About WellSpan Philhaven

They have outpatient treatment programs and can help with opioids, alcohol, and nicotine addictions. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate for detox and maintenance. The doctors help create custom treatment plans that may include everyday changes such as to your diet and exercise routine.

They also have support for family members who have loved ones dealing with addiction and substance use issues. The center accepts most insurance plans in the area. They take Medicare and most Medicare supplement and Advantage plans.

Because this is a full service facility, they integrate with the other specialties. For instance, if you’re a new mom with postpartum depression, they’ll coordinate your mental health treatments with your maternity care.

The therapist creates a personalized treatment plan and works to address your needs and help you reach your goals. They use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), art therapy, and play therapy. You’ll use the therapies that work best for you. If necessary they can refer you to an inpatient program for more intensive care.

If the therapist feels medication is necessary for your mental health, you’ll see a psychiatrist. You’ll decide with your therapist when it’s time to end therapy. At least one former client felt the program was a lifesaver. Some clients weren’t as happy with their experiences.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review WellSpan and DBT — honest review I want to give an honest review based on my own experience with WellSpan and DBT. I came into this needing more than someone simply telling me to “think positive” or giving me generic advice. DBT gave me actual tools for dealing with difficult emotions, impulsive reactions, distress, and situations where my brain wants to go straight into fight-or-flight mode. What I appreciate most is that DBT doesn't require you to pretend that what you're feeling isn't real. It teaches you how to acknowledge what you're feeling while still learning how to choose what you do next. WellSpan has also given me a place where I could actually work on these things with people who were willing to listen. It hasn't magically fixed everything—and I don't think any honest review should pretend therapy works like a magic switch—but I have learned things I can actually use outside of the program. I've also learned that progress isn't always some dramatic breakthrough. Sometimes progress is recognizing an impulse and not acting on it. Sometimes it's communicating honestly instead of avoiding something. Sometimes it's simply getting through a difficult day without making the situation worse. I'm still working on myself. I still have difficult days. But I have more tools than I had before, and that's worth something. If you're considering WellSpan or DBT, I'd say give it a fair chance. Go in willing to participate, ask questions, and actually practice the skills. You may not walk out magically fixed—but you might walk out with a few tools that can make the next difficult moment easier to survive. And now for the Raccoon hello: Hello, fellow humans. I'm the slightly messed-up Viking raccoon wandering through the wilderness with a lantern in one hand and some extremely blunt words in the other. 🦝⚔️🏮 I'm not here to pretend I have everything figured out. I don't. I'm here because sometimes the weirdest people have the most interesting conversations, and sometimes a dark sense of humor is what gets you through another day. So consider this both a review and an invitation to interact. If you're struggling, you're not necessarily broken. Sometimes you're just a human being who's been through some ridiculous shit and is still figuring out what to do with it. Raccoon out. 🦝

This place is great i was one of the patients here that just recently left writing on a different gmail, if your a nurse or staff seeing this im the tall one of the “construction” team with the cool room. Shout out spicy sport she was a great staff. I came here because of a suicidal attempt and aggression and the psychiatrist recommended me good methods to help like medicine, therapy and other skills. This place is pretty good I don’t understand the bad reviews but everyone has there reasons, I was in two altercations with some peers I was put along with, and staff was very quick to separate us and make things right. Staff is very strict with moderation among the patients even though I would say the rules are a little strict but I don’t blame them it IS a hospital. Overall I liked my stay staff was nice, I was kept away from anything that can harm me it’s a very secured place and if you do what you gotta do you’ll be out quick safe and sound.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

WellSpan Philhaven works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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

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.

I was hospitalized here in June of 2024 and (quite memorably) had intentionally flooded the bathroom because I believed I was being sucked into the shower drain (I had psychosis following a major sinus infection). At the time I had left a negative review because it was overall just a terrible experience, but with hindsight that wasn’t really the staff’s fault. I also work in psych now myself, and sometimes medicating someone until they go to sleep and hoping they feel better when they wake up is really all you can do. Many thanks to the ladies who dragged my panicked and uncooperative self out of the shower, it needed to happen 🫶

Doctor said he was going to flood my system with Abilify. Well he did that, but should probably have looked AT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE DRUG BEFORE DOING THAT. These injections have given me crippling insomnia and restlessness like you wouldn’t believe. These injections were given to me almost a month and a half ago and I’m still dealing with odd side effects. Maybe start with a lower dosage before going balls to the wall doc. Terrible beds at this place. The staff is nice, but THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO THERE. You can color or go to groups. That’s about IT. Overall a bad experience. Only slightly better than Belmont in Philly.

Philhaven is quite literally hell on Earth. From the moment I arrived to the day I left I honestly felt worse than when I first entered. The staff and doctors are a massive joke. Any concerns we the patients had were ignored and punished. The conditions of the unit was shameful and the food was always cold and rancid. And for those that are vegetarian, vegan or have a very specific diet: that will be ignored also. I honestly felt more connections with the other patients than I did the staff. People with mental health diagnoses deserve better. Please please PLEASE stay away from this inhumane “hospital”
