Detoxification

Detoxification is often the first step to addressing alcohol or substance use. The Crisis Stabilization program offers opioid, alcohol and benzodiazepine detoxification to those who are actively withdrawing from drugs or alcohol and demonstrate commitment to long-term drug or alcohol treatment upon discharge. If the consumer expresses that they have no plans to enter long-term treatment upon completing the detoxification process or has had previous detoxification admissions with failure to follow-up with drug or alcohol treatment, admission for detoxification may not be approved.

Additionally, if a referral has been actively utilizing alcohol and would likely obtain a Breathalyzer result of .08 or higher, then medical clearance will need to be obtained to ensure the consumer’s safety and competence level to consent to treatment. The consumer will be admitted to the CSU once a Breathalyzer result is obtained that is lower than .08.

Please review our Detox Frequently Asked Questions for more details.

The Oaks at FMRS

The Oaks at FMRS provides both residential treatment for men with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders as well as medically monitored inpatient withdrawal management for men and women.

The Oaks serves 12 men in the residential treatment program and 8 co-ed residents in the withdrawal management program. The newly renovated center is at 306 Withrow Loop, Beckley; on the Jackie Withrow Hospital campus. See inside The Oaks!

The Oaks medically monitored withdrawal management program is short-term with the goal of stabilizing the person and moving them to the next appropriate level of care in the individual’s treatment journey. This level of care is appropriate for those with biomedical, emotional, behavioral and/or cognitive conditions that require highly structured 24-hour services including direct evaluation, observation, and medically monitored addiction treatment. Please review our Frequently Asked Questions for more information regarding this program.

The Oaks residential treatment program offers multiple levels of care based on the consumer’s specific needs with an average length of stay of 120 days. Comprehensive, multi-faceted treatment is provided to individuals with not only substance use issues, but also psychological problems, and chaotic or unsupportive interpersonal relationships, and criminal justice histories. The level of instability is of such severity that necessitates a 24-hour treatment setting. Treatment promotes abstinence from substance use and other negative behaviors to effect positive change in the consumer’s lifestyle, attitudes, and values.  The focus is on stabilizing current severity and preparation to continue treatment in less intensive levels of care while fostering stability in social, community, and living environments.

Turning Pointe

Turning Pointe is an intensive residential treatment program tailored to address the needs of adult women; including pregnant and post-partum women (up to 12 months) with identified substance use disorders and/or co-occurring mental health diagnoses. The typical client may suffer from family stress, financial burdens, employment issues, legal issues, and health issues as a result of her substance use disorder.  The length of stay is determined on an individual basis.  Treatment interventions include participation in group therapy, individual sessions with a therapist, frequent and random drug screens, peer recovery support services, and recovery-based activities, including SMART Recovery. Parenting skills are also developed at Turning Pointe and clients are linked with appropriate community resources to encourage ongoing growth following completion of treatment. This program also provides access to medical and psychiatric services as needed.

While smoking is allowed during limited times and designated space; there is smoking cessation programing and assists available to help women if they chose to become tobacco free. Women who are pregnant have a choice (made with their doctor’s input) to slowly taper off opiates if that is the drug of choice, or to use Medication Assisted Treatment (Subutex) while in residential treatment to minimize the impact of drug use on the development of the fetus. Turning Pointe staff have a close relationship with the OBGYN Clinic (through Access Health) and with Raleigh General Hospital’s neonatal and labor and delivery staff. The health of both mom and her baby are a key goal of the program. See inside Turning Pointe!
