Medical Stabilization
We offer inpatient medical stabilization service for adults with drug, alcohol, and health-related issues related to substance-use disorders.
This service is for adults who are currently using or are experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms from certain substances. It consists of a medically supervised stay at Virginia Baptist Hospital for inpatient stabilization that typically lasts three days. The inpatient stay includes:
- Pre-screening & Assessment
- Admission
- Medical stabilization - 24 hour care
- Appropriate discharge planning - clients who wish to receive further treatment may be referred to a residential or outpatient treatment program, such as Pathways Recovery Lodge.
We accept private pay, most insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare plans for Medical Stabilization. Call us at 434.200.4455
Compassionate Care
Withdrawal can be painful--but it doesn't have to be. We are one of the few inpatient facilities in Virginia to offer medication to relieve the pain of the withdrawal while medically supervising the process.
Anyone who suffers with substance abuse disorders may benefit from medical stabilization, but it’s especially important for people who have a history of using narcotic pain medications, sleeping pills, benzodiazepines or alcohol.
