Drug Rehab Near Delaware County, PA

Who We Serve in Delaware County

Delaware County ('Delco') is suburban Philadelphia — working and middle class, car-dependent, with strong family and community ties. Prescription opioid dependence that originated from legitimate prescriptions is common, as is alcohol use disorder. The fentanyl supply reaching Delaware County through Philadelphia creates overdose risk for anyone using opioids or cocaine in Delco. Many Delco residents have Independence Blue Cross, Aetna, or Cigna coverage through Philadelphia-area employers.

Delaware County's Drug Landscape

Delco has access to the same fentanyl supply (and its adulterants) that affects Philadelphia proper. The county has been an active participant in Pennsylvania's opioid settlement response and has invested in treatment access infrastructure.
