SUD Program

Assistance and Support Throughout Your Substance Use Disorder Recovery Journey.

Recovery From Substance Use Disorder

Designed to help those struggling with drugs and alcohol

The Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Program was born out of an urgent need for services to aid those with substance use and addiction challenges. Over the past 3 years, we have worked with more than 800 clients. SUD services are currently offered at 3 of Penny Lane’s Family Centers; North Hills, Lancaster, and Commerce.. The SUD program provides Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient treatment, as well as Recovery Support Services. The SUD staff members are committed to working with adolescents and adults (ages 12 and up) by providing groups, individual counseling, family therapy and other personalized services, such as case management. The Substance Use Disorder programs’ goal is for all individuals to find themselves on a road to recovery, living healthy and productive lives.
