getting here
We strongly recommend using your GPS to ensure you have the exact address, as getting here can be tricky due to the rural roads, two lanes, and poorly marked routes leading to our healing sanctuary. Below are typical traffic routes; however, please note that road repair construction can alter these details.
From Philadelphia or Philadelphia International Airport
Leave the city or airport heading toward I-95 southbound.
From Boston, MA (approx. 6 hours)
Take I-90 West (Mass Pike), then follow signs for I-84 West toward Hartford. Continue on I-84 West into New York, then connect to I-684 South, followed by I-287 South around the New York metro area. Finally, merge onto I-78 West into Pennsylvania where our residential treatment facility is located.
From Chicago, IL (approx. 11–12 hours)
To reach our healing sanctuary, take I-90/94 out of Chicago, then merge onto I-80/90 East. Stay on I-80 East across Indiana, Ohio, and into Pennsylvania. Near the Philadelphia region, connect to I-476 South toward Chester/Philadelphia.
