About Kensington Hospital

Kensington Hospital - Addiction Services is an independent recovery center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is accredited by The Joint Commission. They have treatment plans for adults who have alcohol and drug addiction issues. Services include detox, inpatient care, and medication assisted treatment.

At Kensington Hospital, your treatment will usually begin with detox, if needed. The detox program is residential, which means you’ll be supervised 24/7. A case management team will monitor you as you stabilize. If necessary, methadone may be given to help relieve your withdrawal pains. Medication management is available throughout your inpatient stay so you won’t relapse.

After detox, you’ll transition into residential care. You’ll have a range of individual and group therapy, so you can recover with your peers offering support. There will also be harm reduction classes and tips on how to avoid relapsing.

Once you graduate from your inpatient program, you’ll continue to receive medication management on an outpatient basis. Continuing care is also available, with primary health services provided. A mobile unit is also featured as part of an outreach program to help with wound care.

As of this writing, an intensive outpatient program is in development in case you continue to need counseling while recovering at home.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

aftercare iconAftercare

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.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services bring extensive experience to the planning and conducting of drug interventions in Pennsylvania. These experts can facilitate interventions in a sensitive manner that encourages positive outcomes. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about addiction and the consequences of their substance use and encourage them to get the treatment they need. Interventions can be effective with all types of drugs and alcohol addiction.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

Because the severity of withdrawal symptoms can fluctuate, constant monitoring under 24-hour clinical care in Pennsylvania is recommended for early recovery. As you undergo detox, medical staff will supervise your health and ensure severe symptoms do not develop or threaten your life. Professional counselors will also be available to treat mental and emotional health needs.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Pennsylvania can be helpful to individuals who are experiencing substance use disorder and various mental health conditions. It helps you identify damaging thought and behavior patterns and replace them with healthy ones.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

It is important to process the impact that traumatic experiences have had on your life. During trauma therapy, you and an experienced therapist confront these experiences and the emotional impact it is had. This helps to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety and improve your overall mental health and well being.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

I'll tell you what this place seriously helped me not once not twice but 3x. My very first time I was 17 years old struggling with addiction me being 17 I couldn't get admitted and go on the detox floor with the others. I was on the floor with awhile bunch of old people I had my own room that was the best experience I remember having there. Unfortunately I went back 2 more times after. Unfortunately several of my family members ended up going there also . This place helps you only if you allow them to help . If you go in there with a stank attitude your not gonna get good treatment. Paul & the lady that works with him in the office are very nice people. Not only did they help me they helped my family. It isn't easy living in Philadelphia it's what you make of it. I am currently 6 years sober. My son's father is currently in there right now that's what made me write this review I never thought he would get clean every detox he went to he left the next day because of the withdrawal symptoms and being too uncomfortable. He has been in there 7 days as of tomorrow. They are obviously doing something right in there if he is still in there 7 days later without any attempts to leave. I thank you Kensi for helping me my family and now my son's father. If you want it to work it will work . It's not the finest place . It's there to service your needs. Make the best out of it. Seriously

IF ANYONE HAS RATED THIS PLACE OVER 1 STAR, I ASSURE YOU THAT IT IS A FAKE REVIEW!!!!! Dr. Zaheer Chaudry (of the dental apartment) is extremely disrespectful. He did not care to even read my referral from the Perio Group and wanted me x-rayed and examined regardless (the more work they do, the more they can charge you)! The mouth piece of their x-ray machine is stained and they offer NO plastic covering (employee told me they "have not been funded" and whispered they "did not even have mouthwash"!When I asked for my genuine concerns to be addressed (he kept ignoring my questions and instead talked about how he wanted to extract 4 of my wisdom teeth), he responded by saying I can take my opinions and talk to my friends about them later. I was so shocked to be treated this way by a SUPPOSEDLY professional dentist, I did not even know how to respond. In addition to this, he continually cut me off and said things like "keyword", which disrespectfully implied he did not feel I was intelligent enough to be spoken to like a regular person. I did not know I could leave until ANOTHER employee INSISTED that I go home in response to the constant disrespect.THE FIRST RED FLAG WAS THE FACT THAT THE HOSPITAL LITERALLY LOOKED LIKE AN APARTMENT BUILDING. DON'T COME HERE EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION. How the heck is this place NOT closed down?PLEASE trust this review before going. I have NO reason to lie. That doctor is crazy and NEEDS to be fired. They also said they were booked throughout the week, yet all of their rooms were empty; I was the only patient there.

I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. I started at Jefferson which is great and was sent here to finish off my antibiotics and talk about night and day. The food is terrible and they treat you like an animal. The Drs don't listen to what you say and the rooms are filthy. My room has no heat and since the weather has turned it has been freezing cold. This place is an embarrassment to the nursing and Dr professions unlike Jefferson which gave me the best care possible and the Drs there always explained everything and made sure I was comfortable.
