Malvern Treatment Centers Claimed

About Malvern Treatment Centers

Malvern Treatment Centers is the oldest private addiction treatment center in the region. They’ve been providing care for over 75 years in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Clients can come for medical detox, residential or outpatient levels of care. They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT). They accept many health plans like Beacon, Aetna, Multiplan, Alicare, United and Oxford.

Their detox program gives clients around the clock supervision and monitoring by nurses, clinical assistants and trained technicians. I like that clients also get 82 hours of psychiatric care each week. Going through detox can be scary, and so medications to ease discomfort can be given to patients during their withdrawal process. Medication assisted detox tends to last about eight days. Your dose will be tapered as you stabilize.

Each detox client is assigned a primary counselor, and you’ll begin meeting with them right away. If you choose, you can attend any of the group sessions that are offered to folks in the residential program.

Malvern offers MAT as an inpatient or outpatient program. They are licensed to prescribe many different medications so that clients can choose the one that suits their needs and preferences best.

Vivitrol is a monthly injectable opioid blocker. Just one dose gives you 30 days of reduced cravings for alcohol or opiates as well as blocking the effects of opiates. Suboxone can be used as a detox medication or as a maintenance program. This is a daily dose that is taken under the tongue or inside the cheek. How long you’ll be on MAT depends on your history, your needs and your goals. You’ll spend time discussing the tapering off process with your provider.
