BREAKING: Archbold Grady has just announced the launch of its new Withdrawal Management Service in Cairo, aimed at providing crucial support for adults seeking to withdraw from substance and alcohol abuse. This voluntary inpatient program is designed to facilitate safe and medically supervised withdrawals, with a focus on individuals struggling with alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines.
Program Director David Griner stated, “Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment by offering 24-hour medical care, medications to minimize withdrawal symptoms, and private rooms for patients.” The program is especially significant given the rising concerns over substance abuse and its impact on personal and professional lives.
Withdrawal can be a daunting challenge, but Archbold Grady is committed to making this process as manageable as possible. As Community Education Director Wendy Beatty highlighted, “When you’ve used drugs or alcohol habitually for a long time, your body can begin to rely on it to feel normal.” The program aims to help patients break free from these dependencies safely.
Patients can expect an average stay of 3 to 5 days in the inpatient setting, ensuring constant medical supervision and immediate access to treatment in case of complications. This medically managed withdrawal is recognized as one of the safest methods to rid the body of harmful substances.
Importantly, the program also emphasizes that medically managed withdrawal is merely the first step on the path to recovery. Archbold Grady will assist patients in developing ongoing recovery plans to enhance their chances of success after discharge.
Admission to the Withdrawal Management Service is primarily through referrals from primary care providers, although self-referrals are also accepted. Interested individuals can call the admissions team at 229-516-3494 at any time, as referrals are accepted 24/7. All patients must be willing and able to provide consent before entering the program.
The Withdrawal Management Service is open to all adults aged 18 and older, including pregnant and postpartum mothers. The program is equipped to accept various insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance.
