Our treatment setting is personal and spacious allowing us to offer our clients one-on-one attention and compassionate care in order to meet the needs of each individual client. Depending on your loved one’s needs, we implement a variety of therapies, including:

IOP treatment helps your loved one learn how to manage a mental illness while balancing work, relationships and other aspects of everyday life. Our IOP program provides a comprehensive step-down level of support for your loved one as they learn to manage their mental illness and/or substance use disuse with the everyday challenges that arise with work, relationships and family.

We offer a holistic approach to recovery, treating the whole person using SMART recovery, Refuge Recovery, the Traditional 12-Step Program, along with experiential treatment modalities located on the glorious Appalachian Trail, Delaware River and 100+ acres of manicured walking trails.


Our individualized care gives an individual with a mental health diagnosis the opportunity be treated as a whole person, not a diagnosis. The staff works to erase the stigma of the mental health label and treat every individual as a person first.


Treating mental health and substance abuse together gives individuals a chance to uncover the root of their problems without struggling with what came first, mental health or substance abuse. We help individuals identify trauma, history and the real reason for substance abuse.

Whether treating substance abuse, mental health diagnoses or dual diagnoses, our model is the treatment of the individual, not the treatment of the diagnosis. In this way, treatment is specifically tailored to the individual client.

Our PHP in Pennsylvania provides comprehensive, high-level care through a holistic, personalized approach that restores balance to the mind, body, and spirit with expert clinical treatment and transformative outdoor experiences.

    Water Gap Wellness Center and the people who work there saved my life and mental health. The staff and therapists were amazing and I always felt like everyone cared about me and was supporting me on my journey to recovery. I felt like there were a lot of options, especially the focus groups, that provided me with the tools I needed to deal with the issues I was facing. I am so thankful that I chose to go to Water Gap and I can not recommend this place enough to anyone else who is struggling.

    Going to Watergap Wellness was the best possible choice for the improvement of my mental health and my struggles with addiction. The program is very well organized and run in a fashion that is conducive to learning the fundamentals of recovery. All of the staff clearly take pride in the development and progress of the clientele. My therapist Andrew and the recreational therapists Tracy and Sheldon, listened to me very carefully and gave me great advice and input that I will use for the rest of my life. This program has given me a life far greater than I could have ever imagined before attending it.Additionally, the facility is located on the most beautifully maintained golf course in the world. The breathtaking scenery makes the evenings there feel like a luxury vacation.

    I have been struggling with substance abuse for a while now and have been to multiple places for years and none of them worked. But this place is different! Staff are caring and compassionate. You can talk to them about anything and they will openly listen to you. My therapist is funny and loving and very easy to talk too! I’m finding myself here and I’m so excited to keep learning about myself!!! P.S you will get a huge welcome at the doors of the treatment facility by a beautiful pup named Gracie!

    I can’t praise Dr. Bob enough! He truly is exceptional, and I don’t think there is anyone more experienced or compassionate about his clients than him. He’s so generous with his time and genuinely devoted to finding the best course of action for me as an individual. I feel very lucky to have met him!!

    I am so appreciative of the many people who helped me at Water Gap Wellness. Their program was strongly recommended to me by my friend, and my experience was exceptional in every way. I was treated with loving care and respect, and through counseling I feel that for the first time in a long time I have the skills and the proper mindset to finally have a lasting recovery. God Bless You All!
