrates Trauma and PTSD treatment into its addiction recovery programming, acknowledging that unresolved trauma is frequently intertwined with substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core therapeutic method at the center, giving residents practical tools to identify and shift the thought patterns that sustain addictive behavior.

By pairing trauma-informed care with CBT inside a residential treatment setting, the center addresses more than surface-level substance use. For people whose addiction is rooted in or complicated by past trauma, that broader scope can be the difference between short-term sobriety and durable recovery.

Who Huntington Creek Serves

The center accepts adolescents, adult men, and adult women into its substance abuse treatment programs — a population range that is broader than many residential rehab facilities. Serving younger people alongside adults reflects a recognition that addiction does not follow a single demographic pattern, and that early intervention during adolescence can redirect a life trajectory.

Huntington Creek accepts several major insurance carriers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Humana, along with Medicaid, TRICARE, and self-pay options. TRICARE acceptance extends access to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families navigating substance abuse treatment.

Accreditation and Certification

Huntington Creek Recovery Center holds CARF accreditation, an internationally recognized standard that requires facilities to demonstrate measurable outcomes and quality improvement practices. CARF-accredited rehab centers undergo rigorous peer review, giving prospective residents and their families an independent benchmark of program quality.

The center is also certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), a federal designation that confirms the facility meets specific requirements for opioid addiction treatment. Together, these credentials reflect a commitment to accountable, structured care rather than self-reported quality claims.
