SSM Health DePaul Hospital – St. Louis
About SSM Health DePaul Hospital – St. Louis
SSM Health Behavioral Health at DePaul Hospital is the behavioral health department at an expansive and multi departmental hospital in Bridgeton, Missouri, in the St. Louis area. While the behavioral health center has several levels of care and can help with a range of behavioral health issues from addiction to mental health, let’s focus on their detox unit.
This facility has a specialized medical detox and withdrawal management center. It’s located in the behavioral health department, which is on the west side of the DePaul Hospital campus near parking lots 8 and 9. It’s for adults ages 18 and older who are beginning a recovery journey or recovering from a relapse of drug and alcohol addiction.
This detox center gives you a high level of medically managed detox care. While your body gets rid of the drugs and alcohol in your system and adjusts to functioning without them, the team here will monitor your health around the clock. If you’re withdrawing from opiates or alcohol, they can also use specific medications to reduce your withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This not only makes the process more comfortable for you, it gradually lowers your body’s dependence on drugs or alcohol.
All of their treatment is individualized for you and what you need at this time in your recovery. They’ll also help you plan the next stage of your recovery too and manage the transition to that next level of care, whether it’s residential rehab or an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or partial hospitalization services (PHP).
There are some things about this facility that I think are helpful to note. First of all, it’s part of a large medical system so they can coordinate your addiction treatment with other related needs like medical care and mental health care. Plus, they accept insurance plans from most major insurance providers like Aetna and Humana and United Healthcare.
