High Medical Acuity
Comprehensive Care for Complex Medical Conditions During Recovery
At Crestone Detox and Rehab Austin, we understand that addiction recovery becomes more complex when co-occurring medical conditions are present. Our High Medical Acuity program provides specialized, compassionate care for individuals whose substance use disorders are complicated by serious medical conditions that require ongoing monitoring and treatment.
Our Program
High Medical Acuity treatment is designed for individuals who need intensive medical supervision during their addiction recovery journey. This specialized level of care addresses both substance use disorders and complex medical conditions simultaneously, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive treatment that doesn’t compromise their overall health and well-being.
Our approach recognizes that treating addiction in isolation isn’t always possible or safe when serious medical conditions are present. Instead, we provide integrated care that addresses the whole person, not just the addiction.
