About Spark Wellness Elkins Park
Spark Wellness helps individuals and families achieve lasting recovery with comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment including day treatment (PHP) with community partner housing, intensive outpatient (IOP), individual and group therapy, and family programming. Their evidence-based approach provides personalized care, including individual and group therapy, medication management, and support for co-occurring disorders.
Spark Wellness’s day treatment (PHP) is designed for clients needing significant support without inpatient care, and it offers 20+ hours of weekly treatment. IOP is a step down, ideal for clients needing fewer hours of care while continuing therapeutic progress. In both programs, therapists work with clients one-on-one to develop a healthier way of thinking with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches mindfulness, emotional regulation, and stress tolerance, so clients can better communicate their thoughts and feelings. They also offer art, drum, writing, and yoga therapy to bridge the gap between the conscious and the unconscious mind, creating a safe space for self-expression and introspection.
Spark Wellness’s facilities are meticulously designed to produce comfort, relaxation, and freedom from the overwhelming details of daily life. Both locations are just 25 minutes from downtown Philadelphia.
A critical component of effective treatment is the support provided after the initial therapy phase. Spark Wellness offers extensive aftercare programs designed to help clients maintain their mental health and sobriety. These programs include regular follow-up sessions, support groups, and continued access to therapists, ensuring that patients have the ongoing support they need to thrive.
