Caron Treatment Centers

I was in Caron Jan-Feb 2003. I have been sober since! Caron is extraordinary!! I was & I am still blessed to be part of Caron family. They also have an exceptional Alumni Team with frequent gatherings/activities all over; one cannot help but stay connected. Caron saved my life in 2003 & continues to help me grow in my journey. I LOVE Caron! I would recommend this place to any & everyone! There is no other place like it!

Caron saved my life. I came here with cirrhosis from the Pacific Northwest, in need of a liver transplant and I had hit a brick wall with what was available to me geographically. The staff -- from the admissions team to the doctors and nurses to the therapists, counselors, down to the cafeteria truly care. Not just about sobriety, but about healing the whole person. From clinical therapy to spiritual and musical support, I felt seen and supported every step of the way. Group sessions were powerful, and the community helped me rediscover my strength. The facility is beautiful, the food was great, and the range of holistic care -- from yoga to trauma informed work -- was exactly what I needed to maintain a healthy recovery. They gave me the tools to live a better life. I highly recommend this program and this facility to anyone, especially those who feel lost and on a road leading nowhere but death. I am happy to say that I leave here NOT needing a new liver and sobriety is the key. This truly is Magic Mountain. Worth every penny.

When I was 5 years sober, I attended Caron for its Breakthrough program to work through Childhood Trauma. This one week intensive program was exactly what I needed. It was my tipping point in life. Sarah and Jenn and Stephanie were amazing therapists. They ensure the patient has therapy lined up at home and that too has changed my life. I am finally discovering feelings, who I am and through being vulnerable for the first time in my life - connection with others. I was nervous returning yesterday for Alumni weekend but it is a beautiful reminder as to how far I have come in discovering myself ans I continue to work on my emotional sobriety. Thank you Caron leaders and staff. This program changed my life in the best ways. Through grief and hard work is healing.

I am an Alumnus of Caron, having been there most recently in June of 2025 and being connected to this world class organization since 2021. In short, Caron's quality of care saved my life. I have a substance abuse disorder, and I turned to Caron to empower me on my road to recovery. Caron has an impressive history, legacy of strong leadership, and a verifiable track record of successful patient outcomes. New president and CEO John Driscoll outlined his vision at the June Alumni Reunion, and I am convinced that Caron will remain a leader in its field for the long term. I personally experienced transformational treatment at Caron. The clinical therapy challenged me to new ways of thinking about my recovery and provided very customized solutions. The medical facilities and professionals were outstanding and supported me with accurate and effective care. I needed physical therapy and medical massage as part of my stay and the results in just 28 days were simply amazing, including restoration of range and strength of motion. A major component of Caron's holistic approach is spiritual healing and a personalized journey for patients to be exposed to and consider. It is all done respectfully for folks of all backgrounds and beliefs. I spent one on one time with a spiritual therapist who opened my eyes to some things I had never thought about. That combined with the unique and renowned Sunday Chapel experience, gave me a spiritual connection that I can build upon. Unique to Caron is the constructive loyalty of its former patients and its active Alumni Community of which I am a proud member. If you are reading this and are a former Caron patient, I highly recommend that you engage with the Alumni Community and see what involvement could fit for you. A lifetime of connections awaits. If you are a prospective patient or family member that desires the best care available, please consider Caron as your solution. It just might be the most important decision you ever make.

In early 2013 my alcoholism had taken me to the point of complete hopelessness. I was out of options and lost the desire to live. I am so grateful for the opportunity i was given to be able to spend 30 days at the Caron Treatment facility in Wernersville, Pa. followed by a 3-month outpatient program. Within a few days at Caron my hope and a willingness to live was already being restored. The education and tools provided to me by my counselor and other staff members helped to understand my "disease". I learned that I didn't have to suffer any more in my active addiction and could live a useful and productive life. Through actively working a spiritual program of action I have remained clean and sober now for over 12 years with no mood- or mind-altering substance in my body. Pete R.
