JOHNS CREEK, Ga. â On April 19 Wellstar North Fulton Hospital launched their medical withdrawal program to aid those beginning withdrawal from opioids or alcohol.
The three-to-five-day program provides patients with a medically supervised withdrawal process that helps minimize symptoms and has led to more successful remission.
âIf we catch it early enough, we can prevent you from going through all those really bad withdrawal symptomsâ¦using the best practices and medical treatment we have,â said Wellstar North Fultonâs Chief Medical Officer Karim Godamunne.
According to Godamunne, the program derived from a community need assessment.
âThe thing that came out of that was, we know there s a lot of substance use disorder in our communities, but there s not enough resources to help them,â Godamunne said.
