Our fully licensed detox for alcohol and drugs includes:
24/7 Medical Monitoring: A medical team, often including doctors and nurses, closely monitors the individual’s physical condition during the withdrawal process. Skilled in treating alcohol, heroin, prescription drugs, cocaine, benzodiazepines, stimulants, hallucinogens, and designer drugs
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT): Medications may be prescribed to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce discomfort. For example, benzodiazepines might be used to alleviate anxiety and seizures during alcohol withdrawal, or opioid replacement therapy might be used for opioid withdrawal.
Continuing Care Plan: After detox, individuals are encouraged to continue with therapy and treatment to address the root causes of their substance use and develop coping strategies for maintaining sobriety.
Safety and Comfort: The program aims to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the individual undergoing withdrawal. This may involve ensuring proper hydration, nutrition, and rest. St. Joseph’s Amenities include a Wellness center, gym, lounges, library, game room, and chapel.
Professional & Licensed Medical Staff: Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Insurance for Substance Use Disorders: Most insurance plans accepted.
An individualized program of counseling and recovery education is implemented at a pace that is appropriate for someone moving through detox for alcohol and drugs.
After a few days, most residents are able to become active participants in the many activities that are available.
