About Jefferson Methadone Clinic 21st Street

Jefferson Health operates a network of 32 hospitals, 700 clinics and over 55,000 employees. It stands out as an academic healthcare network serving residents of Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They operate inpatient and outpatient behavioral health clinics for individuals facing substance use and co-occurring psychiatric challenges. These programs serve teens, adults and seniors, including LGBTQ+ individuals, people living with HIV/AIDS and pregnant or postpartum women.

Adults of Philadelphia County facing opioid use challenges and co-occurring conditions can access the Narcotic Addiction Rehabilitation Program. Hosted in Philadelphia, this specialized outpatient program features medication-assisted treatment (MAT), psychiatric services and social support. The clinic is nestled in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood of South Philly. It’s a short walk south of the Thomas Hockley House, east of Chew Playground and northwest of Stephen Girard Park.

Note that you must have active Philadelphia Medicaid (CBH) coverage to be eligible for this program.

Medication-Supported Recovery For Opioid Addiction

You’ll be prescribed either methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone through MAT as part of a personalized recovery plan. These FDA-approved medications ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Counseling helps you build healthier coping strategies for lasting sobriety. You’ll also benefit from the support of Certified Recovery Specialists who’ve walked a similar path and are there to guide and encourage you.

Blended Services for Lifelong Wellness

Your therapist helps you navigate co-occurring challenges like gambling addiction and underlying patterns that may fuel your opioid use. The program integrates HIV and Hepatitis C screening and treatment as part of unified care to promote overall health and prevent complications during recovery.

A case manager will help you coordinate services, access housing and employment resources, and navigate benefits or legal concerns. Referrals are provided for primary medical conditions that require specialized care beyond the clinic’s scope.
