About us

Kensington Hospital – Addiction Services, an independent recovery center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania signifying its commitment to maintaining high standards of care. The center offers comprehensive treatment plans tailored for adults struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. Key services include medically supervised detoxification, inpatient care, and medication-assisted treatment, all designed to support patients through each stage of their recovery journey. Additionally, Kensington Hospital provides individualized care plans and continuous support to ensure lasting sobriety and well-being.

At Kensington Hospital, treatment typically begins with a residential detoxification program, if necessary. This program ensures 24/7 supervision, with a dedicated case management team closely monitoring patients as they stabilize. For those experiencing withdrawal symptoms, methadone may be administered to alleviate discomfort. Throughout the inpatient stay, comprehensive medication management is provided to prevent relapse and support sustained recovery.

After completing detox, patients transition into residential care, where they participate in a variety of individual and group therapy sessions. This collaborative environment fosters peer support and shared recovery experiences. Additionally, the program includes harm reduction classes and provides practical tips on preventing relapse, equipping patients with the necessary tools for long-term recovery.

Upon completing the inpatient program, patients continue to receive medication management on an outpatient basis, ensuring ongoing support in their recovery journey. Comprehensive continuing care is available, including primary health services to address overall well-being. Additionally, Kensington Hospital features a mobile unit as part of its outreach program, providing essential services such as wound care to the community.

Kensington Hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission.
