Kensington Hospital is an inpatient treatment center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving people who need a structured, live-in setting to address substance use and related health needs. Among nearby facilities, it is one of a smaller number that treat methamphetamine use and one of fewer that hold SAMHSA-listed status.

The hospital works with military families and offers services in Spanish, placing it among a limited group of local providers with that language access. It addresses chronic pain alongside substance use care, draws on a 12-step approach, and provides transportation for patients. These features combine to describe an inpatient program built around accessibility for a range of backgrounds and needs.
