“Meridian is a great place! I’ve been to many treatment facilities in the past and this is the only one that truly listened to my concerns. You know you’re truly cared for at Meridian. They give you all the tools you need for your recovery, and it’s up to you to use them. It teaches you accountability and helps you appreciate recovery more. If you’re debating about going to Meridian, don’t debate and just go! You’ll be happy you did! Thank you, Meridian! You are all awesome!”

Andrew

“Meridian has been a huge part of my recovery. I have been clean for 4 years! I’m so grateful for this place and the people in it!”

Rebecca

“If you want help, are serious, and tired of the way you are living, go to Meridian! The counselors are great! If your first counselor isn’t a good fit, you can choose a new one. They will also help you find a doctor. I was so afraid, but what do you have to lose? Anyone who reads this, do not be afraid.”

David

“They really helped me get my life back. I know for a fact that without them, I would be dead. I’m very grateful for all the services they provided for me.”

Lori

“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.”
