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.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Medically Assisted Detox
A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting. When detoxing from addictive substances, the physical and psychological side effects of withdrawal can cause mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout this process.
Aftercare
Clients receiving services from a rehab aftercare program are usually stable and in the maintenance phase of recovery, having completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment. Rehab aftercare services can vary widely based on clients' individual and evolving needs, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, 12 step program induction, and medical, mental health, and social service referrals. Individual care plans are typically developed by the client in partnership with their case manager and care team.

Clinical Services
Individual Therapy
Personalized therapy sessions in Pennsylvania typically include a safe and nonjudgmental setting in which you can express your deepest emotions and feelings and explore the factors that have contributed to addiction. Therapists tailor the sessions to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, which improve your self control and build a foundation for your long term sobriety.
Group Therapy
Group therapy sessions in Pennsylvania offer you a safe space when you're struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. You can openly discuss your challenges and the progress you're making in rehabilitation. Sharing this responsibility with others in your group fosters a commitment to sobriety and helps create strong bonds with your peers.
