Program Overview

Providing Critical Resources for the Greater Philadelphia Region

General and Intensive Outpatient Programs

Like the counseling groups, these outpatient programs will incorporate evidence-based techniques that enable you to work through the issues associated with addiction in a private one-to-one setting. For the Intensive Outpatient Program, individual counseling will be done as needed. For the General Outpatient Program, individual counseling sessions will be held weekly.

Comprehensive Drug and Alcohol Assessments

Therapists trained in substance use disorders conduct comprehensive assessments following criteria laid out by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). Based on the results of that assessment, the therapist meets with the patient (and family members, if appropriate) to discuss the appropriate level of care and an individualized treatment plan.

Call now to schedule an assessment.

Intensive Outpatient Program

This co-ed program is designed for adults who are coming from the community, detox, or residential treatment. It offers structure with flexibility so that patients can keep their work and/or school and personal schedules while in treatment. The core component of the program is group therapy. An experienced outpatient therapist leads three group therapy sessions weekly. Two sessions are held in person at our office and the third is held virtually. Those sessions include:

  • Psychoeducation about addiction, prevention, and recovery.
  • Education on family systems, healthy boundaries, effective communication, coping, and other critical skills.
  • Experiential and process-based therapeutic techniques.

The program also includes:

  • Monthly individual therapy sessions, with additional sessions as clinically indicated. The sessions can be held virtually if clinically appropriate.
  • Family support and education.

Caron Philadelphia's medical director provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management as needed.

Individual and Family Counseling

With the undivided attention that one-on-one sessions with an addiction therapist provide, patients receive support and guidance tailored to their needs. The therapist guides the patient as they work through issues related to substance use disorder and any co-occurring disorders that they may be dealing with. We use a variety of psychotherapy approaches to best understand, guide, and support our patients. The focus and depth that individual counseling offers can help patients build a stronger foundation for lasting recovery.

Family members can also meet with a therapist to identify, discuss, and address issues related to how they have been impacted by the patient’s alcohol or drug use.

Building and Maintaining Recovery Virtual Support Group

An experienced master's level licensed therapist facilitates this weekly clinically informed, skills-based group focused on practical applications for living in recovery. Held virtually, the group is open to individuals in all stages of recovery who are looking to continue to build and grow their recovery, including:

  • Caron alumni who are looking for additional support and connection.
  • Patients from Caron inpatient treatment programs.
  • Patients who have completed other treatment programs.

Family Education and Support

Parent and family support groups are for families impacted by alcohol and drug abuse and related behaviors. They provide confidential, safe places for finding resources, networking opportunities, encouragement, and hope. Support group members help each other and welcome new family members and parents. In building a supportive network, members form strong bonds and ties with each other, opening opportunities for friendships to take root.
