What is it?

As the first phase in the recovery process, the StepOne Service™ is a hospital-based, three-to-five-day acute withdrawal management service. Provided at Ashley Regional Medical Center, it is for adults who are in the impending or early stage of withdrawal from alcohol and/or opioids.

The Service:

• Requires voluntary admission to the hospital.
• Provides round-the-clock medical care by the hospitalist team & nurses at Ashley Regional Medical Center.
• Uses protocol-specific medications to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms.

Commitment

Individuals seeking treatment through the StepOne Service™ must be committed to staying in the hospital until they are medically stable. Once discharged from the hospital, they must be motivated to continue addiction treatment by transitioning to a service based in their community.

The Process:

• Telephone pre-screening
• In-person assessment
• Admission to Ashley Regional Medical Center
• Acute withdrawal management
• Individualized discharge planning
• Post-discharge follow-up
