Time for a Checkup

Dr. Luke Enderiser from AltaPointe joined Sean Sullivan to talk about something our community truly needs: First Step, a new six-bed, medically managed withdrawal unit in Mobile. This is real help for people trying to step away from alcohol or opioids safely and with dignity.

Here’s the part that stops you mid-scroll:
 Quitting alcohol “cold turkey” can actually be dangerous, even deadly, without medical support. Opioid withdrawal may not be life-threatening, but it can be so painful that it becomes the wall people can’t climb alone. First Step exists to help people through that wall with medical care, proven medications, and compassionate support.

And it doesn’t end there. After withdrawal, AltaPointe connects patients with peer specialists, therapists, outpatient or inpatient programs, and medications that reduce cravings and help sustain recovery. This is not just about stopping. It’s about starting over with support.

If this hits close to home for you or someone you care about, help is just a phone call away:

Listen to the full interview and share it. You never know who might need to hear that a safer first step is finally here. 💙
