New STR Behavioral Health Residential Facility To Open In Pennsylvania

In a significant development for mental health care in Pennsylvania, Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare has announced the expansion of its services through STR Behavioral Health with the introduction of Cedar Creek, a new residential treatment facility. Scheduled to open in the latter half of the year, this facility aims to address the growing demand for mental health services in the region. The expansion is a testament to Odyssey's dedication to improving access and quality of care for individuals facing mental health challenges.

Recent statistics from the National Alliance on Mental Illness highlight the urgent need for enhanced mental health services in Pennsylvania. Nearly one in five adults in the state suffers from a mental health condition, with almost 40% reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression. Furthermore, 447,000 adults are living with a serious mental illness, and over a quarter of those reporting mental health symptoms have faced barriers in accessing necessary therapy.

Over the past two years, STR Behavioral Health has taken significant strides to fill the treatment gap in Pennsylvania. In 2022, it inaugurated a new detoxification wing and expanded its residential services for individuals dealing with addiction and dual diagnosis conditions. The network further extended its reach in 2023 by enhancing its outpatient service network, including a new location in Lehigh Valley that offers partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs.

Additionally, STR Behavioral Health's Silver Pines campus has broadened its support services to include our nation's veterans, becoming an approved provider of the VA Community Care Network and achieving PsychArmor Certification as a Veteran Ready Healthcare Organization.

Cedar Creek: A New Horizon for Mental Health Care

The upcoming Cedar Creek facility is set to become a cornerstone for mental health treatment in Bucks County and beyond. Located just 30 miles outside Philadelphia, this 30-bed facility is designed to offer personalized care with an optimal client-to-clinician ratio, ensuring individualized attention and holistic recovery. Its commitment to accepting major insurance providers underscores STR Behavioral Health's mission to make quality mental health care accessible to a broader audience.

"Pennsylvania and the surrounding region continue to experience an increasing demand for residential mental health treatment services," stated Richard Clark, CEO of Odyssey. "This upcoming expansion underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering evidence-based treatment and quality care to those in need."

Cory Cooper, CEO of STR Behavioral Health, expressed enthusiasm about the development of this comprehensive mental health program. "We are excited to develop this comprehensive mental health program to address the complex needs of our clients and offer a level of care and support that is largely unavailable in the region," he said.

Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare was founded in 2015 and has since established a diverse clinical network offering a continuum of care for adults and adolescents across various conditions. With over 50 treatment locations and affiliated outpatient clinics across nine states, Odyssey continues to play a pivotal role in transforming mental health and addiction treatment landscapes.
