About Meriter Hospital – Behavioral Health – Madison
Meriter Hospital – Behavioral Health is a mental and behavioral health care facility for children and adolescents in Madison, Wisconsin. Here you’ll find services to help address different psychiatric illnesses including co-occurring disorders like substance abuse. They provide inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, although their outpatient program isn’t set up to support addiction recovery. They accept self pay and private insurance.
All of their treatment plans are individualized based on the client’s exact needs. Some of the available services include individual, family, and group counseling, crisis intervention, educational courses, life skills training and social skills workshops. Their treatments combine holistic therapies like exercise and movement with evidence based methods including dialectical behavioral therapy.
Their inpatient unit is designed to serve clients between the ages of six and 18 who are experiencing acute behavioral health challenges. The secure facility can take up to 30 people at a time, and the rooms are private. Something I like about this unit is that they’ve gone to great lengths to make sure it doesn’t feel too cold or impersonal. There’s an onsite yoga studio, a calming room, a sensory station and even an outdoor walking track. You can participate in many different recreational activities during your stay. You’ll also complete your schoolwork in their classroom.
