Shared Harmony’s 24-Hour Addiction Care
___________________________
Imagine A Future where accessing addiction treatment is easy
Consider the current state of substance use & addiction treatment…
Wrong Care, Wrong Time
The medical complexity of acute intoxication is a burden on ill-fitted facilities like emergency rooms when it comes to evaluating and treating addiction.
High Costs
When people cannot access the appropriate level of acute evaluation and medical services, they end up in costlier emergency rooms and psychiatric crisis facilities.
Overuse of Crisis System
Due to a lack of appropriate, urgent evaluation services, people in acute intoxication use the mental health crisis system to access care.
Current state by the numbers…
Currently, no other organization in the Phoenix Metroplex provides a brick-and-mortar addiction medicine triage for adults, available 24/7 for intake to stabilize, and refer patients to the appropriate level of care.
How does 24-Hour Urgent Addiction Care help?
Operating as an access point to care, Shared Harmony’s 24-Hour Addiction Services offers addiction-specific urgent care services to individuals needing immediate observation and stabilization.
Once evaluated and stabilized, the individual is presented with the appropriate level of care for their personal, unique needs, whether outpatient treatment or inpatient detoxification, which is also provided by Shared Harmony’s 24-Hour Addiction Services, or at another facility.
A massive cost to the healthcare system is the overuse of emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities for patients suffering from substance use disorder, and their critical need for both immediate medical detoxification and referrals to longer-term inpatient and outpatient treatment.
Shared Harmony’s 24-Hour Addiction Services uses a proven model from an adjacent segment of behavioral health treatments to become the first Urgent Addiction Care facility in the Phoenix Metroplex.
Immediate access and direct referral to this Urgent Addiction Care presents massive savings to patients, families, and payers.
