About FIRST STOP RECOVERY

First Stop Recovery is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This center offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) in a residential setting for those seeking to break free from substance use disorder and mental health instability. They also have a housing program that offers semi and private rooms for a 30, 90 or 120-day program, depending on your need for care and treatment. 

Recovery Support in Philadelphia

You can access I-95 and I-676 to transportation to and from your treatment and services. Just a short drive away are several natural landmarks you can visit including the Awbury Arboretum, Laurel Hill East, Clark Park and the Belmont Plateau. 

They also offer community support, group meetings at their onsite coffee house, which promotes peer support as you step towards long-term recovery. I love that their women’s intake program is led by Alice, who is affectionately known as ‘Mom’ at First Stop. They also have a men’s re-entry intake provider, a doctor on staff and other support providers to assist you during your care. 

One-On-One Counseling Through IOP Program

Their IOP program provides therapy and one-on-one counseling to treat and address past traumas that may have led to your addiction. They also focus on healing through peer support meetings where you can discuss any challenges you face during your sobriety journey with like-minded individuals who may have experienced or are facing similar challenges in life. 

Empowering Victims to Become Victorious 

They focus on promoting empowerment to those who may have, in the past, felt like victims, but are now on the road to victory. They are also active in their neighborhood of East Kensington, and want to reshape its reputation as being a place where heroin and other opioid addictions were rampant and turn it into a community of healing. 

Free for Re-Entry Clients 

Their program is free to participants and focuses on clients who are experiencing housing displacement due to their addictions and mental health conditions. 

They also work with individuals who are re-entering society following incarceration. They offer job training and placement opportunities and provide a warm and welcoming environment for recovery.

Isn't open on Sundays, we found out the hard way by showing up on site. Were in a recovery house, and with 5 hours prior notice told that we had to go to this particular meeting on Sunday at 6pm or be written up. So, we swallow the bullet, decide we had nothing to do, even though I did have laundry planned before being told we HAD to go to this meeting, and went. It was closed! Sundays are closed. Our recovery house, if they even attend meetings themselves, would have known this. This is the exact reason why you never implement rules without giving ample time to adjust. Illegal as hell this place is, this is the least of the illegal stuff they are pulling off. Rich, the director happened to be coming outside while we were trying to figure out if maybe just maybe they were late opening. We told him our situation and he had no problem giving us his number so we could give it to our house managers (if that's what you wanna call them) so we could prove we were there, on time, at the right location too. I hope in the near future we can make a meeting here. A review won't be far behind. #WeDoRecover

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Clients engaged in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) live and work in their home community while receiving frequent, high-level care. These programs offer personalized care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, but high-risk clients and those in early recovery may receive up to 20 hours of care weekly. IOP services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as massage.

Treatments

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.

Programs

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
