Meridian Behavioral Healthcare

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Palatka is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Palatka offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They do video appointments, which matters if Palatka is a drive for you.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Palatka.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Palatka it may be mixed.

It is the stretch after discharge, and it tends to decide whether the program holds. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Treatment that combines medication with counseling holds people in care longer than either on its own. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. Who you authorize, and what they are authorized to hear, are two separate choices on the same form. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.
