About

About White Deer Run

White Deer Run of Allenwood anchors the seven-site White Deer Run Treatment Network and sits on a rural campus in Union County, Pennsylvania, roughly an hour north of Harrisburg. The facility has provided chemical-dependency care for four decades and offers a full continuum that begins with medically supervised detoxification and steps clients into residential rehabilitation built around individualized treatment planning.

Clinically, the Allenwood program is licensed for substance use treatment and is accredited by CARF, with an Opioid Treatment Program designation captured in federal SAMHSA records. Treatment integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with experiential therapies and continuing-care planning, and the facility documents specialized tracks for veterans, young adults aged 18 to 25, older adults, men, women, HIV/AIDS-positive clients and people on court-ordered referrals.

The campus admits adults dealing with alcohol, heroin, prescription opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, inhalants and synthetic substances, and addresses co-occurring trauma, PTSD and other dual-diagnosis presentations alongside the primary chemical dependency. Detox is delivered on-site under medical supervision before clients transition into the residential program, which emphasizes dignity, multidisciplinary care and personalized treatment plans.

Leadership at Allenwood is anchored by Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Thomas, MHS, LPC, CAADC, and Regional Program Manager Thomas J. Callahan, MA, LPC, CAADC, CCS, with Director of Admissions Donna Bookhammer, CADC, CCDP, ICADC, CTRTC, and Medical Director Barclay Wilson, D.O.
