Pocono Mountain Recovery Center operates a detox unit designated for detoxification from sedative, stimulant drugs and/or opiate drugs. The Medical Director, Robert Morrow, M.D., board certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, has worked as a Psychiatrist and in Addiction Medicine for over twenty-seven years. He has designed detoxification protocols to help our clients ease their transition from active addiction to abstinence. Working under Dr. Morrow’s direction is a team of skilled nurses, Physician Assistant’s, and Registered Nurse Practitioners who will attend to the medical needs of clients at this level of care. We are staffed with Pennsylvania Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselors who have years of experience in the field of addiction treatment. They are complimented by a very dedicated group of Drug and Alcohol Treatment Technicians who also work directly with the clients. This country setting, coupled with an atmosphere of compassion and firmness, surrounded by people who understand since they have been there themselves, can be a very safe place to begin a road to recovery.

Do I Need DETOX?
If you are ...
... abusing alcohol, using heroin, cocaine, crystal meth, pills or other drugs your body will go through withdrawal when you stop using them. Our experienced Medical team will closely monitor each resident and keep him/her as safe and comfortable as possible.

How Long is DETOX?
Each person's "situation" is different and important factors such as type and amount of drug(s) being used, length of time using and a persons age and health condition are important factors determining the length of stay. The average length of stay is 4-5 days for alcohol detox, 7-8 days for opiate detox and 10-12 days for benzodiazepine detox.

What happens at DETOX?
At PMRC we closely monitor each resident's physical, mental and spiritual condition and try to keep him/her as comfortable as possible. Our daily schedule keeps him/her busy but understands that he/she is going through a difficult time.
