Inpatient Adult Psychiatry
Penn Presbyterian has a 22-bed inpatient adult
short-term psychiatric unit, which accepts all
levels of diagnosis. We specialize in the treatment
of patients with a co-occurring addiction problem
secondary to the primary psychiatric problem. The
unit is staffed by a physician, registered nurses,
mental health technicians, addiction counselors
and social workers.
Admissions are accepted 24 hours per day. For
psychiatric evaluations call the Psychiatric
Emergency Evaluation Center at 215-662-2121.
Sub Acute Adult Psychiatry
Penn Presbyterian
also offers a residential step-down unit for
individuals who do not require a locked unit
for safety. This program accepts individuals
from the acute service unit or referrals from
outside agencies. The sub acute program also
specializes in the treatment of individuals that
have a co-occurring secondary addiction disorder.
The unit is staffed by a physician, registered
nurses, mental health technicians, social workers
and addiction counselors.
For direct referral to the sub acute program,
please call 215-662-8880.
