Backed by the resources of a full medical hospital, this program is designed for individuals who benefit from clinically supported, integrated care under one roof.
Hospital-Based Addiction Treatment
The core strength of Mercy Hospital's program is its hospital-affiliated continuum of care for alcohol and drug dependency.
Patients can access detox, inpatient stabilization, day treatment and outpatient follow-up, all within a medical setting that supports higher-acuity needs.
Treatment combines medication-supported options like buprenorphine and naltrexone with counseling such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused approaches.
Individual, group, family and couples sessions help address the underlying drivers of substance use while building practical relapse prevention skills.
Dual Diagnosis and Specialized Populations
The program also focuses on co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders providing integrated care for clients managing both conditions.
Services extend to a wide range of adult populations, including veterans, active-duty military, young adults, seniors, pregnant and postpartum women and individuals with trauma histories.
