Place is awful. Avoid going here at all costs. I’ve never had as many issues as I have here. Seems like this place is going to shut down, but if you ask me it can’t happen soon enough. Worst place ever.
About Chimes – Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems
Since 2000, Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems has been providing behavioral health and substance abuse recovery services to youths and adults in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. This area is renowned for its rich history, diverse cultural heritage and numerous outdoor activities, featuring parks, an art center and historical exhibitions.
These attractions make attending outpatient and residential treatment at this center even more worthwhile for some individuals who want to supplement their recovery with social and natural activities. Besides outpatient and residential treatment, substance abuse assessment services for youths are also available for parents whose child is in the process of being passed through the juvenile detention system.
Prevention Assistance and Help For Parents
It can be challenging to navigate substance abuse when it plays a role in whether or not your child enters the juvenile detention system. If you want to confirm drug or alcohol use and seek treatment for your child, this center’s assessment service might be helpful.
At Chimes’s Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems center, adolescents can undergo a legal assessment if it is suspected or known and receive recommendations for treatment if needed. Often, you can use these assessments for court hearings or in meetings between you and your attorneys on behalf of your child.
Additionally, this center provides prevention education services to children and adolescents as well as adults. These services help support those facing mental health concerns before substance abuse issues can develop. One such service is Delaware County’s Beginning Awareness Basic Education Studies (BABES) program, designed for children in grades K through 2.
Specialized Outpatient Services
Children and adults can benefit from the specialized co-occurring disorders group, which is a substance abuse outpatient program. This group is meant for those who are struggling with overcoming mental health issues alongside substance abuse problems. It’s known for being friendly, supportive and accommodating, with the center ensuring at least one session is held in Spanish.
Family-Style Residential Treatment for Adults
If you’re 18 and older and looking for family style residential treatment, you might find the Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems group home suitable. This group home differs from others in that it is for those diagnosed with mental illnesses, intellectual disabilities or co-occurring disorders.

My older son has his IBHS services through Holcombe, and we went to this location when he had his initial intake. With the exception of one really awful behavioral consultant, (who has since left the company) the staff and therapists here are fantastic. They’re communicative, reliable and know what they’re doing. My son really trusts and responds to the therapist and behavioral consultant that work with him.
I would recommend their services.
Would absolutely not reccommend. Do not go here.
Please don t go here.

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare. Outpatient treatment is available for children and adults.
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). The IOP is designed for individuals with more extensive needs and interventions entail approximately nine hours of group and individual sessions a week.
Their residential program is designed for adults age 18 and older with mental health illness and offers 24 hr/day staffing and support. Case management is also offered in order to aid the person's reintegration into the community. The length of stay can be up to three years. For residential services, individuals must go to their nearest office location and they will help him/her to get into treatment.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
In Pennsylvania, substance abuse treatment programs can help address addiction and any co-occurring mental health problems. These programs incorporate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychoeducation to help you uncover the underlying causes for your substance use and develop new skills to help you manage stress and overcome future triggers which may challenge your sobriety.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Dialectical behavior therapy in Pennsylvania is an evidence based technique that involves group therapy, individual therapy, and phone coaching. Group sessions focus on learning behavioral skills. Individual therapy gives you the opportunity to apply what you're learning to your personal situations. Phone coaching allows you to call your therapist during the week for help with challenging situations.
