Our most structured outpatient level of care, with a full clinical day at our Phoenixville, Philadelphia or Avondale office while you continue living at home.

Explore our IOP program →Secure online care · Statewide access
Clinically appropriate Pennsylvania residents can join structured groups and therapy from home without traveling to one of our three offices.
Explore our statewide virtual IOP →Among adults with a substance use disorder, a large share also live with a diagnosable mental illness — most often depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder or ADHD.[1][2]
Integrated treatment — one team addressing both conditions together — produces better outcomes than treating them separately or in sequence.[1][3]
In practice this is what it looks like locally: the Chester County client whose drinking is untreated panic disorder, the Philadelphia client whose fentanyl use started after an assault, the KOP professional whose Adderall and cocaine use is undiagnosed ADHD.
Sending someone to a therapist across town while they attend addiction group somewhere else asks the client to be their own care coordinator during the hardest month of their life. We do not do that here.

Last updated:
One intake, one treatment plan, one team — psychiatry, therapy and addiction programming built around each other rather than scheduled around each other.
Our medical director evaluates mood, anxiety, trauma, psychotic and attention symptoms and manages medication on-site — including non-habit-forming options for clients with a history of dependence.
EMDR and Seeking Safety are used inside the program for PTSD and complex trauma, so trauma work is not deferred to "after you get some clean time."
Cognitive behavioral therapy plus DBT-informed distress tolerance and emotion-regulation skills — the tools that keep a bad night from becoming a relapse.
Caseload groups of five to seven people and two individual sessions each week mean co-occurring symptoms get caught and addressed the week they appear.
Families learn how depression, bipolar disorder or PTSD interact with substance use, and get a role in recovery instead of a front-row seat to the cycle.
Yoga, meditation, Reiki, soundbath, art, music and recreational therapy, basketball, a full on-site gym and monthly dietitian counseling — sleep, movement and nutrition move mental health as much as any group does.
Questions about dual diagnosis treatment?
Call (610) 233-4342Substances are effective short-term medication. Alcohol quiets anxiety, opioids numb trauma, stimulants lift depression and compensate for ADHD — which is exactly why abstinence alone tends not to last when the underlying condition is untreated.[1][2]
Relapse rates for substance use disorders run 40–60%, comparable to other chronic illnesses. A relapse means the plan needs adjusting, not that the person failed.[4]
Suicide risk is elevated in co-occurring disorders, so screening is not a formality here. If you are in crisis right now, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or 911 in an emergency.
For everything short of an emergency, call (610) 233-4342. Admissions answers 24/7, verifies insurance in minutes and can schedule an assessment that covers both conditions at once.

It means a substance use disorder and a mental health condition — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder or ADHD — occurring together. The clinical term is co-occurring disorders, and integrated treatment addresses both at once.[1]
Both, together. Research consistently favors integrated treatment over treating one condition and then the other, and that is how our PHP and IOP days are structured.[1][3]
Yes. Our medical director reviews your current medications at intake and adjusts only with you, in coordination with your outside prescriber when you have one.
Yes, and carefully. Undiagnosed ADHD is a common driver of stimulant and alcohol use. Treatment options — including non-stimulant medications where dependence is a concern — are evaluated individually.
In most cases yes. Federal parity law requires most plans to cover mental health and substance use treatment comparably to medical care, and we accept most major carriers. Call (610) 233-4342 for a confidential benefits check.
