Medical Detox for Opioid Withdrawal

Why Medical Opioid Detox is Important

Withdrawal from opioids can feel overwhelming, and trying to manage it alone is not only uncomfortable, but potentially puts your health at risk. Innovo’s  medical detox in Pennsylvania gives you a safe place to stabilize your body, ease symptoms, and heal so you can begin recovery strong. Clinical research also shows that medically supported opioid detox and/or MAT can reduce the odds of a recurrence in use (relapse). There is no reason to endure opioid withdrawal without the medical support you deserve.

What Opioid Withdrawal Feels Like

Opioid withdrawal may begin with cravings, followed by feeling too hot or cold, anxiety and very low energy. As more time passes, the physical symptoms intensify along with anxiety and/or depression. At Innovo Detox, we offer a safe, comfort-focused detox from opioids to make this difficult change significantly easier.

Symptoms of opioid withdrawal include:

  • Anxiety
  • Lethargy (tiredness)
  • Cravings
  • Cold sweats
  • Stomach pain and nausea
  • Aches and pains
  • Restless legs (kicking)

How We Make Opioid Detox Safer and More Comfortable

Our clinical staff monitor your vital signs, and manage manage symptoms with an evidence-based approach that includes medications for comfort. Attending to your health and wellbeing is what we do best, and keeping you as comfortable as possible during opioid withdrawal is a key part of that. You rest in a private, calm environment while our expert staff guides you through each stage as you make progress.

Typical Opioid Detox Timeline (7–14 Days)

Most people complete opioid detox in 7 to 14 days. The first few days focus on stabilizing any withdrawal symptoms and allowing your body some much needed rest. As opioid withdrawal symptoms ease, we help you prepare for residential treatment so you can keep building momentum in your recovery.

Residential Treatment After Detox

Why Detox Alone Isn’t Enough

Detox addresses opioid dependence. This means it helps the body adapt to the absence of opioids. What detox cannot do is address opioid addiction, which is the craving and obsession. Detox doesn’t address the patterns, stress, or triggers that can fuel opioid use Without continued support, cravings and old habits can pull you back into the cycle. Relapse therapy can help people understand those triggers, build prevention plans, and stay supported after treatment.

This is where residential treatment enters the picture. Residential treatment for opioid addiction provides the mental health support, tools and knowledge you will need to stay on the path. Detox breaks you free of the grip of Percocet, Vicodin and other opioids. Residential treatment sets you up for successful recovery so you can stay free.

What Residential Treatment Looks Like at Innovo

You move into a calm, supportive setting where you begin therapy to help unfold the layers which have helped make opioid addiction a problem for you. Our team helps you settle into a steady routine, build trust, and feel safe enough to do deeper therapeutic work. You stay connected to the same compassionate addiction professionals who guided you through detox, which makes the transition feel smooth and familiar.

Therapy, Support, and Daily Structure

Each day includes therapy, skill‑building, and group support. You learn how to manage cravings, understand your triggers, and build healthier ways to cope. The steady rhythm of treatment helps you stay focused and supported. You learn to better understand yourself as you build a solid foundation for lasting recovery.

Building Skills for Long‑Term Recovery

As you grow stronger, we help you plan your next steps. You practice real‑life skills, strengthen your support system, and prepare for the next chapter in your recovery, so you can leave treatment with confidence and a sense of purpose.

What Are Opioids?

Opioids are a class of drug derived from thebaine, a naturally occurring opiate alkaloid found in the opium poppy plant or they may be synthesized (made in a lab) without any natural ingredients, fentanyl, for example. Opioids work in the brain to produce a variety of effects, including pain relief, and a sense of wellbeing (or euphoria at higher doses). Most prescription opioids are typically prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. Some examples of prescription opioids are Vicodin, Hydrocodone, Percocet, Oxycodone, OxyContin, morphine, codeine, methadone, and fentanyl. Heroin and opium are examples of illicit opioids. The current opioid epidemic is driven by both prescribed and unprescribed or illicit opioids. Whether you were prescribed opioids or not, you deserve help.

Opioids are highly addictive, largely because they “hijack” the brain’s reward system until dependence takes root. As a person’s brain and body adapt to the prescribed dose or normal usage amount, they may find that they need even more of the substance to achieve the same effect (relieve pain, get high) or even to achieve a sense of well-being or normalcy. This is opioid dependence. Opioid addiction, the mental obsession and craving often begins when the person realizes they now need opioids to simply “feel OK”.

Every person facing opioid addiction has different life experiences, physiology and genetic makeup. But, physical dependency, which often leads to full blown addiction, will occur after taking opioids regularly for an extended period of time. It may be weeks or months, but no one is immune to the “chemical hook” of opioids.

In 1996, the American Pain Society (APS)  described “pain as the fifth vital sign,” in an effort to reduce the under-assessment and inadequate treatment of pain for patients. Then in 2001, the Joint Commission (formerly The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, or JCAHO), the national accreditation for hospital and healthcare systems, introduced new national standards for organizations to improve their care for patients with pain. These standards include using pain as the fifth vital sign. Hospitals, who often receive accreditation marks and funding based on patient surveys, reacted to these new standards, and thus the prescribing of opioids increased.

In the 1990s, Purdue Pharma began making and marketing the powerful opioid OxyContin. Through litigation and the release of internal documents, we now know that Purdue Pharma made a consolidated push to market OxyContin as “safe” and “non-addicting,” which is clearly inaccurate.

In this perfect storm, prescriptions of OxyContin and other opioids skyrocketed. Pain clinics cropped up nationwide, handing out prescriptions like candy and flooding the United States with powerful, addictive and dangerous opioids. This created the earliest stage of our current opioid and heroin addiction epidemic.

Eventually, a series of lawsuits by numerous states, including Pennsylvania, and pressure from the federal government forced the Sackler Family to give up control of Purdue Pharma and pay a substantial national settlement of $7.4 billion for the damage done. The individual states impacted are each receiving settlement funds to help combat opioid addiction. Pennsylvania is projected to receive up to $212 million distributed over 15 years.

Here are some numbers related to our current opioid epidemic:

  • Per the CDC, approximately 105,000 people died from drug overdose in 2023 and nearly 80,000 of those deaths involved opioids (about 76%).
  • The number of people who died from an opioid overdose in 2023 was nearly 10 times the number in 1999.
  • From 1999-2023, approximately 806,000 people died from an opioid overdose. This includes overdose deaths involving prescription and illegal opioids.
  • On average, 130 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.
  • Some positive news, U.S. overall drug overdose deaths dropped by almost 27% in 2024.
  • About 12 million Americans misused opioids in 2024, including 11. million prescription misusers and 900,000 heroin users.
  • In 2023, healthcare providers across the U.S. wrote more than 191 million prescriptions for opioid pain medication — a rate of 58.7 prescriptions per 100 people.
  • Despite guidelines to limit opioids as a first approach to managing most chronic pain, a study found that primary care clinicians wrote 45% of all opioid prescriptions in the United States.
  • Every day, more than 1,000 people are treated in emergency rooms or emergency departments nationwide for misusing prescription opioids.
  • The CDC estimates the total economic burden of prescription opioid misuse in the U.S. is $78.5 billion a year, including health care, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement. This is just the economic impact of prescription opioid misuse — it does not account for the economic impact of illicit opioids and other substance misuse.
