About Fairmount Behavioral Health System
Fairmount Behavioral Health System is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They provide support for adults and adolescents who are experiencing behavioral health and addiction use disorders. There are both residential and outpatient (OP) settings. In either case, you'll have access to evidence based therapies. You’ll also work with trained and experienced clinical staff who will help you on the path to sobriety.
Your treatment team will take a whole-person approach and trauma focused approach to care. They will take the time to understand your unique recovery needs. Once completed, they’ll create an individualized treatment plan to address those needs.
For some folks, care will include detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT). Medication assisted treatment using FDA approved medications like methadone or suboxone can help you manage withdrawals and cravings. Meds are available only for co-occurring disorders, though.
When you reach a point of stabilization, you'll begin benefiting from their therapies. There are various social work and clinical services. You’ll work with experienced counselors who will help determine the root cause of your addiction use. If there is an underlying mental health disorder at play, that will be addressed and treated as well.
The active medical staff provides round the clock care through both nursing care and allied therapy. With regular assessments and responsive treatment, your needs will continually be met and your treatment plan will be tweaked as needed.
Other programs that you'll find include chemical dependency education. You learn how to manage triggers and stressful emotions that lead to relapse. There are also community support systems that include family involvement. This way, you and your loved ones will build critical skills that will help you maintain your sobriety.
