NDC FAQ

NDC is a 24-hour community-based residential mental health crisis and substance abuse detox facility. Its mission is to offer therapeutic interventions for those in crisis situations as a viable alternative to expensive hospitalization, and to safely detoxify substance abusers so they may be placed into appropriate aftercare treatment. NDC is designed for those who need short-term (one to eight days) intensive evaluation, treatment intervention or behavioral management in order to stabilize acute or crisis situations. The program is under 24-hour medical supervision

All patients entering NDC are assessed by a registered nurse to determine the best course of treatment. They meet with a case manager who immediately goes to work developing an after-care program that provides the resources needed for the patient to re-enter community life. While in treatment, patients attend individual and group therapy while their physical and mental condition is monitored by registered nurses and psychiatrists.
