Meridell Achievement Center

Meridell Achievement Center is a residential treatment center in Liberty Hill, Texas. They specialize in behavioral and neurobehavioral programs for children and adolescents aged 10 to 17. They offer a range of psychiatric services for patients and their families. They treat patients with substance abuse disorders, but they don't accept those whose main issue is chemical dependency.

They accept many major insurance providers. For military families they accept TRICARE. If you don’t have insurance coverage they also offer private payment plans. They don’t accept Texas Medicaid or CHIP.

Their focus is on inpatient psychiatric treatment. All patients participate in individual, family and group therapy sessions. Family therapy takes place over the phone. Patients also take part in group recreational activities.

Treatment programs are intensive and based on proven methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), systemic family therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), positive reinforcement behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. They use a trauma informed treatment approach to help minimize anxiety and make patients feel comfortable and secure. Treatment plans are customized for each patient based on their unique needs.

Your teen may also participate in psychoeducation to help them better understand their symptoms, treatment options and coping strategies. The goal is to prepare teens and their families for life after residential treatment ends. All patients attend school sessions at the residential campus during the week.

Many patients come from military families. If you’re on active duty or a veteran of the U.S. military your child may qualify for the Patriot Support Program. This provides specialized behavioral health and substance abuse treatment to address the unique challenges faced by military dependents.

They are accredited by the Joint Commission and have earned the Gold Seal of Approval. Not every residential treatment center qualifies, and it shows Meridell’s commitment to meeting the more stringent standards.

Gold seals are impressive, but what truly stands out is what parents say. Many express appreciation for the compassionate treatment their kids receive from skilled staff who can connect with their children when other therapists and specialists cannot.

Outpatient

After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs offer high-level care for clients as an increased risk of relapse, including those in early recovery, those with a strong history of relapse, and those experiencing a crisis. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in nine to 20 hours of care weekly, with treatment modalities that combine psychotherapy and recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and animal therapy. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also common in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

Aftercare

Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

Sober Living Homes

Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.

Intervention Services

A drug intervention in Texas may be necessary if your loved one is in denial about a substance use disorder. You can partner with intervention services to plan and execute an effective intervention that educates your loved one about addiction and encourages them to get the treatment they need. Many rehab centers offer intervention specialists who can facilitate the intervention and help with a seamless transition to inpatient rehab for treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.

Medically Assisted Detox

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

12-Step

12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.
