Those beds are for adults with a severe psychiatric problem, a severe addiction problem or both. Medical detox is offered in one of Northwood’s crisis stabilization units.
Medicaid and Medicare in Wheeling
Northwood accepts traditional West Virginia Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans, and it also accepts traditional Medicare and commercial insurance. If you’re on Medicaid, you can plan the cost around that public payer.
