ABOUT PENN FOUNDATION, INC.
Penn Foundation is a not-for-profit organization located in rural Pennsylvania, 40 miles north of Philadelphia. We provide mental health, substance abuse, and intellectual disability treatment and support for children, adolescents, and adults. Our substance abuse treatment services include detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, as well as intervention services. We are particularly known for our dual diagnosis programming, and priority treatment is given to pregnant women.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At Penn Foundation, we believe that family plays a crucial role in treatment. We highly recommend that our substance abuse clients participate in 12-step meetings.
During detox, our clients stay on a dedicated detox unit where they receive medical care and treatment for any co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder.
Our inpatient/residential care is designed for individuals aged 18 and older. It includes individual, group, and family counseling, along with family education and recreational activities such as yoga, volleyball, and aerobics.
In our outpatient care program, we use the same treatment modalities as the residential program. Our goal is to foster lifestyle changes in our clients, and we offer treatment at various intensities including a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and general outpatient counseling. Our PHP requires attendance for 30 hours a week on weekdays, and our IOP meets for up to nine hours a week in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
We also offer family consultations to help families who have identified a loved one struggling with addiction and are unsure of what to do. Additionally, we hold a free family education program every Sunday.
Children between the ages of nine and 12 who live with addiction in the household are eligible to enroll in our free overnight weekend camp called Camp Mariposa. This camp provides a safe space for children to share their experiences and learn problem-solving and self-care strategies.
