New vision (2)

Jefferson Stratford Hospital is now offering services to help people overcome withdrawal symptoms from drug and alcohol addictions through New Vision medical stabilization service.

The New Vision service serves adults with a medically supervised hospital stay for inpatient stabilization, which usually lasts three days. The inpatient stay includes pre-screening, assessment, admission, medical stabilization, and discharge planning. Discharge planning occurs prior to leaving the hospital; the patient will be referred to appropriate community-based treatment programs to help prevent relapse and continue their treatment.

Patients can only be admitted by a licensed physician and will be admitted five days a week. Most insurances are accepted.

New Vision, a hospital-based medical stabilization and withdrawal management service, is provided through a partnership with SpecialCare Hospital Management of St. Charles, MO, and is currently offered in nearly 50 hospitals across the U.S. SpecialCare has been providing inpatient medical stabilization in collaboration with short-term acute care hospitals for more 26 years. More information can be found at www.specialcarecorp.com.
