About White Deer Run of Allenwood

White Deer Run of Allenwood is a substance use and mental health disorder treatment center located in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. They offer medical and clinical detox for adults 18 and up who are withdrawing from drugs or alcohol. They’ll directly bill your insurance based on the provided services. They work with most major insurance providers but they also take payment from other funding sources such as government funded programs.

Detox is a good first step if you’ve been using drugs or alcohol for a long time. Drug use changes your body over time and your body gets adjusted to the chemicals. If you try to stop using on your own, sometimes the withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous.

The center uses a detox process called DOVE (detoxification, observation, verification, evaluation). You’ll be medically monitored throughout the process. You’ll spend about three days in detox. If you’re moving to the residential substance use rehab program then you’ll usually spend another seven days tapering down. During the detox process, you’ll meet with staff for medical and mental health assessments.

It’s common for people with a substance use disorder (SUD) to also have co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder. If that’s the case for you then the doctor may prescribe medication to help you overcome both challenges. While undergoing detox, you’ll also attend 12-step meetings and educational groups if possible.

Detox is a great first step for ridding your body of harmful chemicals. When you’re done with the detox process, you and your treatment team can decide what further treatment steps will be appropriate for your needs.
