About

About Eagleville Hospital

Eagleville Hospital is a specialty behavioral health hospital in Norristown, Pennsylvania, occupying a multi-acre campus at 100 Eagleville Road in Montgomery County. Founded in 1909 as the Philadelphia Jewish Sanatorium for Consumptives, the hospital has spent more than a century treating illnesses that other organizations were unwilling or unprepared to take on. Today it operates as a 305-bed independent non-profit specialty hospital focused on substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders, with an explicit mission to serve traditionally underserved patients.

Clinically, Eagleville offers a rare combination in addiction care: inpatient hospital-level substance use treatment alongside residential rehabilitation and outpatient services, plus the medical capacity to handle the wounds, infections, and complications that often accompany severe substance use. Services described on the program’s site include detoxification, medication-assisted treatment, individual and group counseling, residential care for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, and Level 4 hospital services, including comprehensive wound care with IV antibiotics. That last capability is essential for patients whose addiction has produced serious medical complications and who would otherwise bounce between emergency rooms and standalone rehabs.

The clinical approach is evidence-based and individualized. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used in conjunction with trauma-informed care and 12-step programming, and a Certified Recovery Specialist anchors peer support groups. Programs and amenities include a gym, sports, arts and crafts, music, healing gardens, and structured recreational activities to support engagement during longer hospital stays.

Admissions are accepted 24/7, and Eagleville is in network with most major commercial insurers and accepts Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and Medicare, with financial assistance and transportation available. Eagleville also supports recovery beyond discharge through job training and placement and warm handoffs to outpatient, medical, or psychiatric providers. For patients in southeastern Pennsylvania confronting severe addiction with medical and psychiatric complexity, Eagleville is one of the region’s few specialty hospitals designed exactly for that combination of needs.
