CommQuest, a Canton, Ohio-based recovery services provider, is leasing the space from Alliance for the CommQuest Alliance Detox and Recovery Unit, which holds 16 beds and two 23-hour observation beds on the hospital’s third floor. Patients can reserve space in the unit over the phone or can enter through the emergency room and stay in the unit any time for treatment lasting three days to two weeks.
One of the unit’s biggest goals is to help connect patients with counseling resources after they have been discharged.
“What we don’t want to do is detox people and throw them out to the street,” Thomas Gibbs, MD, medical director for the detox unit, told The Alliance Review. “That just leads to a revolving door-type of situation.”
