About Northeast Treatment Centers Frankford
Northeast Treatment Centers brings outpatient addiction treatment to Philadelphia and the surrounding region, serving men and women navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. CARF-accredited and operating around the clock, NET Centers connects people across Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, and Delaware with structured outpatient care grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Founded in 1970, Northeast Treatment Centers — widely known as NET Centers — is a Philadelphia-based substance use treatment organization with a location at 5828 Market Street in the city's West Philadelphia neighborhood. Serving individuals across Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, and Delaware, NET Centers has built a long-standing presence in the region's recovery community as a go-to resource for men and women seeking structured, accessible addiction treatment close to home.
NET Centers offers an outpatient program as its core level of care, making it a strong fit for people who need consistent, ongoing support while maintaining their daily lives — whether that means work, family responsibilities, or existing community ties. Outpatient treatment at this level is designed for individuals who are ready to engage in recovery without stepping away from their environments entirely, and it can serve as a primary treatment setting or as a step-down option following more intensive care.
The clinical approach at NET Centers incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured, skills-based method that helps people identify the thinking patterns that fuel substance use and build practical tools for lasting change. The program also addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that mental health conditions frequently intersect with addiction and that treating both simultaneously is central to sustainable recovery. This dual-diagnosis focus positions NET Centers as a resource for people whose recovery needs extend beyond substance use alone.
NET Centers serves men and women and accepts a broad range of payment options — including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-pay — making care accessible to people at different financial starting points. The facility is CARF-accredited, a recognized quality standard in behavioral health care, and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For anyone in Greater Philadelphia or the surrounding region evaluating outpatient programs with a dual-diagnosis lens, NET Centers represents a well-established, community-rooted option.
Outpatient Recovery for Greater Philadelphia and Beyond
Northeast Treatment Centers has served Philadelphia's recovery community since 1970, offering outpatient addiction treatment at its 5828 Market Street location in West Philadelphia. The program extends its reach across three regions — Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, and Delaware — giving people a structured recovery option without uprooting their lives or leaving their communities.
For many people in long-term recovery, staying connected to family, employment, and community supports is not a compromise — it is part of the plan. NET Centers' outpatient program is built for exactly that stage of the recovery journey, providing regular clinical contact and accountability while participants remain rooted in the world they are working to rebuild.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment and a CBT-Grounded Approach
A meaningful share of people who seek addiction treatment are also navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions. NET Centers specifically addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis within its outpatient program, treating the full picture rather than substance use in isolation. This focus matters for anyone whose recovery has been complicated by underlying mental health challenges that standard substance abuse treatment alone did not fully address.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms the clinical backbone of care at NET Centers. CBT is a practical, structured method that helps people recognize how specific thought patterns drive behaviors — including substance use — and develop concrete skills to interrupt those cycles. For people investing in long-term recovery, CBT-based programming offers tools that extend well beyond the treatment setting itself.
Access, Accreditation, and Who NET Centers Serves
Northeast Treatment Centers is accredited by CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, which evaluates behavioral health programs against rigorous quality and performance standards. For individuals and families comparing outpatient programs in the Philadelphia area, CARF accreditation is one concrete marker that a program meets externally validated benchmarks.
The center serves both men and women and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-pay, keeping the financial barrier to entry low for a wide range of people. Operating 24 hours a day across all seven days means that access to support — or to begin the intake process — is not limited to traditional business hours. For anyone in Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, or Delaware evaluating an outpatient recovery center with dual diagnosis capabilities, NET Centers is worth a direct conversation at (215) 747-6480.
Is an Outpatient Program the Right Fit for Your Recovery?
Outpatient care is not a lesser form of treatment — for many people, it is the most sustainable one. It allows individuals to apply the skills they are learning in real time, within their actual lives and relationships, rather than in a protected residential setting. This can be especially valuable for people who have already completed a higher level of care and are transitioning into ongoing recovery, as well as for those whose circumstances make residential treatment impractical.
At NET Centers, the outpatient program's dual diagnosis component means that people dealing with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition do not have to choose between addressing one or the other. That integrated framing reflects a broader understanding of what lasting recovery actually requires — and it is a key reason why many people across the Philadelphia region and beyond turn to NET Centers as a long-term recovery partner.
