What are your visiting hours?
There are no visits allowed during a withdrawal management due to the medical nature of the treatment and length of the program.

How long is the program?
The length of stay depends on a client's individual needs but typically ranges from 3 to 5 days, and may be extended based on clinical recommendations and insurance coverage.

Are we allowed outside?
Yes, of course. There is ample time for recreation. We have outdoor patios for residents who smoke. Weather permitting, there is outdoor space for volleyball, horseshoes, a track for walking, and other activities.

Are we allowed to leave?
Meridian Health Services is a voluntary program. We do not keep you against your will. We do, however, encourage you to stay and complete the program. We provide the support you need to be able to stay.

Can my family contact me?
There are no visiting hours or phone privileges while receiving treatment in our withdrawal management program. Family and friends may contact medical staff to inquire how their loved one is doing. Staff will initiate one telephone call on the patient's behalf upon entry to the program.

What are your visiting hours?
Family visits occur once per week on Sundays and last for an hour and a half. During this time, a licensed therapist also facilitates a concurrent Family Lecture Series-an educational workshop designed to support and inform loved ones on topics related to addiction and recovery. Start times vary by building: visits at the Women's Unit are held from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, and visits at the Men's Unit are held from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.

How long is the program?
The length of stay depends on a client's individual needs but typically ranges from 14 to 28 days, and may be extended based on clinical recommendations and insurance coverage.

Can my family contact me?
We offer weekly visiting hours and we encourage family to visit and participate in family therapy. You will be permitted to use the phone to contact your family when you arrive for treatment, as well as when you meet with your counselor. There are also phones available on the residential units that you can use to call family or friends when you have recreation time in the evenings. If there is an emergency or your family needs to contact you urgently, have them call us at 248-599-8999.
