Inpatient Therapy for Substance Use
What Is Inpatient Therapy for Substance Use?
Take the first step to recovery
Substance use disorder can keep you locked in a world you no longer recognize. It can rob you of your ability to make positive decisions. It can affect the relationships you have with those you love.
No one ever plans to become addicted. But recovering from addiction requires a solid plan — and a safe place and space where you can learn to trust yourself again.
Luminis Health Pathways provides that safe harbor for you or someone you love who is anchored to addiction. With inpatient therapy, you get focused care to help you break the chain of addiction and start on your journey to recovery. It's intensive 24/7 care and medically supervised detoxification.
Inpatient therapy is your first step toward your new, brighter tomorrow.

Community Health Needs Assessment Every three years, we "take the pulse" of our community's health through what's called a Community Health Needs Assessment . Similar to checking your own pulse and other vital signs, this process allows us to see how well our systems are working and make adjustments as needed. We collect as much data as possible from a variety of sources. We use that information to determine our community's highest-priority health needs and develop an action plan to address them., Informe de beneficios para la comunidad Nuestros informes anuales sobre beneficios para la comunidad te permiten conocer mejor nuestras actividades y asociaciones comunitarias. Encontrarás varias historias sobre personas a las que ayudamos y podrás saber más sobre cómo rompemos barreras y fomentamos la salud.

We offer health education classes and connect patients to a primary care doctor or specialist near them. We even offer diabetes education classes in both English and Spanish.
When we're out in the community, we also take the opportunity to teach about vaccines, annual check-ups and cancer screenings. Our mobile clinic staff connects those who are eligible for cancer screenings to this free service in their community.
