What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Scranton Counseling Center

Scranton Counseling Center is a mental health treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (residential, outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 329 Cherry Street, Scranton, PA 18505.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 9 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Partial hospitalization / day treatment, Residential, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 0 substance or condition categories treated, and 8 clinical treatment approaches (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Couples/family therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Electroconvulsive therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Ketamine Infusion Therapy, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 16 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Children with serious emotional disturbance, Justice-involved individuals, Military families, Persons experiencing first-episode psychosis, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with Alzheimer's or dementia, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with HIV/AIDS, Persons with PTSD, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with serious mental illness, Seniors, Veterans, Young adults) with 5 languages of care (German, Other languages (excluding Spanish), Russian, Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing, Spanish). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, plus 11 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, Community Mental Health Block Grants, Community Service Block Grants, County or local government funds, Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE), Medicaid, Medicare, Other State funds, and 3 more).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented mental health treatment listings in Pennsylvania: it reports 50 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 1% of 757 facilities statewide (state median: 32). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.

Extended Profile: How Scranton Counseling Center Compares Locally

Scranton Counseling Center's SAMHSA record is unusually complete: 50 reported attributes places it at rank #6 of 757 Pennsylvania facilities by self-reported completeness (top 1%). Narrowed to just Scranton, it ranks #1 of 8 local facilities on the same measure, a comparison the statewide figure alone can't show since a facility can be a state-wide standout while being one of several similarly detailed programs in its own city, or vice versa.

A high self-reported-completeness rank is not a clinical quality signal, SAMHSA does not audit or verify the survey responses facilities submit. It does mean this specific record answers more of the practical questions (which populations, which languages, which payment types) before you have to call and ask.
