StepOne Service

Ashley Regional Medical Center has partnered with StepOne Service to provide an inpatient, three-to-five day hospital-based medical detox to safely manage opioid and alcohol withdrawals. This service is available to adults requiring medical management of withdrawal symptoms.

Detox is provided to individuals who are in impending or early stages of acute withdrawal at the time of hospital admission. The goal is to safely medically assist the individual through the withdrawal process and help them navigate the transition to an appropriate level of community-based addiction treatment that can address the underlying causes of their substance use disorder.
