Meridian Crisis Stabilization Unit & Addictions Receiving Facility

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

Group Therapy

Much of Meridian Behavioral Healthcare - SW Williston's clinical work takes place using Group Therapy. Group Therapy has been shown to be very effective in providing improvement in symptoms associated with a range of mental illnesses and substance use disorders and provides the support needed to make sustainable life changes. Groups can be based on experiences (like trauma) common to group members or a particular disorder (anxiety or depression). Those who need more intensive supports to manage their illness can be referred to more intensive and specialized Intensive Outpatient Day Treatment, which meets several hours each day.

Individual Therapy

Adult Outpatient Counseling provides services to adults with behavioral or emotional problems, or a longer term mental illness, which is affecting the ability to function effectively. Counseling services are provided in a focused, time-effective manner. In general, therapeutic services target the reduction of symptoms and enhancement or development of age appropriate behavioral, interpersonal or other skills needed for effective functioning in home, social and work environments. The program includes on-site and in-clinic outpatient service components. Each component represents a different level of clinical intensity. Thus, some individuals are seen in their family or home environment, and some are seen in the clinic. Often, services such as intervention programs, psychiatric consultation and linking to an array of community resources are sought in order to meet treatment goals.

Motivational Interviewing

As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Couples Therapy

During couples therapy in Florida, your therapist will take steps to get to know you, help you identify feelings, explore the past, develop solutions, and help you learn skills to manage relationship challenges. This process will allow you to work through conflict and strengthen your relationship.

Family Therapy

Meridian’s Center for Building Healthy Families offers evaluation and evidence based treatments for childhood depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, and trauma-related behavioral problems in their clinic, at home or at school. The Center for Building Healthy Families encompasses therapeutic services delivered to children and their families. The Center provides multi-disciplinary substance abuse and mental health assessments as well as treatments to effectively provide behavioral healthcare.

Life Skills

Life skills are the core skills you need for daily success. They can include self care, stress management, daily routines, and emotion control. Rehab treatment includes the development of these skills so you have the tools you need for long term recovery.

Nutrition Therapy

Substance abuse creates biochemical imbalances in your body and brain. By implementing dietary changes, you can restore that balance. This is the goal of nutrition therapy in Florida. You'll gain an understanding of what nutrients your body needs and learn best self care practices.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy helps you recover from addiction by giving you structured activities that promote your physical health and mental well being. These activities could range from sports and fitness to creative arts and provide a constructive outlet for your emotions and stress.
