Inpatient drug detox and alcohol rehab center

Detox begins the moment a person stops using drugs or alcohol and ends when physically stable from the process. While physical detox may only last a few days or a week, the emotional and mental aspects of recovery may take much longer. Mirmont Treatment Center, a drug and alcohol treatment center just outside of Philadelphia, is a medically monitored, inpatient drug detox and alcohol rehab center that helps patients through detox—with minimal side effects and a program specifically tailored to individual patterns of substance use.

Ear acupuncture is an evidence-based practice used for addictions, stress and trauma that helps reduce cravings for addictive substances, minimizes withdrawal symptoms, increases calmness and sleep, and enhances inner calm and quiet. It is administered by a specially trained acudetox specialist.
At Mirmont, our inpatient drug and alcohol detox treatment is gradual, which helps significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms. Under our careful watch, medication and holistic pain management techniques are used to help control symptoms. We also take a holistic approach to drug and alcohol recovery, applying proven therapies such as acupuncture for detox, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), reiki (energy healing), and healing touch—all designed to help people recovering from drugs or alcohol develop comfort in simply “being with self.”

The detox process varies in length, depending on many medical and clinical factors. We stay with our patients throughout the process, offering physical and emotional support to help them get through this critical time.

Once detox is complete each patient is transitioned to a rehab level of care before outpatient treatment. We offer inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation and outpatient addiction treatment options depending on individual needs. No matter which level of care patients are transitioned to, they’ll receive the very best treatment and we’ll set them up for success on the road to sobriety.

Start the road to recovery today. Call us at 1.888.CARE.898 (227.3898) to schedule a confidential appointment and ask any questions. Or, use our secure online form to email us.
