Achievement Through Counseling and Trt (ACT I)

ACT I provides two primary levels of outpatient addiction treatment: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). The outpatient program allows individuals to receive regular addiction treatment while maintaining their daily responsibilities, making it ideal for those transitioning from residential treatment or those whose recovery needs don't require 24-hour care. Sessions are scheduled throughout weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM, providing flexibility for working professionals and students.

Their intensive outpatient program offers more structured support for clients requiring additional accountability and therapeutic intervention while living at home or in sober living arrangements. The IOP serves as either a step-down from residential treatment or primary treatment for individuals ready to engage in community-based recovery with family and peer support systems intact.

ACT I specializes in treating clients with co-occurring disorders, recognizing that many individuals in recovery face simultaneous mental health challenges including trauma and PTSD. Their dual diagnosis approach addresses both substance use disorders and underlying psychological conditions through integrated treatment planning rather than treating these conditions separately.

Cognitive behavioral therapy serves as their primary therapeutic method, helping clients identify thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to both addiction and mental health symptoms. This clinical approach proves particularly effective for trauma survivors and those with PTSD, providing practical tools for managing triggers and developing healthier coping mechanisms essential for long-term recovery success.

Veterans receive specialized attention at ACT I through programming designed to address military-specific trauma and the unique challenges faced by service members transitioning to civilian life. The facility accepts TRICARE insurance, removing financial barriers that often prevent veterans from accessing quality addiction treatment. Their veteran-focused approach recognizes the complex relationship between military service, trauma exposure, and substance use disorders.

Beyond veteran services, ACT I serves young adults aged 18-25 who benefit from age-appropriate programming that addresses developmental challenges unique to early adulthood. Seniors and older adults receive care tailored to their specific needs, while court-ordered clients find a structured environment that satisfies legal requirements while promoting genuine recovery engagement.

Joint Commission accreditation demonstrates ACT I's commitment to maintaining high treatment quality standards and continuous improvement in their addiction treatment programs. This nationally recognized accreditation requires ongoing evaluation of treatment outcomes, staff qualifications, and facility safety measures, providing families and clients with confidence in the care quality they'll receive.

The facility provides auxiliary aids for deaf and hard of hearing clients, ensuring equal access to addiction treatment regardless of hearing ability. Telehealth services expand their reach throughout Philadelphia County, allowing clients to maintain consistent therapeutic relationships even when transportation or health issues prevent in-person attendance. Multiple payment options including Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay ensure that financial constraints don't prevent access to their outpatient addiction treatment services.
