How Much Does Treatment at Northern Childrens Services – Philadelphia Cost?

Cash payment for rehab in Pennsylvania is usually $1,200 to $5,000 a month for standard outpatient care. No price list for Northern Childrens Services was found when this page was written, so treat the Pennsylvania figures as an estimate.

Expect the intake assessment, group therapy and individual counseling to be part of what you pay for. That is a reasonable guess based on how programs are normally priced, as Northern Childrens Services’ own details were not found. A call to the facility will tell you what is included and what costs more.

I just wanted to give an appreciation post, Northern Children Services helped me and my daughters tremendously over the past 2 years everything I needed for my daughters they helped me get, I felt safe and a relief from… escaping my situation I once was in, during times of my postpartum depression and everything I’ve been through it was always someone there to give me kind words, a listening ear. Me and my children needs always was met, they helped me receive everything back that I have lost I even started going to college while living in Northern. The neighborhood was great for me and my daughters nice people around the area, calm quiet place. I recommended a few of my friends who are in the same situation I was once in. My experience was great and I can’t be more thankful for them helping me and my daughters.

This place is horrible. The staff there are very rude and have favoritism towards the girls there. There's no ac on the 3rd floor, the food they're giving the girls there are expired but when you can the hotline and… report it, Mr. Aaron Prince threaten to have you kicked out of the program.
