WHAT IT IS

In a medical emergency, the last thing you should worry about is whether your care will set back your recovery. Rise emergency care is built around the realities of sobriety, with physicians who understand addiction history and treatment options that don’t rely on narcotics by default.

Rather than reaching for opioids as a first-line response, our emergency team uses targeted, non-addictive approaches whenever clinically appropriate, with the same urgency and standard of care you’d expect from any ER.

WHY IT MATTERS

Effective withdrawal management matters because it helps patients move through one of the most vulnerable stages of recovery with medical oversight, comfort, and dignity. When symptoms are managed safely and compassionately, patients are more likely to stabilize, remain engaged in care, and take the next step toward long-term recovery rather than returning to substance use for relief.

WHEN IT IS USED

Emergency care is for situations that need immediate medical attention. Here’s when to head our way.

ACUTE MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
For chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe injury, or other situations that require immediate intervention.
RECOVERY-SAFE URGENT CARE
For urgent medical needs where you want a team that understands recovery and avoids narcotics by default.
WITHDRAWAL CRISIS
For severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizure risk, dehydration, or dangerous vital sign changes.
OVERDOSE OR NEAR-OVERDOSE
For immediate stabilization after an overdose, with a path forward into recovery-focused care.

The Stabilization Process

A medical stabilization process for drugs and alcohol is a medically supervised period of care that helps a patient safely manage withdrawal symptoms while their body clears substances. The goal is to keep the patient safe and comfortable, reduce medical risks, and prepare them for the next step in recovery.
