About Kensington Hospital Addiction Services

Kensington Hospital offers full-spectrum care for individuals facing substance use and mental health challenges. Levels of care include inpatient detox, residential rehab, methadone outpatient treatment, and continuing care for complex medical needs. With over 20 years on the frontlines of the addiction crisis, the hospital provides safe entry points into recovery and long-term support for every stage of healing.
Their treatment approach is both medical and holistic. Clients receive 24/7 medical supervision, individual and group therapy, and care planning. Therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and trauma-informed practices. Methadone is available for eligible clients as part of medication-assisted treatment. Care teams monitor progress and provide next-step planning to help clients stay engaged in recovery.
Clients live in a hospital setting with access to round-the-clock care. The facility supports those needing wound care or medical monitoring, and the mobile unit brings outreach to the community. Kensington Hospital welcomes referrals and works with most insurances, offering a structured and medically supported space to begin healing.
