First Step Center - Med Sup Withdrawal Inpatient

24/7 Detox and Stabilization Without Hospitalization

First Step Center - Med Sup Withdrawal Inpatient provides short-term residential detox and stabilization for adults who need close support through withdrawal but do not require hospitalization. The program offers a structured, sober environment with round-the-clock on-site medical, nursing, and counseling staff to help clients safely manage withdrawal and start early recovery.

A Built-In Step From Detox to Stabilization

This program is designed to be more than a place to “get through detox.” Alongside withdrawal support, the center offers a stabilization track that helps clients regain daily footing, build early routines, and prepare for continued treatment. This step-down focus can be especially helpful for people who want a clearer bridge from detox into ongoing recovery support.

Co-Occurring and Medication Support on Site

The center treats substance use disorders and supports clients with co-occurring mental health needs. Services include screening and assessment, counseling, and psychiatric evaluation with medication management when clinically indicated. Medication support for addiction may be part of care, and the program may also accept clients who arrive using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed elsewhere.

Practical Supports That Reduce Barriers

Planning for what comes next is part of the model. Discharge planning, referrals to outpatient or continuing care, and follow-up after discharge help clients transition into longer-term support. The center also connects clients to recovery support like peer mentoring, self-help groups, housing services, help accessing social services, vocational or educational support, naloxone and overdose education, and transportation assistance.

A Quiet Niagara Falls Setting With Everyday Comforts

Located in Niagara Falls and accessible by public bus, the center sits near local medical offices and residential areas, offering a quieter setting for early recovery. As a residential program, it provides daily structure and basic on-site support such as scheduled meals, along with practical amenities reported by third-party directories, including air-conditioned rooms.
