Friends Hospital is a hospital-based treatment facility located at 4641 Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia, PA, serving individuals struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. The facility specializes in treating people with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders, as well as seniors and older adults who require comprehensive, structured care. As an inpatient hospital setting, Friends Hospital provides a safe, medically supervised environment for those who need intensive support during their recovery journey.
Friends Hospital offers inpatient hospitalization and mental health treatment services designed to address the complex needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders. Inpatient care means patients remain at the facility 24/7, receiving round-the-clock medical supervision, medication management, and structured therapy from a multidisciplinary team. The hospital's programs are particularly effective for people whose mental health conditions and substance use are interconnected—recognizing that treating only one disorder is often insufficient for lasting recovery. Additionally, Friends Hospital provides specialized programming for seniors and older adults, acknowledging the unique medical, psychological, and social factors affecting this population. All services are offered with Spanish-language support to ensure accessibility for Philadelphia's diverse communities.
Friends Hospital accepts a comprehensive range of payment options, including self-payment, Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, and military insurance (VA/Tricare). This diverse payment structure helps ensure that cost is never a barrier to receiving necessary care. Under federal law, including the Mental Health Parity Act, most insurance plans cover mental health and substance use treatment at the same level as other medical services, meaning your coverage should extend to the inpatient and therapeutic services available at Friends Hospital.
