Embark Behavioral Health

HistoryOne of Philadelphia AA's earliest supporters was Dr. Saul, who believed a 12-step program could benefit recovering alcoholics. In 1946, Saul and Dr. C. Nelson Davis opened the C. Dudley Saul Clinic at St. Luke's Hospital in Philadelphia. This was the first private alcoholic treatment center in the United States. In 1948, Saul and Davis moved the Saul Clinic from Philadelphia to Malvern and renamed it the Malvern Institute.SpecialtiesThe Malvern Institute has helped families struggling with addiction since 1948. We achieve treatment success through an unrivaled dedication to clinical care and innovative treatment solutions. We believe that holistic recovery is best served through a complete understanding of addiction through a continuum of care model. Malvern treats all patients with compassion and respect, inspiring hope and joy in recovery. Our Berwyn campus provides outpatient services for individuals struggling with addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. Services include Partial Hospitalization (PHP), General Outpatient (GOP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). The program focuses on treating co-occurring disorders by providing psychiatric services, medicated assisted treatment, as well as evidence-based therapy using the stages of change model and facilitated through cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and many other proven techniques.
