About Huntington Creek Recovery Center
Huntington Creek Recovery Center sits on 890 Bethel Hill Road in rural Shickshinny, Pennsylvania, in the rolling hills of Luzerne County. The campus is intentionally remote, with the program emphasizing a natural setting that lets men, women, and adolescents step away from daily triggers and immerse themselves in recovery work. The provider serves the New York metro area and the Northeast and is regularly cited as a destination program for clients who want experiential treatment in a rural environment.
Clinical programming is built around three core levels of care: medically supervised detox, adult residential treatment, and a dedicated adolescent residential track. The detox unit is staffed by a medical director, physician’s assistant, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses who monitor patients through withdrawal and any co-occurring medical conditions. Once stable, patients move into the experiential residential program, which combines CBT-based clinical work with hands-on therapeutic activities in the campus setting.
Huntington Creek treats substance use as the primary diagnosis and is equipped to address co-occurring mental health concerns, trauma, and PTSD alongside addictions to alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, marijuana, and synthetic substances. The center is explicit that it does not treat mental illness as a primary diagnosis, which helps clients and referrers determine fit during the admissions process.
Financially, the program is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Humana – all four logos appear on the website – and also accepts Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. CARF accreditation is recorded in SAMHSA’s directory, and free insurance verification is offered at admissions.
