Addiction is a complex, chronic illness and we know that a long-term continuum of care that includes comprehensive clinical addiction treatment services, monitoring, and engagement in on-going community recovery support is vital to achieving long-term, sustainable recovery.
Part of any medical detox protocol to help someone stop misusing drugs and alcohol are medications. Whether is it over-the-counter medications to aid in regular discomfort, or specific and targeted medications to help with withdrawal, medications can play a key role in helping a patient get through any physical and mental discomfort and act as a necessary bridge through the difficult first days and weeks of early recovery.
Here at Innovo Detox in Pennsylvania, we understand that making the decision to stop active addiction and seek out recovery is daunting. The fear of withdrawals, the fear of detox, the fear of change, and the fear of living life without drugs and alcohol can be scary, and that fear can keep someone in active addiction for many years.
Here at Innovo Detox, we understand the ongoing uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the coronavirus public health pandemic. However, we also know that people seeking detox in Pennsylvania and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic area cannot put on hold seeking services. Addiction is too deadly an epidemic to “wait till COVID ends.”

It is important to understand that as a chronic illness, addiction requires a long-term continuum of care and ongoing recovery support to achieve optimal results. Long-term sustainable recovery often comes from long-term clinical care, recovery support and engagement, and ongoing monitoring.
Stopping drug use and substance abuse, or going through withdrawal due to substance use disorder, is one of the most difficult things anyone can do. Addiction can wreak havoc on an individual physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
It is important to understand that in some cases, stopping the use or misuse of drugs and alcohol requires medical attention and in other cases, it does not.
Many people suffer from substance use disorder and addiction and many of those people, in order to find recovery from addiction, will need treatment and ongoing recovery support.
Innovo Detox is happy to announce that we are now in-network with Geinsinger Health Plan and able to accept any individual covered by Geinsinger Health Plan insurance as an in-network provider.
