About Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania – Cedar Avenue

Effective mental health treatment involves more than medicine. Mercy Health System is committed to treating the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—through its comprehensive mental health services.
Mercy Health System offers medically managed detox services to people suffering from alcohol or other drug dependence. Care is provided by medical, nursing and counseling staff well trained in the management of the withdrawal and recovery process.
The program is designed to help people safely withdraw from substances and helps them learn about the disease and recovery process. It also connects them with appropriate continuing care services. In addition to full medical management, patients receive individual and group therapy, and psycho-educational services. Patients also are introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and post treatment referral for continuing care.
