About Merit Health Central
Merit Health Central, which is located in Jackson, Mississippi, offers community addiction treatment services and much more. Through their Chemical Dependency Unit, they can help you if you are over 18 and dealing with substance misuse disorders.
They also offer behavioral health services and mental health treatment. I found that they offer medical detoxification in their Chemical Dependency Unit, and this is a five to seven day process that uses medication to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.
For this kind of care and their addiction treatment, they offer short-term inpatient care that gives you 24/7 monitoring in a secure environment while you focus on getting stabilized and recovering. They also treat co-occurring conditions involving both mental health and addiction.
Recovery in High Speed
Some of their other unique services include emergency services, which provide emergency care with an average ER wait time of approximately four minutes, which I found to be pretty impressive.
They also offer heart care for cardiovascular health and maternity care if you're an expectant mother, including prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. Their diagnostic imaging services include X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, and their rehabilitation services can help you with physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
