Addiction Medicine and Health Advocates

Addiction Medicine and Health Advocates (AMHA) is an outpatient treatment center in Philadelphia that helps people struggling with addiction, especially opioid use disorder. They offer two levels of care: outpatient and intensive outpatient. A key part of their program is methadone maintenance, which is available at both levels.
AMHA uses a holistic approach to treatment, understanding that addiction affects each person differently. Clients work with counselors to build a treatment plan that fits their own goals and needs. Therapy options include individual counseling, group sessions, psychoeducation, and family therapy. These services help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and stay committed to recovery.
In addition to therapy, AMHA offers medical evaluations, drug screening, aftercare planning, and referrals for medical or vocational support. Their team also works to educate the public about addiction and recovery. By supporting not just patients, but also their families and communities, AMHA creates a strong network of care that helps people stay on the path to wellness.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Addiction Medicine and Health Advocates provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Addiction Medicine and Health Advocates offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 7 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Addiction Medicine and Health Advocates works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
