About Kensington Hospital
Kensington Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is an independent and accredited, nonprofit, community-based primary care facility. It also provides behavioral health services through inpatient and outpatient programs. This includes addiction treatment.
Withdrawal Management & Community Behavioral Services
Clients here can access detox services through the hospital’s inpatient withdrawal program. This is a great starting point for individuals beginning their addiction recovery journey. Clients can benefit from a safe, comfortable environment in which to undergo the detox process. Residents receive medical supervision with support mitigating uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
The facility favors a holistic treatment approach and provides individual and group therapy, case management, as well as medication assisted treatment (MAT) to ease discomfort and lessen the risk of relapse. Aftercare options are discussed throughout the program so clients know what to expect once they reach the end of their detox and to ensure continuity of care.

Following detox, many clients opt for residential addiction treatment. This program provides daily structure and routine to support individuals in making healthier choices and features optimal support as they work through their recovery.
Individual and group therapy are provided via motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and classes to teach harm reduction. Residents benefit from 24/7 medical supervision, case management services, and the option of engaging in MAT, specifically methadone maintenance
The MMT Outpatient Program
