A new outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center has opened in South Philadelphia, offering recovery programs designed to address not only addiction but the everyday challenges that can make getting help difficult.
Philadelphia Recovery Solutions is located at 2300 S. Broad St., Suites 202 and 203, in the Rota Building. The center offers intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs for people with substance use disorders, along with case management and help navigating community resources.
“Too many programs leave the hard parts, such as housing, transportation and case management, up to patients to figure out alone,” the PRS team said. “We built PRS to change that.”
The center was founded by Rachel Murray, who has a decade of experience developing recovery and behavioral health programs throughout the Philadelphia region. Opening in South Philly was a personal decision for Murray, who credits the neighborhood with helping her through her own recovery.
“South Philly is home to me; when I was at my lowest point in life, the rooms of South Philly picked me up and walked with me through a process I had no clue about,” Murray said. “That gave me the opportunity to turn around and do the same for others.”
Murray said she hopes to help people better understand addiction and learn to navigate life without relying on substances.
“I want the opportunity to share my experience and what worked for me at the beginning of my journey,” she said.
PRS’s intensive outpatient program provides structured therapy and case coordination around clients’ work and family schedules. Its partial hospitalization program offers full-day treatment with medical oversight and psychiatric support, allowing clients to return home in the evenings.
The center also provides assistance with benefits, transportation and independent recovery-housing options that clients can choose themselves.
PRS accepts commercial insurance, with Medicaid acceptance expected in the future. Services are confidential under HIPAA.
Executive Director Dave Romero, who has more than 10 years of experience in outpatient program operations, credentialing and compliance, oversees day-to-day operations.
