About Meridian Behavioral Healthcare Inc

Meridian Behavioral Healthcare in Live Oak, Florida, is part of Meridian Healthcare, a regional community behavioral health provider that treats substance use disorders and mental illness for adults, adolescents, and families. Their approach treats each person with respect and lets them help direct their own care, using culturally competent, multidisciplinary, evidence-based practices 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, and telehealth. Free sign language and foreign language interpreters are available, and programs funded by federal block grants give admission priority to pregnant women and people who inject drugs.

Their opioid treatment program, led by board-certified addiction medicine physicians, pairs medication-assisted treatment with individual, group, and family therapy, and group work is central to much of their outpatient care. Residential options include the 44-bed Sid Martin Bridge House in Gainesville, which offers stays of 28 to 90 days, and an 18-bed Recovery Center in Lake City for teens ages 13 to 17. Specialized programs include MIST for pregnant and parenting women with addiction, and a unit for people with a history of IV drug use who need PICC-line antibiotics for a serious infection. They also connect clients with psychiatric care, integrated primary care, homeless recovery and housing support, supported employment, veteran services, and forensic diversion that helps people stay out of the criminal justice system.
