About Meridian Sid Martin Bridge House

Meridian Sid Martin Bridge House is a CARF accredited drug and rehabilitation treatment center. They’re located in Gainesville, Florida, and have an inpatient substance use treatment program for adults where they also treat co-occurring mental health disorders.

The center works to keep treatment as affordable as possible. They have contracts with Lutheran Social Services with funding through the Florida Department of Children and Families if you don’t have insurance. They also accept private insurance, disability, Medicaid and Medicare. They also offer a sliding scale for self pay clients.

The facility has 44 beds, and the treatment programs are 28 to 90 days. They offer detox so you can safely withdraw from whatever toxic substances are in your body. They center your recovery around the 12 Step model for lifelong sobriety. While in treatment, you’re required to choose a sponsor and go to 12 Step meetings.

As with the 12 Step programs, the center focuses on the behavioral, social and psychological aspects of your substance use. The programs help you focus on finding a supportive community to help you heal and develop attitudes and behaviors that favor healthy living.

While an inpatient treatment, the emphasis is on group therapy and community resources to help you successfully reintegrate outside of the hospital environment. You’ll learn about addiction and relapse prevention.

After you leave the outpatient program, they offer outpatient services in other Gainesville locations. You can attend the outpatient programs while transitioning back to your daily life.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.

inpatient iconInpatient

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve frequent and robust therapeutic sessions for clients requiring high-level care. Clients may engage in a combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery skills training, and holistic therapies for a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient care, and those at an elevated relapse risk.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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

Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

It's a place designed to help individuals who are struggling with addiction. It's a court approved residential drug treatment program that is anywhere from 28-90 days. There are grants to help the uninsured, so there are no financial barriers keeping you from getting better. They also work with covering the costs of MAT while in treatment. They feed you well and give you plenty of snacks. There isn't enough properly trained staff at the moment, so things are really inconsistent. I'm grateful for what this place has been for me. If you want to get better, it can work for you too.JESUS LOVES YOU!

Absolutely the worst place, if I could give this place 0 stars I would. Literally bottom of the barrel health care provided. I have tried to contact this place several times to help my mother get her appointments set up and I literally am on the phone waiting to talk to someone for an 1+. Do not waste your time because they certainly do not mind wasting yours.The lady at the front desk said to call and set up our appointment because her system might not be working we've have been trying for weeks now to get the appointment set up and when we finally get a hold of someone they have no idea what they are doing!

Came here for an emotional crisis. A majority of the staff are extremely cruel and prey on and bully the mentally ill for their appearances. Good luck getting them to look up from scrolling on their smartphones. Kind of hard to tell who are the employees vs who the patients are since alot of them are so belligerent towards the patients. They treat you like cattle and degrade you even though you come for help. Troy stood out as the worst to me. Ruth (the intake lady) and Thomas were an absolute joy and seemed to be the only employees I experienced there that cared and treated people like human beings

I actually just go here with my wife to feed the Muscovy ducks by the entrance of the place and relax...the groundskeepers keeps the parking lot clean though considering there's a family of ducks living in that pond. I do wish they'd fill the pond with more water though since the water level is getting pretty low with this dry weather lately. Thanks for letting them stay there. We love those silly ducks.

Response from the owner3 years ago
We love the ducks as well! We are glad that you are enjoying our surroundings. Our facilities crew and staff take pride in our campus.

We are no longer going to be together because of this incident.
