About Malvern Treatment Centers-King Road – Malvern
Malvern Treatment Centers is a private addiction treatment provider with three locations. The primary location is in Malvern, Pennsylvania on West King Road, and is a CARF accredited inpatient treatment center that offers intervention, detox, and residential services for clients with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The hospital uses the 12 Step Model of recovery. Payment shouldn’t be an obstacle since the hospital is in network with all the major insurance providers as well as Pennsylvania Medicaid.
The hospital is about 30 miles west of Philadelphia City Hall making it convenient for clients in Chester and Philadelphia Counties. The programs are evidence based and use a 90 day treatment model.
The 90 day model includes detox of about eight days. Residential treatment varies and is between 2-4 weeks after which most clients go to a partial hospitalization program (PHP) for 2-4 weeks. Clients may then go to the intensive outpatient program (IOP) followed by a general outpatient program. The IOP is 2-4 weeks and then clients are in the general outpatient program for as long as necessary.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available. Clients on MAT must participate in a 12 step program and submit to random drug tests.
One of the unique programs at this location is the Women’s Empowerment Program (WE). The treatment team recognizes the importance of gender specific addiction treatment for men and women.
Due to the prevalence of trauma in women with substance use disorders (SUD), the team specializes in getting to the root of the trauma history. The program is in a separate hospital wing and women have their own communal spaces. There are female aides and counselors so the space offers safety for women exploring underlying mental health issues.
Additionally, women participate in music therapy, art therapy, meditation, and yoga. They attend groups that teach coping skills that help clients avoid substance use. Clients learn how to manage ongoing mental health symptoms and learn about healthy boundaries while building resilience.
