About Caron Treatment Centers Adult Phase II Services

Caron Treatment Centers is one of the longest-operating addiction treatment systems in the United States, founded in 1957 and serving more than 115,000 patients since 2000. The Pennsylvania campus at 243 North Galen Hall Road in Wernersville is the flagship inpatient site. Within that campus, Adult Phase II Services represents the extended-care portion of Caron’s adult continuum — the structured step between intensive primary residential treatment and full outpatient transition.

Phase II is designed for adults who have completed primary residential care and benefit from additional structured time in a therapeutic setting before returning to community life. The program leans on Caron’s institutional strengths: multidisciplinary treatment teams that include a primary case manager, medical director, optional spiritual counselor, and financial staff; CARF-accredited operations; and a research-informed treatment model anchored by Caron’s Tieman Center for Research. Treatment integrates neurorestorative care with established evidence-based modalities, with the explicit goal of helping the brain recover alongside the behavioral and emotional work of recovery.

The Wernersville campus runs specialized tracks that frequently intersect with Phase II programming. The Healthcare Professionals Program serves physicians, nurses, and other licensed clinicians whose return to practice depends on a documented continuum of care. The Aviation Professionals Program serves pilots and aviation personnel facing similar regulatory return-to-work pathways. Caron also operates Breakthrough at Caron — an intensive family workshop program — recognizing that addiction is rarely an individual condition and that family system engagement materially affects long-term outcomes. Caron-published outcomes indicate that 90% of patients rated their quality of life as good to very good a year after treatment.

Clinical staffing on the Pennsylvania campus is anchored by Kate Appleman, MA, MBA, LPC, CAADC, CCS, who serves as Executive Vice President of the Caron Pennsylvania Campus. Specialty clinicians include Lorraine (Lori) Ballou, LCSW-R, CTRS, CACAS, CET3, as a Breakthrough Therapist, and Hillary Antine, MS, LMHC, supporting families across the system. Phase II is private-pay supported, with Caron in-network with several major insurance providers and limited scholarship and financial assistance available through the foundation. Because Phase II is a clinical extension of a residential program, payment, length of stay, and treatment plan are individualized rather than packaged.
