Conditions we treat
Addiction is a treatable medical condition that affects millions of people across all backgrounds. At Geisinger Marworth, we provide evidence-based treatment for a wide range of substance use disorders with compassionate, individualized care designed for lasting recovery.
Understanding substance use disorder
Substance use disorder is a complex condition characterized by the compulsive use of drugs or alcohol despite harmful consequences. Addiction affects brain chemistry, behavior and physical health — but with proper treatment, recovery is possible.
Substance use disorders we treat
Marworth specializes in treating multiple types of substance use disorders with individualized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs:
Alcohol use disorder
Alcohol addiction is a progressive disease that can affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Heavy drinking and binge drinking patterns can develop into alcohol use disorder, requiring professional treatment including medically supervised detoxification and comprehensive therapy.

Opioid use disorder
Opioids — including prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Percocet, as well as illicit drugs like heroin and fentanyl — work by binding to brain receptors and creating euphoric effects that can lead to addiction. Opioid use disorder has become a national health crisis requiring specialized treatment.

Stimulant use disorder
Stimulants, sometimes called "uppers," increase brain and body activity, temporarily boosting alertness and energy. This category includes cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription medications like Adderall and Ritalin, and synthetic drugs like bath salts. Their short-term effects make them highly addictive.

Sedative use disorder
Sedatives — including benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium), barbiturates, and sleeping medications — slow brain activity and are prescribed for anxiety, insomnia and seizures. While effective when used as directed, these medications are highly addictive and dangerous when misused.
