Inpatient treatment is available for adults only, but there are outpatient programs for children and adolescents.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Upon admission into the behavioral health unit, clients may undergo an initial <strong>psychiatric evaluation or neuropsychological testing.</strong> These evaluations help clinicians diagnose specific psychiatric disorders and form an individualized treatment approach. </p> <p>The department uses a range of <strong>evidence-based treatment approaches,</strong> carried out in individual and group psychotherapy sessions and medical consultations. Medication management is an integral part of the program, and the team includes <strong>specialists in psychopharmacology and pain management.</strong> </p> <p><strong>Dedicated treatment tracks</strong> include a program for co-occurring disorders and programs to treat anxiety, depression, phobias, and psychological issues related to medical problems. An alum surveyed by Rehabs.com indicated that the center <strong>uses the 12-step program</strong> and holds on-site AA and NA meetings. Medical interpreters and other translation services are available. In Pennsylvania, the facility is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/PA17.pdf" target="_blank">22.3 percent of facilities</a> to offer specialized programming for adolescents.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The team includes board-certified psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, registered nurses, behavioral health therapists, and social workers. All three individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date on the staff's level of training and experience gave it four or five stars.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Episcopal Campus offers <strong>74 short-term beds and 44 extended-care beds</strong> for clients with severe or persistent psychiatric conditions. There are also <strong>23-hour observation beds</strong> for clients who don't require inpatient admission. The facility is tobacco-free, though smoking cessation services are available on-site. All three individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center four- and five-star ratings for its cleanliness and its exercise and leisure offerings.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Both of the alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date would recommend the Episcopal Campus. Both reviewers gave the center five stars for its family participation; every other treatment metric — including the hospital's counseling options and ability to treat co-occurring disorders — received a four-star rating and a five-star rating. In their comments, one reviewer praised the center's 12-step programming and the other wrote: "Good therapist... they are always updating the facility."</p> <p>Secondary sites don't currently yield any reviews of the behavioral health department in particular, but they do offer <strong>mixed feedback about the campus as a whole,</strong> which has average ratings of 2.6 out of stars based on 91 reviews on Google and 2.3 stars based on 10 reviews on Yelp.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> The negative reviews mostly cited <strong>poor treatment from staff</strong>: "The staff are rude! I've been to some bad hospitals, but this one is at the top of the list. If I could give zero stars I would," Caitlyn wrote in a typical comment on Google. A few clients also noted dirty conditions.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date gave positive feedback, offering perfect five-star ratings for the facility’s counseling options, effectiveness in treating co-occurring disorders, and discharge planning.

All three of the individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center four or five stars for its affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Temple+University+Hospital+Episcopal+Campus+philadelphia+pa&oq=Temple+University+Hospital+Episcopal+Campus+philadelphia+pa&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.4224j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89c6c821e36c2aa1:0x578397bc7de0120e,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/temple-university-hospital-episcopal-campus-philadelphia?osq=Temple+University+Hospital+Episcopal+Campus" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/temple-university-hospital-episcopal-campus-philadelphia?osq=Temple+University+Hospital+Episcopal+Campus</a></small></p>
