New Start provides inpatient emergency medical stabilization for any person who is either intoxicated or experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms from drugs. Supervised stabilization typically lasts three days and includes an assessment of the patient’s medical history, physical, complete laboratory workup and a nursing assessment.
Included also, if required, is an integrated, crisis, intervention team. The holistic team approach dominates the services and includes a medical director and nursing personnel who utilize the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team approach.
New Start accepts Medicaid, Medicare and most commercial insurance and managed care plans for inpatient treatment.

Once initial assessment and treatment have begun, a discharge plan is developed where the patient will be referred to an appropriate community based aftercare program.
Our goal is to provide support that works. New Start has a very high degree of success at getting patients from this initial level of care to a more advanced level leading to full independence. The New Start support groups blend education about chemical dependency with practical methodology to prevent relapse.
