Treatment
Alcoholism
When a person has alcohol use disorder (AUD), also referred to as alcoholism or alcohol addiction, they experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking. This physical dependence results from overuse of alcohol, which may be used as a coping mechanism or escape. Individuals who have AUD can overcome the alcohol addiction through alcohol rehab in Florida. This treatment process involves essential therapy and supports to help the individual achieve and maintain recovery.
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.
Dual Diagnosis
In Florida, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment treats mental health and substance use disorders concurrently to enhance successful recovery outcomes and improve overall health. Specialized rehab programs include medical detox, outpatient, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Using evidence-based therapies, like dialectical behavioral therapy or medication-assisted treatment, clinicians successfully treat dual-diagnosis addiction and mental health conditions. Other activities include group therapy and skills training, to equip you with the skills required to achieve and sustain your recovery.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Mental health and substance abuse treatment in Florida is offered by dual-diagnosis facilities that can provide comprehensive care tailored to your needs. By integrating mental health, medical care, and therapeutic care, medical experts can effectively treat both co-occurring mental health conditions, stabilizing your mental health, and helping you learn vital skills to achieve long-term recovery.
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.

Levels of Care
Medically Assisted Detox
The first step of the recovery process involves the removal of all drugs and alcohol from your system while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, you are closely monitored by medical staff who can provide medications, if necessary, to help alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox is usually followed by a period of inpatient addiction treatment.
Outpatient
Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients’ progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.
Clinical Services
Group Therapy
Much of Meridian Behavioral Healthcare - Gainesville'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.
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.
