About Jefferson Health Philadelphia Pennsylvania

Jefferson Health in Philadelphia offers the MATER program, a comprehensive treatment initiative for mothers struggling with substance use disorders and mental health challenges, with particular expertise in opioid addiction. This well-accredited program, affiliated with Thomas Jefferson University, provides multiple levels of care tailored to mothers in recovery. Their services include an outpatient program called Family Center, a 12-week residential treatment at My Sister's Place where mothers can live with up to three children, and ongoing aftercare support. All MATER programs incorporate childcare services, allowing mothers to focus on their recovery while maintaining their parental responsibilities. The treatment approach emphasizes mindfulness-based parenting and offers a combination of individual, group, and family therapy sessions. For those with opioid dependencies, Jefferson provides medication-assisted treatment options including methadone and buprenorphine during and after pregnancy. As part of the larger Jefferson Health system, MATER patients benefit from integrated health records that connect their addiction treatment with any care received from other Jefferson departments, ensuring coordinated, comprehensive healthcare. Patients can conveniently access their treatment information, educational materials, appointment details, and billing information through MyJeffersonHealth, the system's patient portal.
