Does The Meadows provide post-treatment recovery support?
At The Meadows, we know that recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. The Meadows offers several different options, including step-down programs after inpatient treatment through our outpatient programs with locations across the country, as well as our experienced Case Management team that provides ongoing support. Additionally, our alumni program, Onward, is open to any individual who has gone through one of our programs. Onward provides individuals with a supportive community committed to ongoing resources and empowerment, knowing that recovery is a lifelong journey.
Does treatment for mental health include family involvement or support?
Family or friend involvement is crucial to the healing process for mental health. In our programs, we offer a variety of resources for family members, including educational and communication tools, as well as, in some cases, onsite workshops. The decision to attend a family program is guided by several factors, including the length of stay, clinical appropriateness, patient desire, and others. Once admitted, our team members will work with the patient and their family to determine the next steps.
