Kirkbride Center

They provide outpatient, inpatient residential and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Philadelphia is set up for.

They provide detox for 4 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Philadelphia has 8 other centers.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Philadelphia may not have a second place set up for it.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Philadelphia that often means one room rather than two.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Lansdowne.

Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

Both get treated together at the programs that do this properly, by one team. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.

It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.
