About

About Malvern Treatment Center

Malvern Treatment Centers is the Delaware Valley’s oldest private addiction treatment organization, founded in 1949 and now operating three inpatient detox and rehab campuses across the Philadelphia region from its flagship location on West King Road in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Decades of clinical experience inform what the organization calls the Malvern Model: a continuum-of-care approach that treats addiction comprehensively, beginning with medical stabilization and continuing through residential rehab, medication-assisted treatment, and structured aftercare.

Clinical services are evidence-based and individualized. Detoxification is offered for chemical dependence on alcohol and a wide range of drugs, with inpatient treatment building on the foundation of detox to address the psychological and behavioral drivers of addiction. Medication-Assisted Treatment is available for patients whose recovery benefits from FDA-approved medications, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a core clinical method. Specialty tracks include the Malvern Behavioral Health Young Adult Program and a Women’s Empowerment (WE) Program, reflecting awareness that recovery looks different across populations.

Clinical operations are led by Chief Medical Officer Joseph Garbely, DO, with physician Peter Swanljung, M.D., DABAM among the medical team. The broader leadership group includes George Collins, Psy.D, MBA, Sarah Jacoby, MA, Geoff Botak, Christian Owen, Kevin Williams, Nicole Vandermay, Brendan Aurand, and Jerry Kosmin, providing a multidisciplinary mix of medical, clinical, and operational expertise.

Malvern is CARF-accredited and works with Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay. Family services and the Recovery Oriented Community (ROC) extend care beyond the patient to the people who support them. Each client builds an aftercare plan before discharge, and the alumni program keeps graduates connected to the recovery community well after their inpatient stay. For families across the Philadelphia region looking for an established, evidence-based provider with deep clinical leadership, Malvern Treatment Centers offers a complete continuum of care under one organization.
