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.

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.

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.

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.”

The week of May 6th through May 12th is National Nurses Appreciation Week in the United States. National Nurses Week begins every year on May 6th. National Nurses Week is an annual celebration to elevate and celebrate the nursing profession and all the dedicated, hardworking nurses nationwide.

We are proud to publicly announce Molly Ashcroft, CADC, as Executive Director of Innovo Detox. With an extensive background working in the field of addiction treatment and recovery, Molly is uniquely positioned to lead the Innovo Detox staff as the premier provider of detox and medical stabilization services in the Mid-Atlantic area for those suffering from addiction, substance use disorder, and co-occurring disorders.

In an effort to make our detox and medical stabilization services more accessible to patients in need, we are pleased to announce that Innovo Detox is now an in-network provider with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, and able to accept Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance and all Blue Card Member plans.

As we as a society and as local communities brace for the impact of COVID-19, we wanted to say to you that here at Innovo Detox, our doors are still open and we are here to help those in need of detox and medical stabilization services.
