inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I loved working at Merced behavioral Center for 10 years as a team leader, program counselor, program clerk and weekend supervisor. The facility Administrator, Jeri, and the entire team treated me like family. The atmosphere between the lifelong staff was like home. The departments of Nursing, program, dietary, activities, maintenance, custodial, and the business office all work closely together to ensure a safe environment for the staff and residents. If you have integrity, grit, are a team player and have a passion for helping adults struggling to cope with mental illness, then you will definitely be rewarded and gain valuable experience if you choose to work there. Others will always have complaints but I believe life is what you make of it. Your attitude, approach, and work ethic will determine your success wherever you go. I will say that by advocating for myself, almost as hard as I did for the residents, allowed me to earn a wage I was very happy with. The best part of the job, for me, was making a positive impact in the lives and temporary home of the residents who lived there. Teaching them the benefits of medication for stabilization and how socially acceptable behaviors could ensure their safety in the community. I will never forget how Merced Behavioral Center and the people there touched my life for the better. God Bless them all for their service in our community.

Watch out with staff having other intentions than to help the clients to have a full recovery from drug and alcohol treatment. My wife fully took advantage of my physical illness and mental syndrome with the help of my counselor and they only kept me caught up there even longer with my wife attempts to kill me or have me hurt myself.

The staff was really kind to me but my goodness, they basically take advantage of the patients! I did not want to go there but I had no choice and after I arrived I was put in a room with another problematic person, then on the 2nd day they put me in a bigger facility where I had to share my room with a lunatic, shower in the weirdest bathroom in history, and never received ANY psychiatric counseling! You basically spend your day staring at the walls and thinking about your problems! When I received the bill I was SHOCKED cause they charged me more the $2.000 for only 3 freaking days! For that price they should have put me in a 5 star hotel if they were gonna charge me that much! I really don't know what good that place can do for people! Besides taking advantage of the fact that you tried to commit suicide only to give you another reason do die after receiving the freaking bill!!
