Meridell Achievement Center

About Meridell Achievement Center

Located in Liberty Hill, Texas, is the Meridell Achievement Center. This center supports boys and girls aged 10 to 17, helping them work through negative behaviors that have led to harmful and disruptive behaviors impacting not only their own lives but the lives of their families and loved ones.

Many of the children here have engaged in at-risk behaviors including substance use. I appreciate that along with addressing topics of substance use, their programming also addresses high-risk activities that can reinforce negative behaviors. This includes mental health struggles, traumatic experiences and other complex emotions.

Care is offered in a residential treatment center, and there are gender separated living spaces. I also appreciate that the care team here recognizes, respects and supports children who identify with an identity or sexual orientation different from what was assigned to them at birth.

Behavioral and Neurobehavioral Programs

This facility specializes in working with children who have disrupted behaviors that are out of their control (neurobehavioral). They also work with children who knowingly engage in controlled disruptive behaviors.

Beyond just treating symptoms of negative behaviors, this center provides a positive and supportive environment to help children develop healthy life skills to guide their lives. The facility itself is not a clinical environment at all. Rather, it’s very inviting and provides recreational and social activities where children can begin building healthy habits.
