<p><strong>ABOUT PHILADELPHIA ADDICTION CENTER</strong></p> <p>Located in the Red Lion Shopping Plaza in Philadelphia, Pa., Philadelphia Addiction Center provides <strong>holistic treatment</strong> for individuals struggling with addiction. Treatment is offered on an outpatient basis and primarily consists of hypnosis and acupuncture. However, the facility offers other services, including Reiki and homeopathy, for additional health concerns like endocrine disorders, skin conditions, and mental illness. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, all clients first undergo <strong>a comprehensive evaluation with a practitioner of Chinese medicine.</strong> Based on assessment findings, staff typically recommend an aggressive course of hypnosis and acupuncture that gradually tapers as clients progress through treatment. The treatment team may also recommend the use of <strong>Esperal, a homeopathic medication</strong> that is implanted in the body and causes negative side effects when the individual ingests alcohol. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, all treatment is administered by a practitioner of Chinese medicine and a licensed acupuncturist. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The handful of alumni reviews submitted to Rehabs.com are <strong>overwhelmingly positive;</strong> each of the three clients who rated the center’s treatment effectiveness submitted five out of five stars. Most reviewers praised the “knowledgeable” staff, and <strong>multiple alumni commented on the efficacy of Esperal.</strong> “The Esperal works better than anything else. I\'ve been drinking for years, underwent AA, 12 steps, disulfiram pills. Nothing worked. I\'m back to my life now and I\'m happy,” one alum wrote in a representative review. </p> <p>On Google, the facility received a <strong>perfect rating of five out of five stars, based on feedback from 15 users.</strong><small class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Like Rehabs.com reviewers, multiple Google users shared strong praise for the center’s use of Esperal. “The doc implanted this device in my shoulder and bingo… I haven’t had a single sip of alcohol for almost 2 years,” Larry wrote in his five-star review. Other reviewers described the program’s combination of acupuncture, hypnosis, and homeopathy as “a miracle.” “Unbelievable. One session and I’m free from alcohol addiction,” Michael wrote in a representative review. </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>To date, Rehabs.com has received just one review from the loved one of a client. The anonymous reviewer gave the center’s treatment effectiveness five stars and used the word “magic” to describe her husband’s treatment. “That day everything changed,” she wrote, regarding her husband’s initial consultation. </p> <p>The few Google reviews submitted by loved ones also include stunning <strong>stories of success.</strong> “After that first free visit John stopped drinking. He later completed full treatment but since that time I haven't seen even a can of beer in his hand,” Sherrie wrote in her five-star Google review. Similarly, Grace shared her brother’s experience of quitting drinking after one two-hour appointment. “I don’t know what they talk about and what (the staff member) did, but never since that time Nick had a single sip of alcohol. Miracle!!!” she wrote. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Treatments range from $90 to $350 per session. With the exception of acupuncture, most treatments are not covered by insurance. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <a href="https://goo.gl/hCeNlu">https://goo.gl/hCeNlu</a></p>
