About Little Creek Recovery
Built to provide something very different in the way of drug and alcohol treatment, Little Creek Lodge was the first of its kind on the east coast when they opened in 2008. Little Creek is not a place where clients will be able to “fly under the radar.” Everyone who comes here has some type of attribute, no matter how low they may feel about themselves. Little Creek wants to find out what those qualities are and empower residents to embrace them through 12-Step philosophies, talk therapies, and adventure therapy.
Licensed for 16 beds, Little Creek Recovery provides each resident and their families with highly individualized treatment. Operating a small facility allows Little Creek to get to know each client and their families on an intimate level, which gives Little Creek the ability to discern and address all of the intricacies of each case. Their caring and compassionate staff tends to the needs of clients and their families with the respect those in recovery deserve. Little Creek Recovery is well-attuned to the specific needs of adult men, making them highly effective in treating addiction and mental health concerns.
Little Creek Recovery offers a range of treatment services, like residential care and outpatient care. Their sober living home, Shane’s House, is located on their Pennsylvania property. Partial-hospitalization programs and attentive outpatient programs offer flexibility for those who can’t attend residential treatment. Notably, all outpatient programs are co-ed, but residential stays are male-only. Little Creek’s residential and sober living homes are exclusively for men to allow for the most relevant, effective treatment.
Little Creek’s residential program for men offers long-term residential care with an emphasis on 12-Step philosophy, peer recovery, and adventure therapy. Outdoor adventure therapy has proven to be a highly effective treatment method, and doing it with others only strengthens community bonds and heightens sober fun. During sessions, adventure therapists aim to utilize clinical tools and the power of the outdoors to promote healing and recovery. Adventure therapy also promotes healthy identity and culture development, self-efficacy, improves self-esteem, and facilitates overall personal growth. Typical activities and trips within the program include kayaking, zip lining, mountain biking, rock climbing, swimming, horseback riding, disc golf, and more.

Little creek saved my life, and in return the life of my family. I will forever be grateful for what Little Creek did for me. I've been to a few rehabs. This is by far the best experience I've had.

When I entered little creek, I had forgotten who I was. I was weak physically and void of all spirituality. I forgot the importance of relationships and frankly didn’t even know how to be in one anymore. With After 90 days, I was confused in a good way. I met many people in AA. The staff at little creek were caring and kind. They know what it takes to stay sober and they know what it means to completely change your personality and become the best version of yourself. There was a lot of work to do after discharge and the road isn’t easy. Little creek changed my life and gave me hope, and strength. The program is excellent. If you go there to change, it will be the best decision of your life. In a small place, where many people are uncomfortable, little creek will make you feel like family by the time you leave, and you will crave sobriety as a lifestyle. As you experienced there. Again….

If I could leave more stars, I would. Little Creek surpassed my every expectation. The clinical staff is top-notch and effective. They involved family in the process and navigated the challenges with grace and skill. The building and grounds are gorgeous and therapeutic. Their approach of integrating confidence-building activities into the process was, I think, key to my son's appreciation of the program. This is the place where he made the decision to live a life in recovery and I could not be more appreciative of the care, communication and skill I found here every step of the way.

Little Creek saved my son when he was just 18. So many caring people believed in him and showed him there was life beyond drugs. He is 6 years sober and just graduated from college. So grateful.
