The facility provides patients with a therapeutic setting where they can have their own private rooms and comfortable dining, community and therapy rooms. The South Central Alcohol and Drug Detox Unit is staffed with certified clinical and medical personnel who will provide each patient with the highest quality of care. Patients will participate in a structured program that includes a physical examination, a psychiatric evaluation and education on the disease of addiction.

Along with using medication, patients will receive other services during detox, such as individual counseling, group therapy, and help with developing a relapse prevention plan.

If a client desires it as a part of their treatment then they can also receive spiritual counseling. Patients will have the option of attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings in house or outside of the facility as additional support. When patients have completed detox, South Central Regional Medical Center can refer them to a continuing care facility such as a halfway house or a secondary treatment facility.
