Meridian Behavioral Health - Meadow Creek

M.C. programming as well as their staff is absolutely stellar. This is true of the director; Patty, housekeeping; Pam and Kim, counselors; Nicole, Sammi and Kirsten, MHP’s; Catherine and Shannon, Psychiatrist; “Gus”, Nursing/TMAs; Amy, Melissa,”Jo&Jo”, Dana , and Nicole, Recovery Staff; Colleen, John and Jesse, all the way to kitchen staff; Sue and Celine. The amount of time we have to invest in changing our lives is very short. It is a small price when you think of the time wasted to active addiction. There are up to 50 women at M.C. at any given time. Women all at different points in their lives and journey, women who may need help just as badly as the next person. It for each woman to make the choice to truly want recovery in her own life and journey that will make the difference between a “bad” or “good” experience at M.C. We always have choices. The best decision I have made in over 5 years was to spend 5 weeks giving my full attention and trust to the process M.C. offered me. Thank you for taking the time to read these words. If you’re hurting, my advice is to give yourself a break and don’t wait until tomorrow to do something different today. If I can anyone can. Fr Fr. Good Luck & Love

I feel that being with family or having all access to contact family while being in a rehab should be priority especially children. There should be no limit in phone calls to call n at least hear a loved ones voice when feeling abandoned or alone starting to feel lost. Being able to have family talk or see you is the best treatment to feel loved and feel someone cares. weakness is not being understanding.

I went to Meridean in pine city a few months ago and it was seriously the worst experience of my live. Shortly before I started treatment I found out I was pregnant. The staff was beyond horrible and it was obviously they could have cared less about their patients. The girls there was beyond horrible as well... I complained to numerous staff members including my counselor about the girls who were making my life miserable. At treatment I should feel safe and I did not. And it didn\'t help that staff did nothing to help me out. I ended up leaving after 14 days because of this. Staff was extremely rude to not only me but my family as well... The groups were stupid and pointless as we learned about different topics each day such as about STDS and other health problems. I got nothing out of these groups as the only group that was related to addiction was reading out of the \"big book\". I felt like I wasted 2 weeks of my life and a ton of $ to get treated like complete crud and to be stressed out. I also had no treatment plan... I myself had to be the one to taper myself, Meridean did nothing to help with this. I highly suggest that if you are looking to go into a treatment center to please do your research.... I would never recommend this facility to anyone who actually want help and to get better. They also wouldn\'t let me use the phone to call anyone to get me that day..... Like hello I\'m pregnant I\'m not going to use for the sake of my unborn child and wanted to go to treatment to figure out some new tips and ideas to reduce cravings and what not.... I had a very terrible experience there and I can\'t say more how rude the staff was. I would hear the techs gossiping in the office about the clients as well which is extremely unprofessional and not to mention out of line !!! They say that they are all about helping their pregnant clients but this is not true whatso ever. I actually lost weight while I was there from the food being so discusting (I\'m not a picky eater at all !) and from being so stressed out there. DO NOT waste your time or $ going there, I promise it\'s not worth it !!!

I am very disappointed with the \"care\" my loved one has received while at this place. They are short staffed and have too many women in one place. They do not answer the phone nor do they call back if a message is left. I would not recommend any loved one to seek help at this facility.

Wonderful staff and wonderful program.... It\'s only as good as you make it!
