About

About Geisinger Marworth

Geisinger Marworth is a fully accredited addiction treatment center located at 12 Lily Lake Road in Waverly, Pennsylvania, serving individuals across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England. Operating around the clock, the facility addresses alcohol addiction, opioid addiction, sedative addiction, stimulant addiction, co-occurring disorders, and trauma and PTSD — making it one of the more clinically comprehensive programs in the northeastern Pennsylvania region.

The center provides a full continuum of care anchored by detoxification, which positions it to manage withdrawal from the point of admission through longer-term treatment. Beyond detox, Geisinger Marworth offers inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient programming — a range that allows patients to step down through levels of care within a single system rather than being transferred to unaffiliated providers.

Clinically, the program incorporates medication-assisted treatment alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT skills training, expressive therapy, recreation therapy, nutrition therapy, and a dedicated family program. Dual diagnosis is a confirmed part of what the center treats, addressing co-occurring mental health conditions — including trauma and PTSD — alongside the primary substance use disorder. Both CARF and Joint Commission accreditations are current, reflecting adherence to rigorous national standards for addiction treatment.

Geisinger Marworth specifically serves healthcare professionals, uniformed professionals, and LGBTQ individuals — populations that often face distinct barriers to seeking treatment and benefit from programming that accounts for those realities. For anyone evaluating detox and residential options in northeastern Pennsylvania or the broader mid-Atlantic region, Marworth’s 24-hour operation, multi-substance scope, and full level-of-care continuum are concrete starting points. Inquiries can be directed to (800) 442-7722 or marworth@marworth.org.

Detoxification and Withdrawal Management at Geisinger Marworth

Geisinger Marworth's detoxification program is the clinical entry point for individuals whose addiction requires medically managed withdrawal before longer-term treatment can begin. The facility treats alcohol addiction, opioid addiction, sedative addiction, and stimulant addiction — substance categories that each carry distinct withdrawal profiles and risks. Operating 24 hours a day, Marworth is equipped to receive patients at any point of crisis.

Medication-assisted treatment is among the confirmed therapeutic methods in use at Marworth, a clinically significant detail for individuals and families evaluating opioid or alcohol detox options. Rather than detox functioning as an isolated episode, Marworth's structure connects withdrawal management directly to inpatient treatment, creating a pathway that doesn't require patients to locate a separate facility once the acute phase resolves.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient to Outpatient

Few addiction treatment centers in northeastern Pennsylvania offer the full range of levels that Geisinger Marworth provides. Detoxification, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programming are all confirmed services — meaning patients can progress through clinical levels of intensity without leaving the Marworth system. For families coordinating care across a region that includes New Jersey, New York, and New England, that continuity is a practical advantage.

Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming extend the treatment relationship for patients who have completed inpatient or detox but are not ready for standard outpatient frequency. This tiered approach reduces the gap between acute care and return to daily life, which research consistently identifies as a high-risk period for relapse.

Co-Occurring Disorders, Trauma, and Specialized Populations

Geisinger Marworth explicitly treats co-occurring disorders and trauma and PTSD alongside primary substance use disorders. For patients whose addiction is entangled with underlying mental health conditions — a clinical reality for a significant share of people seeking detox and inpatient care — this dual-diagnosis capability matters in practical terms. The therapeutic framework includes cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT skills training, both of which have documented application to trauma and mood disorders in the context of addiction treatment.

The center has defined specialty tracks for three specific populations: healthcare professionals, uniformed professionals, and LGBTQ individuals. Each of these groups encounters systemic and personal obstacles to treatment that general programming does not always address. Marworth's recognition of those distinctions is reflected in its confirmed populations-served list, not simply in marketing language.

Accreditation and How to Contact Geisinger Marworth

Geisinger Marworth holds active accreditations from both CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) and The Joint Commission. These are independent credentialing organizations with distinct standards; dual accreditation is not the default for addiction treatment centers and signals a sustained commitment to external accountability. For individuals and families comparing detox centers, accreditation status is one of the most objective benchmarks available.

The facility is located at 12 Lily Lake Road, Waverly, PA 18471, in Lackawanna County. Admissions inquiries are accepted by phone at (800) 442-7722 and by email at marworth@marworth.org. The center is open 24 hours, which means same-day contact and intake conversations are possible for individuals in acute need.
