Can you attend if you have complicated medical issues?
Those with complicated medical concerns must be medically cleared/stabilized. Once stabilized, they are welcome to attend Northway. Upon admission to care, close monitoring is required to ensure stabilization is sustained. If one’s health deteriorates beyond Residential Withdrawal Management or Mental Health and Justice Safe Beds scope, a transfer to a more intensive level of care (i.e. ED, hospital) is facilitated.
