The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard

Located in Philadelphia, this treatment center supports people facing substance use disorder (SUD), mental health challenges, and co-occurring challenges. Levels of care include inpatient detox, psychiatric stabilization, outpatient therapy, and long-term residential programs. Specialized tracks serve men, women, Spanish-speaking participants, and individuals transitioning from homelessness or the justice system. Their mission emphasizes accessible, community-based healing and long-term recovery.
The approach blends medical expertise with creative and evidence-based therapies. Services include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone, Suboxone, or Vivitrol, alongside individual counseling, group therapy, and psychiatric care. Participants also engage in art, music, and movement therapy, which encourage self-expression and emotional growth. Staff emphasize cultural sensitivity, trauma recovery, and family reunification, tailoring services to support lasting change and community reintegration.
Residential programs focus on structure and stability, pairing clinical care with daily life support. Participants receive 24-hour nursing, psychiatric oversight, and guidance from addiction counselors. Recovery is enriched through access to leisure activities, social and cultural engagement, and supportive housing after treatment. Programs for both men and women create spaces where accountability, integrity, and connection are fostered, helping individuals build life skills and confidence for sustained wellness.
