About

About Livengrin Foundation Inc

Livengrin Foundation Inc has been Philadelphia’s premier addiction recovery service since 1966, operating from a campus at 4833 Hulmeville Road in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, in Bucks County. With nearly six decades of treating drug and alcohol addiction in Pennsylvania, the foundation blends evidence-based practice with the depth of experience that comes from continuously evolving alongside the field. The result is a treatment model the organization describes as flexible — built to adapt to the realities of contemporary addiction recovery.

Livengrin offers a continuum of care that includes medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient programming, and intensive outpatient (IOP), allowing patients to enter at the level matching their clinical needs and step down through outpatient care over time. Cognitive behavioral therapy is among the evidence-based methods used. Beyond core addiction treatment, Livengrin operates dedicated tracks for individuals, family members, workforce professionals, and a First Responder Addiction Track (FRAT) for first responders. Gambling addiction is among the specialty areas the foundation treats.

Livengrin serves a broad clinical population, including veterans, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, and patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing, as well as those navigating co-occurring trauma or dual diagnosis. The foundation is Joint Commission accredited and accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay. Admissions are available 24/7 through the Bensalem admissions line and email.

Leadership is anchored by President, CEO, and Chief Clinical Officer Christopher N. Francis, MA, LPC, NCC, CCS, CCDP; Medical Director Dr. James W. Cornish, MD; General Counsel and CAO Allen Toadvine, Esq.; Vice President of Clinical Programs Denise Merritt, MS, CAADC, CCS, LPC; and Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President Angela Morley, MBA. Board Chairperson Albert Mezzaroba, Esq., guides governance. The combination of experienced clinical leadership and a 60-year operating history is one of Livengrin’s defining strengths.

Medical Detox Programs

Livengrin Foundation operates a medically supervised detox center with 24-hour medical oversight for alcohol detox, opioid detox, and drug detox. The facility maintains Joint Commission accreditation and operates as a certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), demonstrating specialized capabilities in withdrawal management protocols. Under the medical direction of Dr. James W. Cornish, M.D., patients receive continuous monitoring during the detox process.

The 119-bed facility allows patients to transition directly from medical detox to residential treatment without changing locations or medical teams. This seamless progression ensures continuity of care during the critical early stages of recovery. The center's withdrawal management protocols address both physical dependency and co-occurring mental health conditions through their dual diagnosis programming.

Residential Treatment and Inpatient Programs

Following medical detox, patients can continue treatment in Livengrin Foundation's residential program on the same 44-acre campus in Bensalem. The residential treatment component utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary therapeutic method, delivered by clinical staff under the leadership of Chief Clinical Officer Christopher N. Francis, MA, LPC. This integrated approach addresses underlying addiction patterns while patients maintain medical stability achieved during detox.

The facility treats alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and gambling addiction through structured residential programming. Specialized tracks serve populations including pregnant women, veterans, first responders, and young adults aged 18-25. The residential component bridges the gap between intensive medical detox and outpatient care, providing extended stabilization in a controlled environment.

Insurance and Payment Options

Livengrin Foundation accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay arrangements for medical detox and residential treatment services. The facility works with insurance providers to verify coverage for medically supervised detox programs and residential treatment stays. Financial counselors assist families in understanding coverage options for withdrawal management and ongoing addiction treatment.

Veterans can utilize TRICARE benefits for medical detox and residential programming. The center's financial team helps navigate insurance authorization processes for both detox and residential treatment components, ensuring patients can access necessary medical supervision during withdrawal without delayed care due to payment concerns.
