Drug Detoxification in Cordele Opens at Regional Hospital

CORDELE, Ga. - June 29, 2018 - PRLog -- A hospital in Cordele, Georgia has begun offering drug detoxification services to help people from Crisp County who are struggling with substance use disorder. Crisp Regional Hospital has applied the New Vision Drug and Alcohol Medical Stabilization Service on Monday.

"It's been over a year in the making of bringing this service to Crisp Regional Hospital," said Ashley Williams, the service coordinator of the new program.

The New Vision drug detoxification program is the first in Cordele, based on the 2017 National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Facilities.

"It's initiated with an inquiry call to us," Williams said. "We have to hear directly from the patient as far as their desire to want to participate."

New Vision's drug detoxification does an important vetting process to figure out whether the patient is a good fit for the services. Once the process is completed, patients are transferred to the intake process.

"Our intake usually doesn't take longer than 30 to 45 minutes," she added. "We get a good history of use and of physical health concerns. We ask about behavioral health concerns, any past treatment (https://www.drugaddictionnow.com/2018/06/28/addiction-tre...) and then the biggest thing is asking them about their plans after

the service has been completed so that we can basically start aftercare planning as soon as they're admitted."
