“COEs treat individuals with OUD, but it includes much more than the substance use treatment or clinical intervention,” says Derek Hammacher, MA, LPC, Director of Behavioral Heath for CHDC “Our COE team does not engage in clinical substance use interventions, but rather provide case management for individuals diagnosed with OUD. 

If you or a loved one need opioid use disorder treatment, please call the CHDC Center of Excellence at 610-326-9460 ext. 105 and a member of their staff will assist you.
