About Wave Treatment Centers
Wave Treatment Centers was founded by Jonathan A. Beatty, M.D., a nationally recognized leader in psychiatry and addiction medicine. Our clinicians trained at LSU, Drexel, Johns Hopkins and similar institutions. Most teach — or have taught — in academic settings.
Wave is a founder-owned practice with no ties to private equity or large corporations. Our psychiatrists, nurse practitioners & therapists are dedicated to delivering thoughtful, high-quality care tailored to each patient.
Our process
A whole-person assessment.
Every treatment plan starts with a three-pillar assessment. We don't reach for a prescription pad until we understand the whole picture.
01
Biological
What's happening in the body.
Family history, co-occurring medical conditions, autoimmune & metabolic factors, and how substance use is affecting — or being affected by — physical health.
- Family history of addiction or bipolar
- Co-occurring conditions like diabetes & autoimmune
- Medical interactions with substance use
02
Psychological
What the substance is doing for you.
The underlying need a substance is meeting, and whether a dual-diagnosis mental health condition is in play — anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD.
- Underlying mental health conditions
- What makes the substance appealing
- Dual-diagnosis assessment
03
Social
The environment around recovery.
Living situation, relationships, work stressors and life events — the conditions that have to be stable for any treatment plan, especially detox, to take hold.
- Living situation & support system
- Relationship & marital status
- Work, life events & stressors

Patient voices
Stories from people who've found their way.
“I contribute my 4 years of recovery largely to Dr. Beatty. I didn’t think recovery was even possible for someone like me. With the guidance and support of Dr. Beatty, I have been able to pull my life together completely. My plan for treatment was unlike any I had before, and that was exactly what I needed in order to succeed. Thank you very for everything Dr. Beatty, I could not have done this without you.”

“I have been a patient with Dr Beatty for nearly five years now and have had nothing but wonderful experiences with him and his staff. Dr. Beatty and his physicians assistant Lauren go a long way in making me feel comfortable talking about whatever issues I may be having and coming to them for anything I need. When it comes to mental health having a treatment team you can rely on is the biggest key in long term success and Dr. Beatty’s team is the best you’ll find not just in Philadelphia but anywhere else.”

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Beatty for about a year and a half now for my medication and have never been more pleased with a doctors office. They make getting an appointment easy and even go above and beyond to work out any problem you may encounter with the pharmacy/insurance. Dr. Beatty is a good guy who cares and tries his best to help you with whatever it may be.”
