While alcohol is a legal substance that is socially acceptable, for those individuals suffering from alcohol misuse, alcohol use disorder, or alcoholism, the withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and going through alcohol detox can be much worse than any illicit or illegal substance.
Addiction is a chronic, progressive illness that can be fatal if left untreated. Most individuals that suffer from addiction and substance use disorder know they are in need of help and that their lives are out of control and fairly unmanageable way before they ever begin searching for help.
The quality of any organization starts with its leadership. Organizational leadership drives the vision of an organization and supports employees and staff in delivering on that vision. That is possibly even more vital when looking at an addiction treatment center or rehab facility.
The key element of any quality detox is the quality of its medical staff, specifically the nursing staff. Detox is a difficult time for any patient.
Innovo Detox, located in Adams County, Pennsylvania, is pleased to announce that Mallorie Schwartzman has been promoted to the new position of Director of Business Development.
On Thursday, March 5th we held our Open House for Innovo Detox in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania in preparation for opening our doors to accept patients on Monday, March 16th. It was a lovely day. The facility was spotless.
Colleen Ramsey, LSW, CAADC, works alongside Clinical Supervisor Brianna Earomirski, LCSW, as the clinical team here at Innovo Detox.
We know that addiction and substance use disorder is complex, chronic illness and that long-term recovery is best supported by a continuum of care that includes comprehensive clinical services, monitoring, and ongoing recovery and community support.
While detox is often considered an experience that is only medically focused, at Innovo Detox we believe that detox is only the first step in a vital continuum of care that will support patients in finding sustainable, lasting recovery.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues throughout the United States, and the country deals with the civil unrest and racial inequality issues boiling over after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, we must deal with these issues head-on without forgetting about another public health epidemic that continues to plague America: The opioid crisis.
For many patients, the greatest bonds they form when they enter treatment is with the recovery support staff. The direct support staff are able to quickly develop trust and a relationship with patients, which offers support as they get through their first days of what can sometimes be a difficult detox.
At Innovo Detox we feel it’s important for potential patients, their families, and professional colleagues to meet our staff and know who we are, so they can have a level of trust before starting the often scary process of detox and medical stabilization before continuing on in their process of recovery.
