God love you for what you came up with, because you're saving an awful lot of lives and you're putting people back on path in their life.
Imagine needing a PICC line for a severe infection while battling addiction. Until recently, patients in this situation were often stuck in hospitals or nursing homes, unable to access the substance use treatment they desperately needed. Enter Dr. Dean Mayer, the Medical Director at Riverton Hospital, who saw an opportunity to change this. In this episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', Dr. Mayer shares his groundbreaking method that integrates medical care with addiction treatment.
By allowing patients to continue their antibiotic therapy through a PICC line while receiving substance use treatment, Dr. Mayer has bridged a critical gap in healthcare. This approach not only addresses the physical health needs but also supports the recovery journey, providing a holistic solution for those struggling with addiction. The success of this program at Riverton Medical Center is a testament to the power of innovative thinking in healthcare. Tune in to hear more about how Dr.
Mayer's life-saving idea is making a difference.
