Concerted Care Group Cumberland

We treat the whole person, not just the chemical dependence of addiction. Our treatment approach is successful because we treat more than just the symptoms of opiate and prescription drug addiction. We also treat the behaviors and life circumstances that accompany, enable, and cause addiction and mental health.

In 1989, ACRP initially began working with youth through child welfare and juvenile justice, but there was an almost immediate realization that services needed to be provided to entire families. A grant for Family Preservation Services made this possible.Next the agency began implementing programs in local schools. This led to the development and creation of an Alternative Education Program for youth who could not succeed in traditional school settings. ACRP now operates (4) alternative school sites that service over 125 studentselementary, middle, and high school and is an approved Alternative Education Provider through the PA Department of Education.ACRP expanded its programming into the mental and behavioral health system in 1997. ACRP is now licensed through the PA Dept. of Public Welfare to provide a variety of outpatient, partial hospitalization, family, and school based programs.Through the years, ACRP has also expanded its coverage. Originally servicing clients in Johnstown, there are now 12 offices or schools covering Cambria, Somerset, Bedford, Blair and Clearfield counties, employing over 325 individuals and serving 4,000 clients, students, and families annually.

Our mission is to assure that services are high quality, costeffective, timely, and accessible. We promote family centered services in our early intervention program, recovery, and resiliency in our mental health program, and self-determination in our intellectual disabilities program. Every person and family that we serve we have a network of family, friends, advocates, and supportive services to provide assistance in living, living a full and productive life in our community
