The Interim House

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

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Philadelphia.

Philadelphia has 198 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 10 named here.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Philadelphia, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.

Addiction treatment sits alongside other medical benefits on most plans, so some coverage is the normal case. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
