This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

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.
