For Nurses
Alternate Level of Care and Acute Medical Detox Unit
The Alternate Level of Care (ALC) and Acute Medical Detoxification unit serves a patient population from 18 years through geriatrics. An ALC patient falls between the traditional levels of actue care and skilled nursing care. Our ALC patients may be awaiting nursing home placement, or may be living with permanent brain injury. Our Acute Medical Detox program provides safe medical detox off of alcohol and/or drugs, and refers patients to an appropriate treatment program upon discharge. This unit provides a unique set of rewards and challenges to our dedicated staff.
