Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
Using both legal medications and illegal substances in order to maintain an addiction is substance abuse. If you are taking more of your prescription, or earlier than the prescribed time interval between doses than is directed you may be abusing that medication.

Illegal substances can become addictive after a single use and lead rapidly to substance abuse. The professionals at Pyramid Healthcare - Detox and Inpatient Treatment Center are here to help.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment helps people addicted to opioids in Pennsylvania curb their drug use. The selection of a treatment setting depends on the severity of the addiction. Mild cases are usually treated in outpatient facilities; severe cases need hospitalization or treatment in a residential facility. Doctors use medicines along with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat the addiction. The treatment includes medication, counseling and therapy. It can also include group counseling, individual counseling and family counseling.

Detox is a drug rehab process that begins before the actual drug rehab treatment. It is used to remove any residual toxins left in your body (and brain) after using drugs, and it is used with the intent to help you or your loved one complete drug rehab.
If you are addicted to opiates like heroin, methadone, or prescription painkillers, you will detox with medication. This is because the withdrawal symptoms are often more intense and uncomfortable for an opiate addict than for someone who has abused or is dependent on other drugs, like cocaine.
Inpatient programs are intensive regimes that require individuals suffering from serious addictions to admit themselves into a controlled environment. Inpatient programs in Pennsylvania generally span over 28 days to six months. The first step in an inpatient program is medically assisted detox. Doctors and addiction specialists at Pyramid Healthcare - Detox and Inpatient Treatment Center monitor the individual’s vital signs as the drugs leave their system. Some inpatient rehab programs also provide counseling for family members to provide encouragement and emotional support. In inpatient programs, patients have access to 24-hour medical supervision.
To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Pyramid Healthcare - Detox and Inpatient Treatment Center offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the Pennsylvania patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.
Sober living houses like Pyramid Healthcare - Detox and Inpatient Treatment Center in Duncansville help the patient move from a structured recovery facility to an everyday life smoothly. They are also known as homes for recuperation or half-way houses. SLH offers the value of living with a peer group with similar experiences and is recovering collectively, instead of individualized or alone.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
Aftercare comprises services that help recovering addicts readjust to normal day-to-day Pennsylvania activities. It can last a year or even longer. Services include individual and family counseling, medications to reduce cravings, and treatment of psychiatric and other medical conditions. Aftercare support begins once you have completed earlier stages of treatment.
