About Meridian Health Services – New Castle
Meridian Health Services provides physical health, mental health, and social health services for clients of all ages. They offer a long list of programs designed to help clients feel their best, including medical detox services, intensive outpatient treatment, and aftercare for adults in addiction recovery. They accept self payment, private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and the Healthy Indiana Plan. Some clients qualify for a sliding fee discount.
Something interesting about this facility is that they’re known for providing “whole person health.” If you’re trying to overcome an addiction, they won’t just treat your obvious symptoms. They’ll work with you to understand why you feel drawn to drink or use drugs, what kinds of things trigger that behavior, and how you can cope in a healthier way. You’ll attend counseling services for nine hours a week for as long as you need to. Then, you’ll move to a 12 week relapse prevention program that will show you how to keep up your progress.
Another neat thing about this program is that they offer a few specialized programs for specific populations. For example, if you need to detox before entering treatment, you can spend three to five days at their Addictions and Recovery Center. If you’re pregnant or you have a newborn and you’re struggling with substance abuse, they have a Maternal Treatment Program for you. They also offer transitional housing for adults who’ve completed primary treatment but still need a little more support as they reintegrate into society.
One past client remarked that the staff members at this location are incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. Another mentioned that the physicians were helpful without being condescending, which they appreciated.
