About Kensington Hospital
Kensington Hospital provides comprehensive support for individuals dealing with substance use disorders and mental health issues. Their range of services encompasses inpatient detoxification, residential rehabilitation, outpatient methadone treatment, and ongoing care tailored to complex medical situations. With more than two decades of experience in addressing addiction, the hospital creates safe pathways to recovery while offering sustained support throughout the healing journey.
The treatment strategy employed is both clinical and integrative. Patients benefit from around-the-clock medical oversight, as well as personalized and group therapy sessions. The therapies available include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, harm reduction techniques, and trauma-informed methodologies. For those who qualify, methadone is provided as a component of medication-assisted treatment. Dedicated care teams track patient progress and assist in future planning to encourage continued engagement in recovery.
Patients reside in a medical facility equipped to provide continuous care, accommodating those who require wound treatment or ongoing medical supervision. Additionally, the outreach mobile unit extends services to the surrounding community. Kensington Hospital is open to referrals and collaborates with most insurance plans, offering a well-structured, medically supervised environment conducive to initiating the healing process.
