Meridian Behavioral Healthcare Starke

About Meridian Behavioral Healthcare Starke

At Meridian Behavioral Healthcare in Starke, Florida, it is our goal to meet each person and their family’s recovery needs holistically and individually. The facility combines mental health services with evidence based addiction treatment. Meridian works with high risk populations including pregnant women and people with a history of IV drug use. They provide full service care that includes medical, psychological and emotional support.

Specialized Care For Each Patient

Meridian’s unique substance abuse PICC program (SAPP) offers a new way of treating people with severe infections resulting from their intravenous drug use. This program is a better option than hospitalization, which involves giving antibiotics through a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line, so that patients can stay at the clinic and recover while also being treated for their addiction.

Further, forensic intervention services guarantee that clients who are involved with the law undergo the right mental health assessments and treatment. This integration of legal and medical support allows clients to rehabilitate and address both substance use and legal issues in a supportive and structured environment.

Tools for Long Term Recovery

At Meridian, education is the key to recovery. Clients and their families are trained on the dangers of fentanyl, how to prevent an overdose, and how to use Narcan to reverse an opioid overdose. These life saving tools help both patients and patients’ families and friends to remain alert and to act preventively for long term recovery.

Moreover, Meridian explains in detail about inpatient and outpatient treatment. For those who are concerned with the cost, Meridian’s focus on insurance support helps families to understand and use their insurance to get the help they need, without adding extra cost.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
Mental health concerns and substance use are often linked, which is known as a dual diagnosis. The right rehab in Florida can help you break free. A dual diagnosis program uses evidence-based approaches to help you overcome both your mental health concerns and substance use. This may include mental health medication, counseling, and more.
Drug Rehab
Drug rehab in Florida helps clients find the motivation to make a change and gives them the tools to achieve long-term sobriety. Drug rehab may include detox, inpatient treatment, and/or outpatient care. You’ll learn the roots of addiction and learn how to build a substance-free life.

Levels of Care

1
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient treatment in Florida allows clients to live full-time in the facility while getting the care they need. Some of the elements of inpatient treatment include individual and group counseling, skill-building, relapse prevention, and help with essentials like employment and housing.
2
Outpatient Rehab
If you want to attend school or work during rehab, consider outpatient treatment in Florida. You’ll live independently except when you’re attending rehab.
