About Meridian Behavioral Healthcare Inc

Meridian Behavioral Healthcare in Cross City, Florida, is part of Meridian Healthcare, a community behavioral health organization that treats substance use disorders and mental illness for adults, adolescents, and families. They emphasize respect and client-directed care, using a culturally competent, multidisciplinary team and evidence-based practices delivered in the least restrictive setting possible. Across their network, care ranges from crisis services for acute psychiatric or substance use episodes to 24-hour residential treatment, outpatient counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and telehealth by video. Their access center helps callers find the right program and navigate financial assistance, benefits, and medication support, with free sign language and foreign language interpreters.

Meridian’s residential options include the 44-bed Sid Martin Bridge House in Gainesville, which offers stays of 28 to 90 days, and an 18-bed facility in Lake City for teens ages 13 to 17. They also run MIST, a program built around pregnant and parenting women with addiction, plus a specialized unit for people with a history of IV drug use who need antibiotic treatment through a PICC line. On the outpatient side, much of the clinical work happens in group therapy, alongside individual counseling, psychiatric care, integrated primary care, and an opioid treatment program led by board-certified addiction medicine physicians that pairs medication with individual, group, and family therapy. Additional supports such as homeless recovery services, supported employment, and a forensic diversion team help people stabilize and stay out of the criminal justice system.
