As we close out 2020 and begin 2021 renewed with hope and faith, I want to take a moment to honor all the hard work that the Innovo Detox team put forth this past year in such an incredibly challenging time. We opened our doors at the beginning of a global health pandemic that shut down the world, so to say that I am incredibly proud of our team at Innovo would be an understatement.   When I reflect on this last year and the weeks leading up to us opening our doors on March 16th, I think about all the excitement, motivation, hard work, and hope that quickly turned to fear when COVID-19 took the nation by storm.  There [...]

Here at Innovo Detox, we understand the fear and trepidation that most callers experience when picking up the phone and calling a detox, rehab, or addiction treatment center. There is an old saying that goes “no one goes to treatment on a winning streak” and we understand the crisis that most individuals and families are facing when calling us for help. Often there are years of trauma, distress and hopelessness that proceed that call, or perhaps there is frustration, despair, and sadness because it is not the first time that they have called a detox in need of help. The caller may have been caught in the grips of addiction for many years, or their family may be calling after [...]

Innovo Detox, a MARC Treatment Center, opened its door in Adams County, Pennsylvania on March 16th, 2020.   Two years of planning and construction went into providing a first-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art stand-alone detox facility to offer services to those suffering from addiction and co-occurring disorders.   Understanding that addiction is a complex, chronic illness that often requires long-term treatment and recovery support, we also knew two key points: 1) That detox, withdrawal management and medical stabilization are often the key first step in the recovery process for the majority of individuals suffering from addiction, and 2) everyone's path of recovery is different and that while a continuum of care that includes treatment and recovery support is key, not everyone's journey will [...]

Individuals seeking help for addiction and family members seeking services to help their loved ones should have a clear picture of who is delivering the care. Here at Innovo Detox, we understand that suffering from addiction is lonely, painful, and often encompasses the individual, and their family and loved ones with a feeling of hopelessness.

Detox is often the first step for someone to overcome their addiction. Detox, withdrawal management, and medical stabilization prepare the individual to be both physically and emotionally...

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.
