MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – During Mental Health awareness month, we’re spotlighting the life-changing services available right here in our community for individuals battling substance use. AltaPointe Health offers comprehensive detox and treatment programs designed to support people at every stage of recovery. Dr. Luke Engeriser, AltaPointe’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer and Director of the Addiction Medicine Fellowship program, joined Studio10 to share how AltaPointe is providing help and hope for those struggling with addiction.
Medically-Managed Withdrawal Unit: A Safe Start to Recovery
Withdrawal can be one of the most difficult and dangerous parts of overcoming addiction. AltaPointe Health provides medically supervised detox services, ensuring that individuals can begin their recovery journey in a safe, supportive environment. With trained medical professionals on site 24/7, patients are monitored and cared for as their bodies adjust to life without substances.
Whole-Person, Evidence-Based Treatment
Beyond detox, AltaPointe offers a full continuum of care. This includes:
- Intensive Outpatient Programs with options designed specifically for women, working individuals, and integrated treatment for co-occuring disorders
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
- Individual and group therapy
- Recovery support services like case management, supported employment, etc.
These programs are tailored to meet each person’s needs, recognizing that recovery is not one-size-fits-all.
Accessible Care for All
AltaPointe accepts most insurance plans and works with individuals regardless of financial status. Their team also helps patients and families navigate the admissions process, offering guidance and compassion from the very first phone call.
