About MERIT Resource Services Yakima
MERIT Resource Services Yakima in Yakima, Washington, provides confidential and personalized treatment for adults dealing with substance misuse and co-occurring disorders. They offer various treatment options for folks with mild, moderate and severe substance misuse. These include outpatient, intensive outpatient and telehealth programs. Telehealth substance use therapy can be super convenient and cost efficient. Specialized programs for adolescents that include family therapy groups may be available. Family therapy helps strengthen your support network by rebuilding trust, mending relationships and improving communication with loved ones. The facility offers services in English and Spanish to meet diverse needs.
They also offer programs for folks involved with the criminal justice system. These include alcohol and drug information school and deferred prosecution evaluation. The latter helps you figure out if a jail diversion program is the right approach to address your legal issues.
I especially like that they accept Medicaid and various insurance providers as it makes paying for services easy. Folks without insurance can take advantage of their sliding fee scale. This lets you pay for services based on your income.
Their outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment is coordinated by friendly and knowledgeable clinical professionals. These programs normally involve assessment, personalized treatment planning and therapeutic interventions. Most services are offered through group therapy or individual sessions. Either way, the facility uses various clinically proven models like moral reconation and 12 Step facilitation to support recovery. These models focus on building accountability and encouraging personal growth. They help you develop better decision making skills and stay committed to recovery through peer support and self reflection.
The clinical model used may depend on your unique condition. They use the matrix models in intensive outpatient treatment for folks dealing with stimulants like cocaine. The matrix model helps you overcome stimulant use by combining therapy, education and relapse prevention strategies. They may even include spiritual and cultural practices in your recovery through White Bison’s ‘Wellbriety Movement’ such as the medicine wheel. The facility also offers specialized relapse prevention programs, addiction education and family matrix therapy.
They’re one of the few facilities in Washington that supports walk-in assessment. They even provide a 24/7 recovery helpline. This anonymous and confidential helpline provides crisis intervention and referral services for folks having substance use disorder crises. They can connect you with local resources for substance use and mental health treatment, problem gambling and other community services. They also offer continuing care or aftercare support. MERIT Resource Services is accredited by CARF which may indicate a commitment to quality care.
