At NET we embrace that recovery for life is possible. We are nationally recognized for being a leader in recovery transformation and fully implementing recovery management principles as reflected in a Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC). We provide individualized treatment, specialized services, and ongoing support to sustain recovery in both drug free and medication assisted modalities. All services fully engage the consumer in developing their own path to recovery. NET is unique in that we have fully integrated peer support from persons in recovery into all aspects of treatment.
When I first came to NET, I was a broken shell. Through my recovery, I gained back not only myself but rediscovered my fierce passion for art and helping others along the path to recovery. NET will always be my family and home.”
The recovery continuum in both traditional and medication assisted modalities includes Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) throughout Philadelphia; residential; prison-based treatment (opioid use disorders only) and an after care resource unique to NET called the NET Works Recovery Support Center, which is completely managed by persons in recovery (Click here for more information on NETWorks and Peer Support Services).
The Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program, NET Steps, is available at multiple sites and is specifically dedicated to helping people recover from Opioid Use Disorder with the use of intensive counseling and medication, most frequently methadone. (click here for locations)

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
Intensive Outpatient (IOP) consists of a combination of group therapy, individual therapy and other interventions provided as needed such as peer support, psychiatric intervention and medication management. This service is available for adolescents and adults. NET offers morning, afternoon and evening treatment sessions to accommodate a variety of other life needs and obligations (work, school, child care). Most consumers begin at the IOP level of care and step down to less intensive treatment at the Outpatient (OP) level as they become more stable in their recovery. Specialized IOP tracks are offered to address the unique needs of women, adolescents and those individuals who have both a diagnosed psychiatric illness and a substance use disorder. Traditional IOP/ OP services are available at four sites throughout Philadelphia.
For more information or to make a referral for traditional IOP/ OP, including the Adolescent IOP, call 215-451-7100.
NET addresses Opiod Use Disorders in the IOP, OP, and Residential levels of care by offering one of three medications (suboxone, methadone, or vivotrol) in addition to intensive treatment .

Integrated Community Wellness Center
NET Centers operates an Integrated Community Wellness Center (ICWC) at our Spring Garden location. As such, the Outpatient Mental Health services, Intensive Outpatient (Addictions Services) and Outpatient (Addictions Services) offered at this location are enhanced as part of the ICWC. The ICWC is a pilot program being implemented in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) and Community Behavioral Health (CBH).
The program is designed to integrate behavioral health with physical health care, increase consistent use of evidence-based practices, and improve access to high quality care. In addition to quality mental health and/or substance use disorder treatment NET offers at the Spring Garden site, enhanced supports include same day access as needed; access to a physical health screen; care coordination with physical health and other community providers; access to case management and peer supports as needed; and improved coordination of care with an array of community partners.

Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an option that supports recovery for individuals diagnosed with an Opiod Use Disorder. This approach is most successful when combined with intensive treatment as provided in the IOP and OP programs. NET can also integrate medication to treat Opiod Use Disorder into the Residential level of care.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to support recovery is available at multiple NET locations. The largest is NET Steps, a program specifically dedicated to treating Opioid Use Disorders. NET Steps has two locations where either methadone, suboxone or vivotrol can be integrated into an individualized treatment protocol. Other support at NET Steps includes health screenings, peer support, psychiatric services as needed, referrals to appropriate medical services, and a children’s playroom to support parents who might otherwise not seek treatment.
