UPDATE: Archbold Grady has just announced the launch of its new Withdrawal Management Service, a crucial inpatient program aimed at adults struggling with prolonged substance and alcohol abuse. Officially introduced on January 22, 2026, this program offers a vital lifeline for those seeking to safely detoxify from substances like alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines.
The program, based in Cairo, provides comprehensive 24-hour medical care, ensuring patients receive the support they need during this critical phase of recovery. “Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment,” stated David Griner, Program Director. “Help is a phone call away.”
The urgency of this initiative cannot be overstated. Substance abuse has profound impacts on personal and professional lives, and the withdrawal process is often fraught with challenges. Medically managed withdrawal not only aids in ridding the body of dangerous toxins but also significantly enhances safety and comfort for patients.
According to Wendy Beatty, Community Education Director, “When you’ve used drugs or alcohol habitually for a long time, your body can begin to rely on it to feel normal.” This dependency leads to withdrawal symptoms that can vary dramatically in severity.
Patients typically stay for an average of 3 to 5 days in the program, receiving constant medical supervision and support. This environment is designed to address any serious complications that may arise during withdrawal. Importantly, Archbold Grady does not just stop at detox; the dedicated team also helps patients formulate a detailed recovery plan for life after discharge.
Admission to the Withdrawal Management Service is primarily through referral by a primary care provider, although self-referrals are also accepted. Interested parties can reach the admissions team 24/7 at 229-516-3494. All patients must be willing and able to provide consent to enter the program.
The service is available for adults aged 18 and older, including pregnant and post-partum mothers, and accepts various insurances including Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans.

This new initiative marks a significant step forward in addressing substance abuse issues in the community, offering hope and support to those in need.
