Meridell Achievement Center

About Meridell Achievement Center – Liberty Hill, Texas

Meridell Achievement Center is a residential treatment center in Liberty Hill, Texas. They specialize in behavioral and neurobehavioral programs for children and adolescents aged 10 to 17. They offer a range of psychiatric services for patients and their families. They treat patients with substance abuse disorders, but they don’t accept those whose main issue is chemical dependency.

They accept many major insurance providers. For military families they accept TRICARE. If you don’t have insurance coverage they also offer private payment plans. They don’t accept Texas Medicaid or CHIP.

Their focus is on inpatient psychiatric treatment. All patients participate in individual, family and group therapy sessions. Family therapy takes place over the phone. Patients also take part in group recreational activities.

Treatment programs are intensive and based on proven methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), systemic family therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), positive reinforcement behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. They use a trauma informed treatment approach to help minimize anxiety and make patients feel comfortable and secure. Treatment plans are customized for each patient based on their unique needs.

Your teen may also participate in psychoeducation to help them better understand their symptoms, treatment options and coping strategies. The goal is to prepare teens and their families for life after residential treatment ends. All patients attend school sessions at the residential campus during the week.

Many patients come from military families. If you’re on active duty or a veteran of the U.S. military your child may qualify for the Patriot Support Program. This provides specialized behavioral health and substance abuse treatment to address the unique challenges faced by military dependents.

They are accredited by the Joint Commission and have earned the Gold Seal of Approval. Not every residential treatment center qualifies, and it shows Meridell’s commitment to meeting the more stringent standards.

Gold seals are impressive, but what truly stands out is what parents say. Many express appreciation for the compassionate treatment their kids receive from skilled staff who can connect with their children when other therapists and specialists cannot.
