Bucks County’s First Crisis Residential Program
The Lodge is an innovative alternative approach to higher levels of care such as inpatient treatment for adults. Individuals in the midst of an acute behavioral health crisis can recover at The Lodge in a welcoming, home-like environment while engaging in a daily therapeutically rich program.
The Lodge is located on a beautiful campus in Lower Bucks County, featuring a walking path and a scenic view of a peaceful pond. Each private room at The Lodge has been designed to create a feeling of comfort and safety.
Unlike inpatient hospitalization, The Lodge is an unlocked environment that offers voluntary service delivered with a person-centered approach. Much attention is given to the environment and treatment approach so that guests feel welcomed, affirmed, and validated. Guests play an active part in their treatment planning process by providing input on goals for treatment. This approach has been shown to provide higher levels of satisfaction and improved outcomes.

Hope
- Mental health professionals are available 24/7 to help stabilize your symptoms, help keep you safe, and learn new ways to cope.
- You can talk about traumatic experiences and explore your thoughts, ideas, and feelings with others who have been through similar experiences.
- You can work with an individual therapist to help you learn more about events, people, or situations that may have prompted your mental health crisis and how to cope with or avoid them.
Healing
- You may find a new treatment, medication, or combination of both that helps you.
- Your voice matters. You are directly involved in developing a personalized treatment plan with guidance and support from our clinical team. These teams are often comprised of individual therapists, certified peer specialists, mental health professionals, psychiatrists, nurses, and those individuals meaningful to your life.
- We help with more than just finding respite from a difficult time. Becoming stable after a crisis is an amazing achievement, but recovery towards a fulfilled, content life is an important tenet for The Lodge. We offer long- term treatment planning and connections to continue care to help guide you towards a fulfilling recovery that works for you.
TREATMENT APPROACH
Lenape Valley Foundation is proud to offer therapeutically-sound treatment at The Lodge. The average stay at The Lodge can be from five to 14 days. During that time, individuals can expect to participate in treatment planning that is structured to offer a robust foundation for healing. This will incorporate evidence-based interventions to address an individual’s clinical needs.
TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
Our approach to healing includes recognizing and responding to the presence of trauma symptoms in a caring and thoughtful way while acknowledging the role that trauma has played in one’s life.
INDIVIDUALIZED CARE
The journey toward feeling better and living better is defined and shaped differently by each person. At The Lodge, individuals will participate in individual, group, and family supportive therapy, as well as medication evaluation and follow-up. Nursing staff will ensure medical needs are addressed. Individual, collaborative treatment planning will be designed for each guest and will include a transition-to-home plan. Linkages to service providers near the guest’s home will be made prior to discharge.
FAMILY INTEGRATION
Our mental health professionals help care for both the individual in crisis and their natural supports (like friends and family), through support and education.
