About the Charles O'Brien Center
for Addiction Treatment
The Charles O’Brien Center at the University
of Pennsylvania Health System offers state-of-the-art
addiction treatment provided by nationally renowned
experts in the field. Our goal is to provide the
highest possible quality of addiction treatment
while helping you to regain control of your life.
We believe that treatment begins with a comprehensive
evaluation in a supportive environment that includes
an assessment of medical and psychiatric complications,
difficulties in various realms of functioning,
and readiness for change.
Our compassionate team believes in treating a
person, not merely an addiction, and we strive
to understand unique life circumstances, personal
preferences, and character strengths to tailor
an individualized treatment plan.
Since addiction is a biological disorder, we
often prescribe medications to reduce cravings,
block the rewarding effects of drugs and alcohol,
and normalize brain function. Our approach fully
integrates the psychological and biological interventions
that are most likely to lead to sustained recovery.
Treatment is available for all addictive substances.
