Eligibility Requirements Highland House: women (age 18-60) residents of PA recovering from drug and/or alcohol additions.
CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION
Highland House is a long-term residential program designed for women over the age of eighteen who are in recovery from drug and/or alcohol addictions. It is state licensed and CARF accredited. To be eligible for this program, a woman must have completed an inpatient drug/alcohol treatment program within the past year. The clients are referred by a drug and alcohol treatment professional working in the field, and meet the criteria set forth by the Pennsylvania Client Placement Criteria.

A potential participant must be a resident of Pennsylvania. She must be motivated and willing to commit to a long-term program. Dually diagnosed clients deemed able to understand and benefit from the program will be accepted. However, a woman diagnosed as being psychotic or with a mental health diagnosis that is her primary treatment focus is not appropriate for the program and will be referred to local mental health agencies for services.

The program design is to serve recovering adult women from the state of Pennsylvania. Clients can be referred by several sources, including SCA’s, inpatient treatment centers, criminal justice agencies, etc. Upon referral, the potential client completes an Initial Intake Information form over the telephone with a designated staff person. If the client requests and the referral source can provide transportation, a visit will be arranged. When the Initial Intake form is completed, the Executive Director shall make a decision about the client’s appropriateness for the program based upon the above information and the PCPC criteria. If she is deemed appropriate, the referring professional or the client is given an admission date.
