Thalia Medical Center
As a specialized board-certified physician in Addiction Medicine, Dr. Aviva strives to bring you compassionate quality care for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. If you are ready to take back control over your life, we are here to help. Dr. Aviva is triple board certified in Addiction Medicine, Family Medicine, and Preventative Medicine.

She graduated with her MD from Ben Gurion University and is licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. She is a member of The American Society of Addiction Medicine and American Association of Family Practice. I was at my lowest point, feeling hopeless, deeply depressed and mourning the end of my marriage and loss of my partner.
Services
Treatment with Dr. Aviva looks beyond your addiction or substance abuse problem to create a customized treatment plan that targets your well-being. As a family doctor, she is here to treat you based on your individual needs and goals. At Thalia Medical Center, addiction is treated as a chronic disease (as defined by the American Society of Addiction Medicine), and you will receive the help that you need.
We will work with your therapist and your primary physician to help get your life back on track. Treatment for your addiction may include the use of medications, therapy, and changes to diet and lifestyle. In addition, we will work on healing the causes of your substance abuse, identifying triggers, and making healthy choices to support your recovery.
Thalia Medical Center offers a personalized and private outpatient detoxification program in the Philadelphia area. What is Alcohol and Drug Detox? Detoxification is a medical procedure for managing the withdrawal from alcohol and/or drugs in a medically safe and effective manner with as little discomfort as possible.
If you are taking prescription opioid medication for pain relief, talk to your physician about a naloxone prescription. Naloxone, also known as Narcan, can help prevent risks associated with opiate overdose. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggest that having a naloxone prescription reduces the chances of overdose and possible emergency room visits.
At Thalia Medical Center, we understand that struggles with low mood or anxiety can be as difficult to manage as substance use. We are able to help with a combination of medications and therapy. Here at TMC, we will evaluate you holistically, and where it is appropriate, we prescribe and manage antidepressants, mood stabilizers and other psychiatric medications.

Aviva Fohrer is without question the best addictive medical physician in the region. She is now getting me off a benzodiazepine. A drug very hard to get off. She is compassionate, empathetic, and extremely effective. If you need help see her.

If you want a therapist to take advantage of your insurance and bill them to the max, not inform you on any of your prescriptions & or medications she puts you on, then go to her. Shes the best! She will use anything private against you to benefit her own financial gain.Also avoid here genetics test, she wont explain it to you and it will just charge your insurance $3500k+

If you are looking to make a life change, this is the place to be! Without a doubt, Dr. Aviva Fohrer makes the treatment a positive experience. As anyone might imagine I was scared and ashamed to admit that I needed to make a change in my life. I recommend Thalia Medical 100 percent. I am on my way to a better healthier life. Thank you Aviva for guiding me to the right path.

I have known Dr. Aviva for about a month now and have to say my experience is extremely positive. She is genuine, understanding and very sympathetic towards my ongoing struggles with addiction. I look forward to our biweekly sessions, and couldn’t ask for a better addiction psychiatrist.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Fohrer at the Thalia Medical center for years. She’s the best doctor I’ve ever had. I always feel comfortable being open and honest with her. Her approaches to treating addiction and applying harm reduction principals are refreshing. She makes it really easy to keep coming back, and that’s been my biggest hurdle with other doctors. Highly recommended.

All Dr. Froher cares about is the MONEY, I REPEAT MONEY. She takes from people who are trying to be serious about their recovery. She was always late for her appointments and she was just plain out rude. At my 4th appointment with her I was about 5 minutes late. I called and she said take your time. I pull into her parking lot and she calls me and tells me her next customer is there and that she cant see me and she will be charging my card in the amount of $220.00 because I didn't show (I was walking into her lobby) I have never met a Doctor like this before.

She says her appointments are

Dr. Fohrer is an amazing, compassionate physician to whom I am truly grateful. She has helped me so much in the past year and I would highly recommend her. From the start, Dr. Fohrer has treated me like a human being not just a patient. Because of her support and faith in me, as well as her knowledge and experience in addiction and addiction medicine , we have built a relationship that has led to my success in recovery.

As a healthcare professional, I will turn to Dr. Fohrer for advice regarding patient addiction issues. On occasion, I have directed afflicted patients to her for her exceptional care. I feel fortunate to have her as an expert resource to turn to. Dr. Fohrer is extremely bright, experienced, insightful and caring. I recommend her highly.
