The Keystone State reported a significant number of drug overdose deaths, with 1,413 fatalities in Philadelphia alone in 2022, marking an 11% increase from the previous year.7 This rate in Philadelphia is notably higher than the national average, reflecting a concerning trend in the state’s battle against opioid-related issues.8

In the state of Pennsylvania, the majority of services related to mental health and substance misuse are managed and offered through local county offices, known as Single County Authorities (SCAs).4 These offices frequently collaborate with and contract services to local providers in their regions.

Under the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Act of 1966, it is required that county offices in Pennsylvania offer services to children, young adults, and adults struggling with substance and mental health disorders in Pennsylvania.5 According to the Pennsylvania Department of Human Health Services, these addiction treatment services include partial hospitalization, emergency services, residential services, inpatient treatment, outpatient services, specialized rehab programs, and vocational rehabilitation.4

Pennsylvania also has a Human Services Provider Directory to help individuals find mental health or drug abuse services in the state.4 The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs maintains an updated list of local providers, offering resources to assist residents in understanding and utilizing their public or private insurance plans for these services.4  The department also sponsors drug take-back programs, allowing individuals to safely dispose of unwanted prescription medications, thereby helping to prevent their misuse or abuse.4
