Drug Detox & Addiction Treatment Services

Pine Tree Recovery Center provides a caring and supportive environment where individuals can safely detox from substance misuse under clinical oversight and begin their road to recovery through inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient programs. We offer a unique treatment experience that includes the most recent advances in evidence-based approaches and a full spectrum of therapies and services. 

Substance Use Disorders Addressed at Our Treatment Facility

When a person develops dependence on a substance, they typically experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop or significantly cut back on its use. Medical detox is a process that takes place under the close supervision of medical professionals and helps those misusing alcohol or drugs undergo this difficult period of brain and body readjustment. Our detox programs have been developed to treat a wide range of substance use disorders, such as those related to prescription drugs, alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and synthetic substances.

Prescription Drug Detox

Many prescription medications have the potential for misuse and dependence. The treatment protocol for these varies depending on the specific substance and other factors.

We treat substance use disorders related to a host of prescription drugs, including:

• Opioids such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl
• Stimulants used to address symptoms of ADD/ADHD, such as Adderall 
• Benzodiazepines (benzos) such as lorazepam (Ativan) and alprazolam (Xanax)
• Sedative/hypnotics such as zolpidem (Ambien) and eszopiclone (Lunesta)
• Other depressants including muscle relaxers and antipsychotics

Alcohol Detox

Alcohol withdrawal is potentially dangerous and requires clinical supervision to ensure that severe symptoms such as tremors, confusion, hallucinations, and seizures are managed and do not become life-threatening. Our alcohol detox program provides individuals with the medical care and support they need during withdrawal to ensure they are safe and as comfortable as possible.

Opioid Detox

Opioids are powerful central nervous system depressants that can lead to intense and unpleasant symptoms when a user undergoes withdrawal. Due to the severity of these effects, individuals detoxing from opioids on their own often resume use prior to detox completion. For this reason and many others, it’s important to seek assistance from a licensed and accredited substance use treatment facility, such as Pine Tree Recovery Center, to promote safety and prevent relapse.

Stimulant Detox

Cocaine and methamphetamine are among the most commonly misused and illicitly obtained stimulants. Discontinuing the use of these drugs after a prolonged or intense period of use is associated with symptoms such as severe depression and fatigue that can lead to relapse. Fortunately, undergoing withdrawal in a comfortable, clinical setting can significantly reduce the risk of this occurring.

Benzodiazepine Detox

Like alcohol withdrawal, abruptly stopping the use of benzos, such as Xanax and Ativan, can cause intense effects including severe anxiety, insomnia, tremors, and life-threatening seizures. Those who attempt to do this solo face a high level of uncertainty and potential for relapse. As such, experts recommend medical detox for benzodiazepine withdrawal.  

Synthetic Drug Detox

Synthetic drugs are made in laboratories and intended to resemble the effects of natural substances. They can produce a wide range of effects, including those that mimic opioids, sedatives, stimulants, and hallucinogens. 

Common Synthetic Drugs Include:

• Opioids — Illicit fentanyl and its analogs
• Stimulants — phentermine, ephedrine, cathinone
• Cannabinoids — K2, Spice
• Dissociative Anesthetics — PCP, ketamine, MK-801
• Empathogens — MDMA (Ecstasy/Molly)
• Psychedelics — LSD, DMT

Our Levels of Care for Substance Use Recovery

At Pine Tree Recovery Center, a Cumberland County alcohol and drug rehab center, we offer various levels of care for individuals seeking substance use disorder treatment. 

Levels of Care Include: 

• Crisis Intervention 
• Medical Detoxification 
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
• Aftercare Planning

Our intensive outpatient treatment program (IOP) is a flexible form of addiction treatment that allows individuals to work, attend school, engage in their daily lives, and live at home while participating in our treatment program. Treatment sessions are held four days a week for three hours per day. Clients attend IOP for approximately eight weeks. The program utilizes a wide variety of therapeutic practices, 12-step recovery, and holistic treatment methods to address addiction.

Our IOP may be a good fit for:

• Those whose needs or preferences do not necessitate a 24/7 residential stay 
• Those who require flexible scheduling to manage personal responsibilities 
• Those who need a higher level of care than standard outpatient treatment 
• Those who have already completed higher levels of care, such as residential treatment or partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

Substance Use Treatment Therapies

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — Considered the gold standard of psychiatric treatment, CBT focuses on helping individuals identify and alter dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) — DBT is a CBT-based therapy that focuses on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) — This counseling approach helps people resolve indifference toward abstinence and recovery and find motivation for making positive changes.
• Relapse Prevention Training — Intended to help individuals identify triggers and develop healthier coping mechanisms, relapse prevention is essential for the maintenance of long-term sobriety.
• Individual Therapy — This one-on-one therapy provides a safe, confidential setting for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained specialist.

• Family Therapy — Focused on helping improve communication and relationships within the family unit, family therapy helps family members manage conflict and foster understanding and compassion.

Other Holistic Methodologies Include:
