In Gainesville, Florida, you’ll find one of Meridian Healthcare’s outpatient offices. They provide mental health and addiction treatment, including medication assisted treatment (MAT). They also have supported employment services and diversion programs for those in the justice system.
They accept multiple insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. They can also offer assistance to those who don’t have insurance. During the intake process they will help you understand your financial options.
Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Misuse
The MAT program at Meridian includes approved medication as well as individual, group, and family therapy. They use methadone and may also offer suboxone and Vivitrol.
To be eligible for the MAT program you must be 18 or older, have been addicted to opiates for at least a year, or be a pregnant woman currently using opiates. Methadone is particularly helpful for pregnant women because there’s little to no risk to the mother or infant during pregnancy and delivery.
Outpatient Counseling in Gainesville
The counseling program provides outpatient individual and group therapy for mental health and substance use disorder. They also have an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that provides several hours of treatment per week.
One unique thing about outpatient counseling at Meridian is that it can happen in the client’s home environment, not just in the clinic.
Services for Youth in the Clinic and Schools
Another aspect that stood out is that they have a lot of youth programs in the Gainesville office. There’s outpatient counseling for children, adolescents and their families at the clinic and there’s school based counseling at multiple schools in the area.
There’s even a free summer program to improve pro social behavior and psychosocial function between June and August at the Gainesville location.

Levels of Care

Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
