In a bid to keep up with demand, Mount St. Mary’s Hospital in Lewiston is working to add another two dozen addiction treatment beds.
The hospital has applied to the state Department of Health to convert 24 medical/surgical beds to chemical dependence/rehabilitation beds in its Clearview program at the Lewiston campus, a $1.2 million project.
The 175-bed hospital, part of Catholic Health, has already expanded the inpatient rehab program twice since 2017: The most recent expansion took place in summer of 2018. The project, which requires an administrative review, would grow the chemical dependency program from 45 to 69 beds and encompass the entire third and fourth floors of the hospital.
