SpecialCare Hospital Management provides New Vision Detox service through Acute Care Hospital Partnerships
Hospitals across the country are facing a growing need to provide substance use disorder and mental health services. BayMark offers hospitals across the country the opportunity to deliver specialized inpatient withdrawal management, commonly referred to as detoxification or detox, and medical stabilization services to the communities they serve. Through SpecialCare Hospital Management, BayMark Health Services is able to support this need in acute care hospitals across the country including large multi-hospital systems, rural health facilities, and critical access hospitals.
SpecialCare’s flagship service, New Vision, is a hospital-based inpatient withdrawal management (detox) service for adults who are currently experiencing active or impending withdrawal symptoms from certain drugs, including:
Alcohol
Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax)
Opioids (Heroin, OxyContin)
Stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine)
Combined substances
The patients admitted to the New Vision services are scheduled and voluntary admissions, with an average length of stay of three days.
The inpatient stay includes the following aspects:
Pre-screening
Assessment
Admission
Medical stabilization
Appropriate discharge planning
The services provided are executed through a management contract between SpecialCare and local hospitals and tailored to the needs of the individual hospital. Contracting with SpecialCare gives each hospital:
Access to experienced clinicians
Evidence-based treatment protocols
On-site staff who are trained in assessment, community outreach, and discharge planning
The hospital provides licensed patient beds, physician coverage, nursing care, admitting and discharge processing, billing and collections, and all other customary activities. The patients are normally admitted to the medical floor, so nursing services are administered as part of the fixed overhead, eliminating the need for specialized nursing care.
