Caron Foundation
Wernersville, Pennsylvania

[New Perspective] The Caron
Foundation was established in 1957 by Richard &
Catherine Caron for patients between the ages of 16 and
23 who are struggling with the progressive, debilitating
illness of psycho-active substance abuse dependence. It
consists of a number of facilities that provide
comprehensive chemical dependency treatment services
including early intervention, medical evaluation and
detoxification, residential and outpatient treatment for
adults and adolescents, extended care/halfway housing,
family counseling and education, and codependency
treatment.
The treatment integrates the12-step philosophy into its
daily activities, which include group and individual
therapy and extensive recreational programs. Their
on-campus instruction program that provides continuing
education also incorporates the 12-step model into its
approach.
The Caron Foundation’s “mission” is to provide an
“enlightened, caring treatment community” in which all
those affected by alcoholism or other drug addiction may
begin a new life. |
