Acute Treatment Services for Addiction

Acute treatment services represent high-level care in drug and alcohol rehab. For many people with a substance use disorder that involves alcohol, achieving sobriety can be potentially dangerous. Since alcohol can cause dangerous and even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, it’s important to seek help from medical professionals. Acute treatment services involve medically managed intensive inpatient treatment. Through this level of care, you may be treated with medications to help you avoid or address severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures, fever, and heart palpitations.

High-level care is designed to address significant medical needs, especially needs related to withdrawal symptoms. However, acute treatment can also be used to treat other medical needs and complications related to substance use problems. In high-level care, you may also begin to address the root of your substance use problems in individual and group therapy sessions. 

Clinical Stabilization Services

Clinical stabilization services also involve inpatient treatment and 24-hour care. It usually involves short-term treatment that lasts for a few weeks. Clinical stabilization treatment includes medically monitored inpatient treatment and residential services. This is reserved for people who need high-level care but don’t need the acute medical care necessary for treating withdrawal. This level of care may also involve individual and group therapy sessions, along with behavioral therapies.
