About Meriter Hospital
Meriter Hospital, part of UnityPoint Health in Madison, Wisconsin is a hospital based provider offering addiction treatment and behavioral health services for adults through its NewStart program.
I noted that Meriter emphasizes confidential evidence based and harm reduction care for adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Walk-in Clinic and Medication Assisted Treatment
I found that NewStart does not provide medical detox but offers outpatient pathways including medication assisted treatment, psychiatry, and counseling.
Clients in the Intensive Outpatient Program attend four sessions per week with three hours per session and morning and evening options across an eight week structure.
Continuing care groups and therapy use approaches such as CBT and DBT, ACT and trauma informed care, motivational interviewing and internal family systems, and solution focused therapy.
