Caron Philadelphia Addiction Treatment Center Details
Serving the Greater Philadelphia region with expertise and support to achieve long-term recovery.
Program Overview
Providing critical resources for adults 18+ in the Greater Philadelphia Region
Comprehensive Drug and Alcohol Assessments
A thorough assessment of the patient's emotional, behavioral, and environmental health, including their physical/medical history, gives staff the information necessary to recommend next steps. An attending psychiatrist is available for evaluation and medication management when indicated.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): This co-ed program is designed for adults (age 18 and above) who are coming from the community, detox, or residential treatment. The IOP offers structure with flexibility so that patients can keep their work and/or school and personal schedules while in treatment. An experienced outpatient therapist leads three group therapy sessions weekly:
Psychoeducation about addiction, prevention, and recovery
Education on family systems, healthy boundaries, effective communication, coping, and other critical skills
Experiential and process-based therapeutic techniques
The program also includes individual therapy sessions as clinically indicated. Caron Philadelphia's medical director provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management as needed.
Teen General Outpatient Group: This weekly outpatient group for teens ages 14 to 18 provides in-depth education about addiction and recovery, so patients better understand the degree to which substance use has impacted them. They also learn how to regulate their emotions, overcome self-defeating attitudes, and solve problems in healthier and more constructive ways. Therapists use experiential and process-based therapeutic techniques delivered through a supportive, inclusive, and trauma-informed lens. As clinically indicated, teens may also receive individual counseling.
Recovery Maintenance Group: Adult patients learn coping skills, good self-care, and how to deal with emotions and solve problems in everyday life as a way to further facilitate long-term sobriety.
Individual therapy: With one-on-one sessions, patients receive support and guidance tailored to their needs. The therapist guides the patient as they work through issues related to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders that may be impacting their recovery.
Adult trauma-focused group: The group therapy approach to treating trauma is supported in the research as it allows participants a sense of commonality, which we know is a central healing component. Group members become empowered as they combat shame and find value and acceptance along with new insights, skills, and behaviors. Patients focus on trauma's effect on their lives and how it may intersect with other behaviors, including substance use. Psychoeducation, expressive art, and trauma-informed experiential therapy provide a safe and holistic approach to treatment.
Individual therapy: This may be included in a patient’s treatment plan as a stand-alone component or as part of a patient’s trauma group programming. Our trauma clinicians are certified trauma professionals or certified clinical trauma professionals. Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the trauma-focused interventions utilized.
Family/couples counseling: Family members and the patient can set up sessions with a therapist to identify, discuss, and address issues related to how the family has been impacted by the patient’s addiction and to learn healthy ways of coping and relating, including setting boundaries and self-care.

Recovery Support Services: Individualized, clinically driven services for patients and their families as offer support for the transition to their lives in recovery.
