About Meriter NewStart
Meriter NewStart offers intensive outpatient services and ongoing care using evidence-based and holistic treatment methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and group therapy sessions led by their experienced and professional staff. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides addiction education, focusing on healthy coping mechanisms and life skill training that can contribute to successful long-term recovery. Patients partaking in this program are introduced to the 12-Step treatment approach, healthy healing methods, support groups, and continuing care for relapse prevention. NewStart’s IOP meets in a therapeutic group setting 5 days a week, 3 hours per day. Once individuals are ready to step down to a lower level of care, their outpatient program provides individualized and 1-on-1 care with physicians, certified counselors, and addiction treatment specialists on a monthly basis. The ongoing individual care may involve medication-assisted treatment along with medication management for any co-occurring or mental health disorders. Furthermore, Meriter NewStart provides outside therapy facilitation, resources connecting patients to their recovery communities, and other on-going support throughout the recovery process.
