First Step is a medical detox program for individuals struggling with the
effects of alcohol addiction and the misuse of pain medication. Medical
detox is the first crucial stage in addiction recovery. It involves supervised,
medically monitored withdrawal from substances like alcohol or pain medications
to help manage withdrawal symptoms safely and effectively.
Admission Process
To ensure the safety and well-being of each patient,
First Step follows a thorough admission process. Here’s what you can expect:
Screening: Our team screens potential patients Monday through Friday (please note,
no walk-ins). This process helps us assess your needs and determine if
our detox program is appropriate for you.
Insurance Verification: Once your screening is complete, we will notify your insurance provider
to confirm coverage for the detox program.
Aftercare Plan: After your initial assessment, we’ll develop a personalized aftercare
plan to support your recovery journey. This plan may include psychiatrist
visits, mindfulness training, and other therapeutic services tailored
to your needs.
Admission to the Detox Facility: After completing the necessary steps, you will be admitted to our hospital where
First Step offers its detox services.
Our Team is Ready to Help
Baxter Health has a qualified treatment team including a Medical Director,
Hospitalists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, and nursing staff. We welcome
referrals from your
primary care physician or allow patients to
self-refer for our services.
The ultimate goal of our
First Step detox program is to provide a safe, medically supervised detox experience.
Typically, patients stay with us for
three nights in an
acute care hospital where they receive 24/7 care from our medical team. This period marks
the first step of your recovery journey, helping you manage withdrawal
symptoms and prepare for the next steps in treatment.
