24/7 Care with Hospital-Level Support

Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan and daily therapy to manage withdrawal safely. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), such as buprenorphine and naltrexone, are used when appropriate to ease symptoms and support stabilization. Because the program is located within a general hospital, patients also have immediate access to other medical services if complications arise.

Integrated Care for Detox and Beyond

Many entering detox also face mental health disorders, chronic pain, or trauma. This hospital-based unit is equipped to manage both addiction and co-occurring conditions in one coordinated environment. Staff collaborate across disciplines to ensure patients receive both medical and behavioral health support. Upon discharge, patients are connected to outpatient treatment through the hospital’s Addiction Services Center or referred to community programs.
