About Gaudenzia – Women and Children Program – Philadelphia
Guadenzia- Women’s and Children’s Program offers specialized substance use disorder treatment for pregnant women and mothers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Guadenzia provides residential treatment, medication assisted treatment, and dual diagnosis treatment.
The residential program at Guadenzia for women and children focuses on keeping the family together and allows women to know their children are safe while they undergo treatment. This program offers a high-intensity and a low-intensity residential treatment track, which is dependent on each person’s unique situation and goals. Childcare is available.
Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long-term sobriety is achieved.
Medication Assisted Treatment provides medications along with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and behavioral counseling. FDA approved medications are used to support withdrawal from opioid drugs and to help maintain long-term abstinence. By combining medication with mental health treatment, a greater chance of success is achieved for long-term abstinence.
