RMC’s Role

At Regional Medical Center, our Self Recovery Detox Program provides a safe, supportive environment for individuals beginning their recovery journey with a medical detox. Our team is here to stabilize, guide, and connect patients with ongoing treatment and community resources.

How You Can Support Recovery

Recovery support is a crucial step in a path of healing. Find some resources below and become an advocate and a voice for those you care about today.

• Encourage without judgment. Remind others that recovery is possible and worth it.

• Celebrate progress. Every step forward—big or small—is an achievement.

• Offer connection. Recovery is stronger with community support and compassion.

Resources for Help

• RMC Inpatient Medical Detox Program: 256-235-8881

• Local support groups: AA, NA, Celebrate Recovery, and other community programs

• SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357) – 24/7, confidential support

• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – for anyone in crisis or emotional distress

Breaking the Stigma

Addiction is not a moral failing—it is a treatable medical condition. Talking about recovery opens the door to hope and healing and those who seek help or assist those needing change is a sign of courage.

Recovery is real, possible, and worth it. Reach out to someone—you may be the encouragement they need today. Share this message to spread awareness and hope.

Adayshia J.; 2025 Bee Recipient #3

Congratulations to our Q3 2025 BEE Winner, Adayshia J!

Adayshia has worked with RMC for almost 2 years now as a FlexTech, a very unique position which has no “home” unit. She floats throughout the organization’s medical and psychiatric units, and also works within our Emergency Department.

Adaysia was working one night in the ER, and there was an influx of critical care patients, including multiple intubations. As she was bedside with one of these patients, a STEMI (severe heart attack), Adaysia was unable to obtain a blood pressure reading as the cuff would not cycle properly. 

Knowing the patient’s condition and the volatility, instead of easily dismissing this lack of a blood pressure reading, Adaysia decided to act immediately and bring in nursing staff to intervene while continuing her attempts to provide that critical piece of information to the nurses.

The nursing staff and Chris McGowan, Director of Emergency Services, applaud Adaysia’s efforts, as she escalated something that could be easily overlooked – not only recognizing the change in condition, but made sure it was addressed – while a very active ER shift was occurring all around.

Adaysia wanted to make sure everyone knew how much she enjoys her work and her patients here at Regional Medical Center – but specifically Ms. Tammy, who she credits as a “wonderful leader and excellent communicator who takes her job seriously and with the utmost compassion.” 

The BEE (Bee-ing Excellent Everyday) Award celebrates individuals who play a vital part in patient care, including transporters, observation staff, unit secretaries, housekeepers, patient care technicians, food and nutrition services, and other essential team members.
