Meridian Crisis Stabilization Unit & Addictions Receiving Facility

About Meridian Crisis Stabilization Unit & Addictions Receiving Facility – Gainesville, Florida

Meridian Healthcare is an organization that provides mental health and substance abuse treatment to individuals in Gainesville, Florida. They’ve been providing these services to the community for over 50 years. Patients can pay for their treatment through Medicaid, Medicare or a sliding fee scale that makes your treatment affordable.

At Meridian’s Addiction Receiving Facility, you’ll be given an evaluation to determine if medically supervised detoxification is an appropriate option for your needs. The staff is able to help individuals who’ve been addicted to substances such as heroin, alcohol, pain pills and benzodiazepines. You may receive medications to reduce your discomfort and ensure that you have a safe withdrawal.

In addition to detox services, discharge planners will help you plan for your treatment after detox. They can connect you to recovery options such as a longer term substance use treatment facility or a sober living home.

Meridian Healthcare has an emergency screening staff available to help individuals who are dealing with an acute episode of substance use disorder or psychiatric illness. They’re available 24 hours a day and seven days a week to provide evaluations and crisis intervention.

You’ll receive crisis counseling to help stabilize your condition. Once you’ve been stabilized, the facility can refer you to traditional or outpatient care, or admit you to medically supervised inpatient services.

As you recover, you’ll have more time available to start living a recovery lifestyle in the community. One place you can visit in Gainesville to support your healing is the Sweetwater Wetlands Park. You can go on a ranger led tour and observe wildlife such as birds and crocodiles.
