About this facility
Surrounded by the tranquil hills of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Peniel Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center offers a peaceful, distraction-free environment ideal for healing and reflection. As a long-term inpatient rehabilitation program, Peniel specializes in treating adults battling chronic substance abuse through a unique combination of faith-based guidance and structured behavioral care. Its gender-specific dormitories and comprehensive campus, including a gymnasium, sanctuary, and vocational spaces, create a supportive and self-contained community designed for transformation.
Peniel’s treatment journey spans 13 months, beginning with a 30-day orientation and advancing through 4 progressive phases. Each stage is tailored to build emotional strength, reinforce accountability, and promote spiritual renewal. Services include individualized counseling, family therapy, vocational training, relapse prevention education, and aftercare planning, all deeply integrated into daily life. Clients are engaged in structured routines, practical classes, and hands-on work experiences, all designed to rebuild self-worth and prepare them for independent living.
The center offers a Christian-based path to recovery, helping individuals grow through faith, healing, and self-reflection. Clients are guided to take responsibility, rely on God, and learn from the Bible. Rather than offering quick fixes, the program focuses on lasting change by building trust, strengthening character, and encouraging honest living. Recovery is not just about sobriety but about finding purpose and living with integrity.
