They’ve been in operation since 1958 when concerned citizens and community leaders desired to address the need for individuals to access mental health services in Northeast Philadelphia.
Their outpatient services are designed to promote recovery and wellness. Clients will receive treatment from a trained multidisciplinary treatment team that will provide care that’s evidence based and individualized.
The services clients will receive in the outpatient department include individual, family, group, and couples therapy. Counselors in individual therapy will help clients change negative thoughts and behavioral patterns that can contribute to their substance use. They’ll likely use therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Clients may also learn other helpful tools for preventing relapse, such as anger management and coping skills.
Group therapy will allow clients to receive support from peers and learn more about how they can maintain their sobriety. Mental illness can sometimes be a contributing factor to addiction. Patients who need medication to manage their mental illness will have access to medication management and medication consultation.
If patients need help accessing other resources, the blended case management service can help link them to housing, transportation, and other services that can help support their continued sobriety.
