BreakThru Medical Withdrawal (Detox)
Evidence-Based Program Assists Patients through First Days of Withdrawal
BreakThru is a substance use service located within Southwest General Health Center. Patients who have problems with drugs or alcohol are medically stabilized and managed on a medical/surgical unit, just like any other patient recovering from surgery or other medical conditions, preserving dignity and confidentiality.
Using a multidisciplinary team approach, withdrawal symptoms and medical comorbidities are medically managed throughout the withdrawal period, ensuring safe and effective medical outcomes.
We offer an innovative medical collaboration between the hospital and community referral partners so that we can establish a personalized aftercare discharge plan.
BreakThru is devoted to focusing on integrity and quality to create a healthier and better life for those impacted by substance use and/or abuse.
