About Self Help Movement

Self Help Movement is an accredited alcohol and drug rehab facility based in northeastern Philadelphia. Support is offered to adult men aged 18+ of all ethnicities and backgrounds. The three main levels of care provided here are high intensity and low-intensity residential inpatient, and a sober living house.

Something that stands out about Self Help Movement is the sheer range of treatment offered under its three main services. While a lot of it is fairly standard: individual and group therapy, case management, on-site medical and psychiatric assessments, and life skills education, there’s also much more. The program really takes into account its clients’ full scope of needs, offering rounded and holistic care in the form of physical fitness activities, art and music sessions, and meditation.

Spirituality and wellness services and counseling are offered for both non-denominational and specific faiths to ensure relevant care for people of all beliefs and backgrounds. 12-step and other support groups feature to provide a further sense of community, while rooming can be individual, with up to two people sharing at once to allow just enough privacy and space for self-reflection.

Their sober living housing also seems ideal for anyone who needs that extra little bit of support post-recovery. Those who stay in this accommodation must be employed, or seeking employment since the goal of this housing is to be a stopover, not the destination. Self-sufficiency and independence in medical, psychiatric, and legal matters are expected, while the set-up offers structure, rules, and curfews that may be helpful to those easing back into a sober lifestyle. Where relevant, case management is accessible for those who need a bit of extra help securing independent housing, work, and more.

In general, former clients are largely positive, expressing gratitude for life-changing experiences that resulted in life-long friendships, a sense of brotherhood, and knowledgeable staff. Many come away feeling well-equipped and prepared to rejoin society and ready to rebuild their lives.

Amenities

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Basketball Court

When used as part of an evidence-based treatment plan, basketball can boost physical and mental health, lead to sharper thinking, and facilitate improved self-esteem. Drug rehabs with a basketball court also place a focus on teamwork and cooperation.

Day School

Addiction treatment programs provide an opportunity to get your life back on track with access to school classes or college courses. Whether you want to finish your GED or go back to school to learn a new trade, facilities often enlist tutors and teachers who are certified or licensed by the state to oversee self-study or distance-learning education.

Meditation Room

Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.

Music Room

Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holistic treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Private Transportation

Transportation services are designed to ensure your addiction treatment begins and ends successfully by offering free transportation to the rehab facility, to and from your appointments during rehab, and back home upon program completion.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
