Drug & Alcohol Withdrawal Program – Recovery & Addiction Medicine Program (R.A.M.P)

Recovering from an addiction can take a village. The expert team members at Wooster Community Hospital are proud to offer a full-spectrum inpatient Recovery and Addiction Medicine Program to adult patients who are suffering from substance abuse. We work with patients on an individual level to ensure they get the treatment they need to recover from their addictions once and for all.

Our mission for Wooster Community Hospital’s Recovery and Addiction Medicine Program is to provide effective drug and alcohol withdrawal treatment to all people with dignity and respect. We believe that all people have the right to quality care and assistance to receive the long-term treatment they deserve. We also believe there is hope for every person we serve through individualized treatment planning.

Inpatient Withdrawal Assistance Program for Adults

Wooster Community Hospital is proud to partner with OneEighty, a local crisis hotline and recovery assistance group, to offer a voluntary inpatient withdrawal assistance program for adults who are addicted to opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, and related substances. Wooster Community Hospital’s treatment program is led by the dedicated hospitalist team and nursing staff with input and guidance from Dr. Nicole Labor, an addiction medicine physician (addictionologist) with specialized training in treating people with substance abuse problems.

Our inpatient withdrawal treatment program accepts adults who are currently under the influence, experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms, or are otherwise appropriate for treatment. We are happy to accept most insurance plans.

Inpatient Withdrawal Treatment

Inpatient withdrawal treatment consists of a medically supervised hospital stay that typically lasts between 3 and 5 days. This inpatient program includes:

• Prescreening and admission, requiring a diagnosis of need by a licensed physician.
• Assessment of patient’s needs, including medical history, physical exam, and lab tests.
• Medical treatment and observation.
• Discharge planning, including a referral to an appropriate outpatient or residential treatment facility and resources.

Patients admitted to Wooster Community Hospital’s inpatient withdrawal treatment program receive care from dedicated hospital personnel, including an attending physician, nursing staff, and an addiction medicine counselor. This ensures each patient receives the attention and supervision needed to safely undergo withdrawal while hospitalized. Each patient is assigned a recovery coach to offer assistance and support during their journey to sobriety.
