Find Your Hope

Substance Abuse & Addiction Treatment Services

Feelings of heartache and worry come with drug or alcohol abuse — whether you’ve faced it yourself or watched someone you love struggle. Addiction may seem like an impossible mountain to climb, but with the right support, recovery is possible.

This isn’t a journey you need to take alone; at Meridian, we’re here to walk beside you, offering compassion, understanding, and the resources you need.

Alcohol Abuse

For over 50 years, Meridian HealthCare has helped people of all ages overcome challenges with alcohol.

Alcohol use disorder is more than a physical struggle; it connects with your emotional and mental health, too. That’s why our approach to alcohol addiction treatment addresses the whole person, which can include mental health treatment, withdrawal management, counseling, and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous.

Prescription Drug Abuse

Prescription drug misuse is a growing concern, with many people struggling with highly addictive prescriptions like anti-anxiety medications, antidepressants, sedatives, stimulants, and painkillers like Vicodin and Oxycodone.

Meridian HealthCare provides the support and guidance you need to overcome these challenges. Our comprehensive treatment programs offer a range of services, from educational sessions to residential treatment, all designed to help you or your loved one overcome addiction.

Drug Addiction

Meridian HealthCare is a trusted partner in helping people of all ages overcome drug addiction and substance use disorders from substances like opioids, methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and more.

Addiction isn’t just about physical dependence — it deeply impacts emotional and mental health, too. That’s why our comprehensive approach includes detox, residential inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, counseling, and support groups like Narcotics Anonymous to help you find lasting recovery.

Gambling Addiction

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling, is a behavioral health disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to continue gambling despite harmful consequences.

It can severely impact your personal, financial, and social life, leading to mounting debt, strained relationships, and emotional distress. At Meridian HealthCare, we offer specialized treatment programs to address gambling addiction by incorporating counseling, behavioral therapy, and support groups.

2. Complete an assessment with one of our licensed counselors.

3. Connect with a counselor to discuss your situation and address any concerns you might have about treatment.

4. Create an individualized treatment plan that can work for you.

FAQ: Addiction & Substance Abuse Treatment

How quickly does treatment begin after my assessment?

The time between your assessment and admission varies based on the program and availability. For those in crisis, treatment may begin immediately. For outpatient program individuals, we strive to begin treatment within one week following the assessment.

How do I pay for the assessment and treatment?

Meridian HealthCare accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-pay (which is based on a sliding fee scale). We also offer assistance in obtaining Medicaid. There is a limited amount of funds available for residents without a payer source, based on your location and program assignment. The goal is to help you obtain the most appropriate, comprehensive care in the most cost-effective manner. If you have questions about affording treatment services, please contact our assessment department at 330-797-0070.

Will I have to do a drug screen?

You will have to provide a drug screen if you are seeking treatment for substance use concerns. Our lab staff provides a comfortable environment for the screen that will help put your concerns/discomfort at ease.

What Do Current and Recovering Patients Have to Say About Meridian?

I am so grateful for Meridian. I came in at 80 pounds and have now been clean for years. The doctor listened to how I felt and praised me for my years of recovery and all my work to stay clean (completing all counseling groups and meetings). Thank you for giving me my life back when I thought it was over for me.
