Meridian Health Services

Meridian Health Services offers effective, therapy-based addiction treatment in a comfortable, private environment so you can begin the healing process from day one. Your treatment is designed around you.

We provide a safe, medically-supervised environment that respects your privacy and supports your physical and emotional health. Treatment and living spaces are gender specific. Counselors are always available.

We know the pain of addiction. We know the toll it takes on you and your family. And we know what it takes to heal. Our programs are not one-size-fits-all. We provide different options to fit your personal healing style.

Meridian is an exceptional facility. From the complete ambiance of the building to the care that the staff administers to the residents — a cut above the rest.

I would absolutely recommend Meridian to anyone. The staff is great. The counselors and meetings are remarkable. The atmosphere puts you at ease and allows you to heal.

Meridian focused on CBT through treatment, which I found to be very helpful. It wasn’t just the 12 steps. I know I need all the help I can get in every aspect of recovery. I felt very comfortable with the staff and clients. I was able to open up in groups and be honest and open-minded about my addiction. Therefore, I was able to receive help, grow, and finally move forward in my life and recovery.

I would recommend Meridian because while I was here, I received so much support from staff and other clients. Everyone here during my stay helped each other and it seemed we almost became a family. The most helpful thing about my treatment here were my 1 on 1 sessions with Erin B. She really had a way of helping me open up, which I’ve never been able to do before. Everything was very good, especially the extra groups like grief, trauma, and co-occurring.

Meridian is a clean environment with staff that is there for the right reasons. The group meetings, coping skills and tools I learned were most helpful. All the information I obtained will help me in my recovery.

When I came into treatment, I was in terrible shape. My drug addiction had left me with no hope. It was give up, or get help. I got help from Meridian. With the help of my higher power and the program here that I immersed myself into, I slowly regained my senses and was restored to sanity. In my addiction, I was dying a slow death over the last 40 years. By accepting I was powerless over drugs and alcohol and realizing how unmanageable my life was, I began to get better. Thank you, Meridian, for helping me regain my footing in life.

I would recommend this program to anyone who has a drug or alcohol problem. The comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the material presented made for a well-balanced treatment program. I benefitted from this and so would others.

Before I came into Meridian, I felt so helpless and lonely. Since I have been at Meridian, I now feel I have the tools to go back to everyday life and be successful without using. I now feel very confident and I finally have peace of mind, which I haven’t in a long time. For the first time in a long time, I feel having my life sober is more important than a miserable life of using.

This program has given me the tools to succeed in life, to handle my emotions, feelings, and thoughts without turning to drugs, the courage to talk about what’s going on with myself instead of isolating, the wisdom to know that I had a program and addiction is a serious disease. I can now accept my past and have hope for my future. Thank you Meridian & staff!

I’ve been to a few programs, but this one actually got to my core issue, which made it easier to help understand why I keep relapsing.

I have reached a point in my life where I don’t feel I have another chance to come back and detox again. Today, I’m sober and it’s all due to the care I received at Meridian. Today, I experience strength and hope. I’m more spiritual, and I pray and meditate daily. I have accepted my disease and will take steps to do the right thing. I’m going to attend AA and get a sponsor. I’m going to get one-on-one outpatient counseling. After what I’ve learned at Meridian, I feel I have a good foothold and I’m ready to take on a new life on life’s terms, sober and free!

At first, I did not want to come here to Meridian because I was at two treatment centers in 2 months. I didn’t believe in myself. I see this now through Meridian. Everyday gets better. This program is like none other. There were 13-14 clients here, so I had a lot of one-on-one time. I will be going to a ¾ house and I requested an extra 2 weeks here. I promise that Meridian will change your life.

I have been an alcoholic & drug addict for twenty years, been to rehab multiple times, been in & out of AA and NA. I have overcome cancer, heroin, coke & crack, but I have always come back to alcohol. This last year, my drinking has caused me severe pancreatitis. I have been hospitalized 6 times. I called and setup an appointment to get into rehab. I am happy to be here, this is exactly where I need to be. Being clean and sober is the best thing that has happened to me.
