Gallus Detox and Recovery Services
Gallus Detox and Recovery Services is a physician-founded medical detoxification and addiction-recovery company that treats withdrawal from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and other drugs in upscale, hotel-like inpatient suites staffed 24/7. Built on the proprietary 'Gallus Method' developed by ER physician Dr. Patrick Gallus in 2011, the company uses IV and injectable medications and cardiac telemetry to make detox safer and more comfortable, and reports that roughly 87% of its patients step directly into aftercare - far above the industry norm. Now led by Chairman and CEO Warren Olsen after a 2019 acquisition by SCB Global Healthcare, Gallus operates inpatient centers in Colorado, Arizona and Texas plus outpatient (IOP) services.
