About Wedge Recovery Centers – South Office

Wedge Recovery Centers – South Office is a behavioral health facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They treat people with substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD.) They also offer treatment for people with co-occurring disorders.

They accept referrals from inpatient and residential facilities. They also work with justice system clients and take referrals from the courts and probation officers. They accept self referrals as well.

You will have a full assessment when you enter the program. If you have OUD, They can provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) to ease the pain of withdrawal. The staff can provide buprenorphine and naloxone injections. Buprenorphine is a synthetic opioid that mimics the effects of illicit opioids in the body without the euphoric effect. Naloxone is a medication used to treat people for opioid overdose. It blocks the effects of opioids in the body.

They have several different group therapy sessions throughout the week. Some of the sessions focus on coping mechanisms for dealing with stress, and others may focus on educating you on the effects of drugs on your body.

You will have individual therapy sessions that are customized to your needs. You may be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy in which a therapist will guide you into thinking differently in order to change behaviors that are hurting you. In some cases, they may use motivational interviewing in which they will ask you questions that will help you to find your own motivation to change.

Former clients say that the program changed their lives. They say the treatment gave them the confidence they needed to move forward without the use of substances.

Why is a recovery center cold calling people? Is this a business or a center to help people?

This facility should be investigated, closed, and condemned! A revolving door of people coming in and out, drug dealers on the corner dealing to people who just walked out, sometimes they have addicts just passed out or begging and panhandling at the front of their building or at their door. The building looks poorly cared for, the inside appears dirty and disorganized. This facility is a detriment to greater Passyunk Square and brings nothing but blight to this block of Broad Street!

At first i liked this place because of a good therapist i had, but once he left everything just went downhill. My psychiatrist NEVER refills my medication. Currently, i have been calling and leaving messages for more than a WEEK straight and have been OFF of my medication due to my psychiatrist not refilling my medications. They completely went silent. no contact. nothing. They even removed the option to speak to someone at the front desk. I tried every option on the phone and NOBODY answers the phone calls. Im being effected currently since i do not have my medications and i dont know what else to do. This place is absolutely terrible . They do NOT care if you are struggling without ur medication. UPDATE: im leaving another review because of how terrible this place is. almost EVERY single time i needed my medication refilled my psychiatrist would forget ( EVEN WHEN I WAS SEEING A THERAPIST HERE ) and i would have to call this lady to ask her to ask my psychiatrist to refill it. my therapist LEFT so i was put back onto a wait list and when i was finally given a new therapist she called me once and just said “you can come in tomorrow” without even asking and when i called her back several times she never call me back . for a few months i didn’t have a therapist but i was still on my medication. when i needed another refill i didn’t get one so i called the lady i usually call and left voicemessages for a week or more and nobody got back to me. the funniest part is when i left a review someone reached out to me, not because ive been calling about struggling being off my medication but he called me asking if i left a bad review. he then said they took me off of my medication. no warning. you are NOT supposed to just stop taking meds. i am experiencing BAD withdrawals and i cant do anything about it. its hard for me to even go to work now because the withdrawals are making me feel extremely drained , dizzy, sweating , having flu-like symptoms ( which i read that when u get taken off meds it can give you that) , threw up , stomach issues and my anxiety is higher. i had to legit change therapy places and i found a new therapist at a different place. Wade said he took me off because u have to be seeing a therapist there …. even though i was on my medication for a good few MONTHS without seeing a therapist so i knew that was bs AND they never once informed me . so don’t you think someone would have at least called saying “hey just to let u know, u need to see a therapist in order to refill your meds” . this place is so disgusting. they really just take you off your meds when you’re supposed to wean someone off of their meds , not just stop completely. it’s unprofessional another issue i had is when i saw my psychiatrist before ( ik she is the oldest one there . not sure of her name ) i had asked her about a medication’s side effecte. i told her that i didn’t want a medication that will give a sexual dysfunction and she legit told me “maybe you need a sexual dysfunction” and would be asking me why i wanted to have sex….. which is literally disgusting and unprofessional ( im 22 for context , not a child ) . she also asked me if i smoked weed and when i said yes she said maybe i should go to rehab …. i never once said i was addicted to it i just said i smoked it …

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) 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.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to focus solely on their sobriety away from the stressors of the home and workplace. Clients receive housing, food, and intensive clinical supervision. They also typically engage in multiple addiction counseling sessions each week, including daily individual, group, and/or family sessions. Most programs also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training, including courses in relapse prevention. Many facilities offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation.

Aftercare Support

Clients receiving services from a rehab aftercare program are usually stable and in the maintenance phase of recovery, having completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment. Rehab aftercare services can vary widely based on clients' individual and evolving needs, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, 12 step program induction, and medical, mental health, and social service referrals. Individual care plans are typically developed by the client in partnership with their case manager and care team.

12-Step

12 step programs prioritize the recovery journey as a life-long process based on personal spiritual growth and ongoing peer support. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are held multiple times each day in most communities, is expected. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring by a self-selected peer sponsor. The 12 steps are designed to encourage participants' self-compassion, awareness, acceptance, and accountability. Dedicated programs for specialized groups, including seniors, teens, and families, are common.

Partial Hospitalization Program

With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you can participate in intensive rehabilitation treatment with the ability to return home at the end of the day. For a weekly minimum of 20 hours, a partial hospitalization program can take place up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. During PHP treatment, you can receive relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions.

Medically Assisted Detox

A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting. When detoxing from addictive substances, the physical and psychological side effects of withdrawal can cause mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout this process.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program

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.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

They said that they didn't accept my insurance but wouldn't help me by guiding me to a I. O. P. that does take my insurance, they just turned me away. They tried to send me to a place that does physicals and has no I. O. P. in the facility.

Hey there - we are sorry to hear about your experience with us, and we’d like to understand your situation better. If you’re still open to working with us, give our main number a call (215.276.3922) and ask to speak to our Substance Abuse Division Director, who will be able to assist you and/or offer more information.

This is an Amazing Revovery Center. Lots of Recovery Advocates at this location. The Management & Staff are wholeheartedly devoted to their participants. We did an Community Resource Tabling Event for them @ DBHIDS CWEU Crisis Team. 🇺🇸 🙏

Hi! Thanks for the glowing review! We are big fans of our DBH partners as well!

Sara S

Helped a friend get services here, big mistake. They asked for his SSN on their paperwork but should not have, and now he got a letter saying there was a data breach. He's an atheist but said intake person asked him leading questions like "Did you find that growing up without religion harmed you?" Really? Are you there to judge him or help him? It's a shame because its tough to find people in need the services that will help them, and then it's no help at all.

Hi Sara, we are sorry to hear about your friend’s experience here. We appreciate your feedback, and are currently investigating your complaint. We hope that your friend would also be willing to discuss their concerns with our Substance Abuse Division Director; they may call 215.276.3922 and ask to speak to her, so we can resolve the issues and make visits at the Wedge a more positive experience for all.
