New Vision – Atmore Community Hospital – Closed

Atmore Community Hospital is located in Atmore, Alabama. This is a quiet, historic community about an hour’s drive from Mobile and close to the Florida and Alabama border. For nearly 60 years, Atmore has provided acute care to the Atmore community and surrounding communities. Their New Vision drug and alcohol detox program was available but is now closed. 

Acute Care With a Detox and Stabilization Program

If you were experiencing a crisis relating to withdrawal from alcohol or other addictive substances, Atmore provided an inpatient detoxification program to help you achieve stabilization. It lasted about three to five days and could get you back on track to recovery. Your detox treatment was supported under medical supervision by a team of doctors and nursing personnel. 

When you first arrived, you would be pre-screened and assessed for your level of crisis care. Following assessment, if you needed detoxification, you were then admitted into the program and would undergo supervised medical stabilization. 

Medical professionals would assist you, prior to your discharge, with planning for post-treatment care. This may have included providing you with additional treatment resources or rehabilitation referrals, depending on your needs. 

Open to Adults Struggling with Alcohol or Drug Dependency Issues

They accepted any adult with alcohol or drug dependencies at this facility. They also accepted those with a high tolerance for mood-altering chemicals, a history of withdrawal symptoms, those with serious medical conditions, and clients who were a threat to themselves or others while under the influence. 

Counseling and Psychiatric Services Available Through Outside Program Referrals 

It is important to be aware that Atmore did not provide counseling or psychiatric services in-house. However, if you required continued psychiatric care following your detoxification, they were happy to assist you with referrals to another program. 

Atmore is located in a suburban community of Alabama, along the Pine Barren Creek and surrounded by dense forests and residential homes. There are many nearby landmarks and attractions to visit during your care. Some of the featured parks include Atmore Heritage Park, Houston Avery Park, and Williams Station Day Park.
