As a licensed acute care hospital, we can manage complex medical conditions.
We currently have an adult program serving those aged 18 and older and an adolescent program for teens aged 12 to 18. This unit is designated for acute inpatient substance abuse treatment services, which includes providing 24-hour nursing care and observation of patients who are detoxing from drugs and alcohol. When going through alcohol or drug detoxification, some individuals may experience severe withdrawal symptoms that require inpatient medical services.
