Intensive Inpatient and Outpatient Addiction Treatment

Penn Presbyterian offers a range of addiction treatment programs designed to meet the individual needs of each patient. Both inpatient and outpatient services are available. All programs incorporate individual and group counseling, psychoeducational sessions and family support. Participation in AA, NA or CA meetings is an integral part of the recovery process.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment
This program is designed for individuals who can benefit from treatment three days per week, for three hours each day. Patients participate in individual and group counseling and educational lectures and meetings. We also offer a specialized Women's Recovery Program. Assistance with Day Care is Available.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment
Penn Presbyterian has 46 beds for inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation. The program is designed for ambulatory and voluntary patients interested in addiction treatment. The program is equipped to handle patients with a minor secondary psychiatric disorder or a co-occurring medical condition that does not prevent them from full participation in the program. Please contact the Assessment Center at 215-662-8747 for any questions regarding admission into any of our inpatient programs.

The units of Wright 4 and Scheie 3 offer medically managed programs for individuals suffering from a primary addiction problem. The Non-Hospital Program is for patients requiring medically monitored treatment. The treatment teams on all units include a Psychiatrist, 24-hour Registered nursing staff, and Addiction Counselors.
