About Greater Philadelphia Asian Social Service Center
Greater Philadelphia’s Asian Social Service Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a nonprofit organization that provides individualized treatment for substance use and mental health disorders. Clients can receive outpatient treatment and medication assisted treatment. They allow individuals to walk in or schedule an appointment to get started with the program.
The criteria for admission are a patient must have a drug or alcohol addiction and must be committed to participating in treatment. The length of time that each individual will be a part of the program will vary based on specific needs.
The center accepts payment through most forms of private health insurance.
During the intake process, a counselor will review a client’s substance abuse history, medical history and current health. Through this assessment, it will be determined what treatment approach is and how often individual and group sessions will be conducted.
In general, clients will be assigned a therapist on the same day of their intake along with a treatment schedule. For clients who have a dual diagnosis, psychiatrists are available to provide medication for treatment and conduct mental health medication management.
In individual therapy, counselors will use cognitive behavioral interventions to help patients heal from their addiction. Greater Philadelphia Asian Social Service Center strives to assign a specific counselor that fits with a client’s individual needs.
I like that the facility supervises its clinicians to make sure that clients are getting the best treatment possible. In group therapy, clients will receive support from peers and gain coping skills that will help them with long term recovery.
Additionally, medication assisted treatment is available to help with reducing cravings. The medications the doctors prescribe at the facility include Vivitrol and Suboxone.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
