About Meridian Behavioral Healthcare – Lake City Office

Meridian Gateway Treatment Center is a substance use disorder treatment facility that cares for adults, young adults, and adolescents in Lake City, Florida. It is part of the larger Meridian Healthcare network in North Central Florida that has 13 patient service centers throughout the region. This facility provides both inpatient and outpatient care along with comprehensive supportive services to help you get and stay sober.

Detox Care

A critical feature of Meridian’s Gateway facility that I think is very important is the medication assisted treatment (MAT) program. This allows you to safely detox and focus on sobriety while avoiding some of the withdrawal symptoms and cravings which can derail your rehabilitation journey. The detox program can be accessed while participating in outpatient treatment or as part of this facility’s inpatient program that offers round the clock care.

Graduated Outpatient Support

Everyone’s recovery journey can look different which is why I like that there are multiple outpatient options available at the Meridian Gateway facility. For example, people just beginning the process may prefer the partial hospitalization program (PHP) which still allows you to go home or to a sober living facility at night, but requires you spend your daytime hours during the week at the facility.

By contrast, traditional outpatient care is significantly more flexible, only meets a few days a week and is designed for you to build off of previously acquired skills from the residential or PHP modalities. All treatment tracks include counseling which can incorporate different techniques like CBT, 12 step, motivational enhancement and relapse prevention.

Specialty Care for Adolescents

Meridian Gateway also treats adolescents between the ages of 13 to 17 including in a residential setting. The 18 bed facility also includes academic instruction to ensure that participants don’t fall behind.

Meridian Gateway accepts private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare. They offer sliding scale fees based on demonstrated need so you can still get affordable treatment if you don’t have insurance.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Young adults often develop addiction for different reasons than older individuals. That’s why a young adult program in Florida focuses on the unique pressures, needs, and challenges faced by young adults.

Adult Program

Treatment at an adult program in Florida addresses the needs of each individual as they work toward recovery. Programs are designed for men and women ages 18 and up, and include a variety of treatment protocols to match the severity of the addiction, type of substance, and personal situation.

Alcoholism

Each alcohol rehab in Florida offers unique amenities and approaches, but most follow the same general guidelines. Treatment includes detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance. This is a proven approach to provide the greatest results for long-term recovery.

Men's Rehab

Gender-specific addiction treatment gives men who are struggling with substance use disorders a connection point to other men with similar struggles. This common ground can make a huge impact on men’s rehab in Florida.

Women's Rehab

Often, women who have a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Women’s rehab in Florida often addresses both the addiction and mental health disorder with dual diagnosis treatment.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid rehab in Florida provides the care you need to help you safely and comfortably navigate a path to recovery. Treatment addresses both emotional and physical aspects of addiction, offering individualized tracks and custom programs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida helps people in treatment to revisit painful thoughts and memories and learn new ways to cope with them. These newly-learned techniques replace substance use and help the individual maintain sobriety.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Florida focuses on relapse prevention and long-term recovery. It typically includes several counseling sessions per week as well as membership in a support group such as NA or AA. This treatment can last several weeks or several months, based on your ongoing needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you are struggling with both an addiction and a mental health disorder, treatment for dual diagnosis in Florida is necessary for successful recovery. This multidisciplinary approach treats both substance abuse and co-occurring disorders such as bipolar disorder, eating disorders, depression, or anxiety.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab in Florida allows you to receive round-the-clock supervised care while living at the facility. A combination of treatment interventions is typically offered, including individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication management.

Sober Living

Sober living in Florida provides supervised living arrangements that give you structured support during early months of recovery. In this environment, you’ll live with others in recovery, offering mutual support. You’ll adhere to house rules that typically include random drug tests, attendance at 12-step meetings, a curfew, and household chores.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in Florida can help you plan an intervention, facilitate the intervention, provide invaluable resources you and your loved one, and assist with executing a treatment plan through a qualified drug rehab in Florida. These services are often key to getting a loved one on the path to recovery.

Detox & MAT

While each drug rehab in Florida is unique, most programs begin with detox. This process can last up to seven days. During that time, addictive substances are slowly removed from your system. Medication is often used to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
