Hospital Based Addiction Treatment
Their addiction program is not in a standalone clinic. It is in a not for profit Critical Access Hospital that also houses a 24 hour emergency department with medical doctors and psychiatric services.
Medical detox, mental health care, and addiction treatment happen inside one system.
The program is the largest treatment center in the region and it is the primary comprehensive addiction resource for a vast rural corridor where the next option may be hours away.
This structure is best for some patients.
Someone who needs to detox from benzodiazepines or alcohol and has medical risk factors or those with a dual mental illness can be managed by the same health system rather than transferred between providers.
The program treats adolescents and adults. Standalone outpatient clinics in small towns usually do not provide services for both.
