HDGH’s Withdrawal Management Services (Community Outreach and Residential) can help individuals identify and create a withdrawal and recovery plan by connecting them with other addiction service providers.
Alternatively, the HDGH Addiction Assessment and Referral program can assist individuals and service providers if they are unfamiliar or unsure of a recovery strategy, and can also perform standardized addiction assessment and referrals for complex addiction when high-intensity services such as residential treatment are necessary.
