About us

Miners Medical in Wilkes Barre, PA, helps people who are addicted to opioids like heroin and prescription painkillers without having them stay in the hospital. In order to meet the specific needs of each patient, the facility makes individualized care plans based on clinical assessments. Their programs are made to help both men and women through group sessions that are tailored to each gender. This creates a more personalized and helpful recovery environment. 
 
You can get General Outpatient Treatment (OP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Office-Based Opiate Treatment (OBOT), and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Miners Medical. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing are some of the ways they help their clients. To help people recover in the long run, they also work on life skills, controlling anger, and family relationships. Miners Medical also has special programs for women who are pregnant and an Aftercare Monitoring Program to help people stay sober. The building has been approved by CARF and is known as a Pennsylvania Center of Excellence.
