Livengrin Foundation

Originally established by advertising executive Standish Forde Hansell as one of the first non-hospital facilities in Pennsylvania to treat alcoholism, Livengrin has grown into a comprehensive substance use disorder treatment center serving the greater Philadelphia region. The organization provides preferential treatment to priority populations including pregnant women, overdose survivors, persons who inject drugs, and veterans. Livengrin also operates a specialized Workforce Professionals Program that partners with employers, HR departments, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) to help professionals balance recovery with career responsibilities. For nursing professionals, Livengrin offers opportunities in addiction and behavioral health nursing, including roles such as Registered Nurse and Certified Nurse Practitioner positions focused on treating patients with substance use and mental health disorders. Nurse practitioners at Livengrin are responsible for clinical assessments, emergency management, clinical procedures, medication management, and patient counseling. The work environment is mission-driven and centered on evidence-based treatment combined with compassionate care. Employee reviews indicate that while staff find a clear sense of purpose and personal appreciation in the work, concerns exist around compensation, management support, and work-life balance.

Livengrin Foundation's mission is 'Achieving recovery through collaboration.' The organization values compassionate, evidence-based treatment and personalized care, with a focus on helping individuals overcome substance use disorders. Priority populations include pregnant women, overdose survivors, persons who inject drugs, and veterans. The organization emphasizes collaboration between clinical staff, patients, employers, and EAPs to promote lasting recovery and workplace wellness.
