There are many alcohol and drug addiction recovery resources in the Meridian, Idaho area. Substance abuse treatment is available to help anyone who needs it. But that is not the best solution for everyone. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that so much help is available to them. They often either attempt to quit on their own, or they continue to use. In their eyes, they have no other options. But we want people to know that this is not true at all.
Addiction has many forms. It stems from all sorts of substances, both legal and illegal. Sometimes addiction is obvious and destructive, and sometimes it is quiet and hidden, but it is always harmful to everyone involved. Some of the substances that can serve as the catalyst for addiction include:
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), over 2 million Americans abused or were dependent on prescription opioids like Oxycontin and Vicodin in 2014. Over 14,000 overdoses in 2014 alone are attributed to prescription drug abuse.
There are so many benefits to attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. This is one of the only places where alcoholics can come together and talk about their issues. It helps to have peer support.
AA meetings occur on a weekly basis. There is no charge for attending.
Alcoholics who wish to recover will find a lot of support through AA meetings in the Meridian area. There are several to choose from.

Narcotics Anonymous was founded because drug addicts wanted to have a place to go to recover. The meetings are very helpful, and they introduce people to others who all have the same goals.
Like AA, NA meetings are free of charge. There are no membership fees, and the meetings are held weekly.
There are several Meridian area NA meetings happening throughout the week. The following is a list of them within a 50-mile radius.

Al-Anon is an organization that was founded as a way to help the families of alcoholics and addicts. People can attend weekly support group meetings and get connected with others who share similar circumstances.
Alateen is a part of Al-Anon, but it is only for young people. It offers teenagers and young adults a place to meet others and find encouragement and support.
Families with loved ones battling addictions should seriously consider attending Meridian area Al-Anon meetings. The following is a list of them in the community.

Young people are always welcome to attend an Al-Anon meeting. Also, there are regularly scheduled online Alateen chat meetings that teenagers are welcome to attend.
Don't let a busy schedule or an aversion to public groups stand in the way of getting support.
NA has a website that is a great resource for information and discussion boards for people to gather at non-meeting times.
You can also find AA groups online. There are a number of ways to get support from these groups, from forums to chat rooms to phone groups. Whatever you're comfortable with, there are people ready to help.
Even though AA and NA meetings can be helpful, they are not the best approach for everyone. Some people really need the professional support that they can only get when attending some type of addiction treatment program. For these individuals, that is the best place to start their recovery journeys.
There are eight addiction treatment programs located within 5 miles of Meridian, according to the SAMHSA treatment locator tool. Still, that does not mean that people are limited to only those choices. There are close to 100 rehab facilities located within a 50-mile radius of the city.
Obviously, there are plenty of options available. But that does not mean that every program offers the best care. It is important to choose a facility that is accredited through The Joint Commission and that offers the type of care that the person needs.
Treating an addiction should always include tailoring the program to the person’s needs. That also means choosing the right type of program. There are several options for drug and alcohol rehab treatment centers, and they include:
Many people will have a preference, but most will be unsure about what type of program might work best for them. This can be partially be determined through the addiction assessment, and with the help of the facility’s medical team.
At Ashwood Recovery, we understand the varying needs of our clients. That is why we have strived to create a program that will provide them with the targeted treatment they need.
We offer an outpatient program that includes traditional OP, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). We always take the time to get to know our clients so we can determine the best course of action for them to take.
In addition, we understand the importance of treating co-occurring disorders alongside the addiction. Clients with anxiety, depression or another co-occurring mental health issue need dual diagnosis treatment during recovery. Otherwise, they are very likely to relapse.
While outpatient rehab can work for some people, there are those who need an inpatient treatment program. This is especially true for those who are new to recovery.
Our closest inpatient program is Northpoint Recovery in Boise. It offers the highest level of care available, and the patients all receive individualized treatment plans to help them reach their goals.
For patients in need of inpatient drug rehab, Northpoint Recovery has one of the best programs in the Boise area. It is a 28-day program that includes detox services if they are needed. After detoxing (if necessary), patients are able to move on to rehab and receive therapy.
Going to alcohol rehab is very important for alcoholics who want to recover. At Northpoint Recovery, their 28-day program will address detox, which is essential to help with withdrawal and avoid complications. Afterwards, therapy is provided during rehab to help with the root issues that led to the alcohol addiction.
Don't let concerns about health insurance stand in the way of you getting help. If you need help paying for treatment, go to https://www.healthcare.gov/ and find out how you can get assistance.
If you're not sure what coverage you'll get from your insurance, check out SAMHSA.gov. Here you can find information about the ACA and links with further information.
Health insurance companies are mandated to provide benefits to help cover the cost of drug and alcohol rehab by law. This is great news for anyone who has been concerned about the costs associated with getting addiction recovery help.
Ashwood Recovery is in network with many of the most popular health insurance companies in Idaho. That includes Blue Cross of Idaho. Our in network status helps to keep costs low for our clients so they can focus on getting treatment.
At Ashwood Recovery, we are determined to offer hope to those who are battling addictions. We offer an excellent intensive outpatient program for those who are interested in professional drug and alcohol rehab. We are located only 15 minutes from Meridian, which makes utilizing our services very convenient.
It is so difficult to manage your life when you have an addiction. We want you to know that you do not have to continue to live this way. We are here to help you in any way that we can.
Can we answer any of your other questions about alcohol and drug addiction recovery resources in the Meridian area? If so, please contact us.
Our admissions coordinators are here to help you get started with treatment the right way. They'll verify your health insurance, help set up travel arrangements, and make sure your transition into treatment is smooth and hassle-free.
