What NorthEast Treatment Centers, Inc. does

NorthEast Treatment Centers, Inc. (NET Centers) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit behavioral health and social services organization founded in 1970 and headquartered in Philadelphia. NET operates 15 service sites across Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, and the state of Delaware, delivering a continuum of trauma-informed care that includes outpatient and residential mental health services (IBHS, Family Based Services, the only Certified Community Behavioral Health Center in Philadelphia, and the PACE autism program), addiction recovery services (Medication Assisted Treatment, outpatient programs, the Lehigh Recovery Center residential program, and the Kirkwood Recovery Center, which is the only clinically-managed and medically-monitored inpatient detox in northern Delaware), child welfare and juvenile justice services (foster care, adoption, Community Umbrella Agency case management, detention alternatives, evening reporting centers, and the In Home Detention program), and specialized initiatives such as the $950,000 PCCD-funded Violence Intervention Program. The organization employs approximately 800 staff and serves more than 10,000 consumers annually.

The underlying technology stack is explicitly non-proprietary; operations rely on standard clinical and case management workflows delivered by licensed professionals (nurses, counselors, peer specialists, behavioral health technicians) under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance, with walk-in intake (Access Point) available 7am-11pm daily. Distribution is community- and referral-based, with consumers entering via the Access Point walk-in intake, referrals from healthcare providers, schools, courts, and child welfare systems, and through managed care relationships with Community Behavioral Health in Philadelphia.

The revenue model is government-funded managed services. NET is CARF-accredited and licensed by the U.S. DEA, HHS, Pennsylvania DHS, Pennsylvania DDAS, and Delaware DHSS, and is reimbursed primarily through Medicaid, state contracts, and targeted grants such as the PCCD Violence Intervention Program, supplemented by charitable donations via United Way (#148), the Rite Aid Kidcents program, and an Emergency Family Fund. In May 2026, NET announced an integration plan transferring its behavioral health services in Philadelphia and Delaware to JEVS Human Services by the end of calendar year 2026, while NET retains child welfare, foster care, adoption, juvenile justice, violence prevention, parenting, and Community Umbrella Agency programs under its own corporate umbrella.
