This hospital has very good accomidations and really beneficial programs for a variety of medical situations, including addiction related cases. One example is patients suffering from an infected heart valve that is directly related to an infection known as endocarditis. These patients are usually sick and suffering as a direct result from intravenous recreational narcotic drug use. Patients are then enrolled in a special care program where visitor's are closely monitored to make sure the patient does not have visitors try to bring and sneak in illegal narcotic drugs, so the patient can focus on sobriety and healing. For approximately 6 months the patient is administered strong antibiotics, by I.V. and orally until the deadly infection subsides and the patients then ready for the next phase of the program. The next phase is the surgery to replace the damaged heart valve. After the surgery and recovery rehabilitation, the patient recieves a discharge plan and is suggested to start a vigorous recovery program completely focusing on sobriety. In closing, I really think Sarasota Memorial Hospital is quite exceptional in there programs that help people reintegrate back to productive members of society and recieving a healthy start at a normal life again.
