Jefferson Health in Philadelphia, affiliated with Thomas Jefferson University, offers the well-accredited MATER program for mothers dealing with substance use and mental health issues, especially opioids. The MATER program offers a range of services for mothers struggling with addiction including an outpatient program known as Family Center, a residential program called My Sister’s Place (MSP), and aftercare support. The My Sister’s Place program lasts 12 weeks and follows a mindfulness-based parenting philosophy, allowing up to 3 children to live with their mother at the residential facility. AllMATERprograms provide childcare. Jefferson’s programs offer personalized treatment with individual, group, and family therapy.They also provide methadone and buprenorphine during and after pregnancy to support transitions off opioids. MATER is part of Jefferson Health, which is part of Thomas Jefferson University. If patients receive care from other departments at Jefferson Health, such as family care or emergency care, their health records from those visits are linked to their health records for MATER, helping ensure continuity of care. Patients can access addiction treatment progress, education materials, and other info from their visits at Jefferson Health through a patient portal called MyChart, also known as MyJeffersonHealth. The portal, accessible via an app or the Jefferson Health website, shows information from both MATER and other department visits, including instructions, appointments, and bills.
