Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, Inc./Maple Manor was recognized by Newsweek magazine for the third year in a row as among the best addiction treatment centers in Pennsylvania.
The designation is based on recommendations from physicians, quality of care, accreditation, and reputation score. These areas are calculated by Statista to rank the facilities.
When asked about this recognition, said,
“This designation is a reflection of the dedicated staff we have at Maple Manor,” said Angela Eckstrom, executive director of ADAS. “To be distinguished among the many rehab facilities in the state, many that are much larger, is an honor.”
Maple Manor celebrated 50 years of 24/7 care this past summer with an event at Mystic Waters Resort in Limestone, N.Y., with many individuals turning out to take part in marking the milestone.
Maple Manor’s first location was on Maple Street in Coudersport. A decade later, it moved to Chestnut Street in Port Allegany, spending many years there before moving in 2017 to its current site on Minard Run Road in Bradford Township.
“Since the move in 2017, we have doubled our capacity for inpatient care, significantly increased our staff and have added a recovery center, a lounge, office space and a conference room to the facility,” Eckstrom said. “We also have seven outpatient offices in four counties. We strive to deliver excellent evidenced-based care in all of the communities we serve.”
During the half-century celebration, three individuals spoke, each representing one of the three locations they were treated in over the past 50 years. Each shared heartfelt and inspiring remarks about their personal recovery.
When asked about the role Maple Manor had in their journeys:
• Sherry from the original Manor in Coudersport said, “The Manor gave me a good foundation for a sober life.’
• Moose from the Port Allegany Manor said, “The Manor was a nice place to visit, but I didn’t want to live there. It was a place where the recovery seed was planted.”
• Jeff from the newest Manor said, “I couldn’t believe I found this beautiful place to begin my recovery journey.”
Eckstrom said hosting events where individuals can share their recovery experiences is something ADAS does to help reduce the sigma of addiction.
“There are many individuals in sustained, long-term recovery who live, work and contribute to their communities and make a positive difference in the lives of others,” she said.
Eckstrom noted that the next recovery event for the friends, family and alumni of Maple Manor will be 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the facility at 139 Minard Run Road. RSVP by calling 642-9522.
