Our Withdrawal Management program offers a physician-directed, secure, medically-monitored setting for those who need to safely withdrawal from substances and begin the process of recovery. Our gender-specific units are staffed with licensed medical professionals, including RN's, around-the-clock, and comprehensive laboratory support.

In addition to our highly-qualified medical staff, therapists and peer recovery coaches allow the program to offer comprehensive services to individuals in withdrawal management. Therapists meet with clients individually and in group settings, engaging individuals in various topics, fundamental in early recovery. 12-Step and other elective programming are also available to our clients. Clinicians will work with each individual to develop a plan for continued treatment beyond withdrawal management. Meridian Health Services' takes an inter-disciplinary approach to achieve a successful transition to the next level of care.

Withdrawal management medication protocols are tailored to each individual's specific needs. Meridian uses buprenorphine to manage withdrawal from opiates and synthetic opioids, including methadone. Withdrawal management services are also provided for individuals suffering from alcohol use disorder, benzodiazepine abuse, and other illicit substances. Medication is provided to ease withdrawal symptoms and ensure the safety of the individual during the withdrawal process.

Comfort is important, we know that the healing process will be more successful when a client feels supported and comfortable. Meridian Health Services strives to provide best-practice, evidenced-based, treatment protocols, guided by American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA).
