Domestic violence services, including family or partner

Offer support and protection to individuals who have experienced domestic violence.

Early intervention for HIV

A process that aims to detect and treat HIV in its early stages, thus preventing the development of AIDS and other secondary infections.

Mental health services

Psychological services that involve evaluating, diagnosing, treating, or providing counseling to individuals or groups to help relieve mental or emotional illnesses, symptoms, conditions, or disorders.

Social skills development

Helps clients develop and improve their social skills. The program maybe offered by Merakey and typically involves a range of interventions, such as group therapy, behavioral therapy, and coaching, designed to teach clients the skills needed to build healthy relationships, communicate effectively, and cope with social situations. This service can be particularly beneficial for individuals with substance use disorders who may have difficulties with social interactions and may help to improve their overall quality of life and social functioning.

Transportation assistance

Provides support to clients who may have difficulty accessing the Merakey facility due to transportation challenges. The service may include arranging transportation for clients to and from the facility, providing public transportation information, or offering financial assistance for transportation costs. This service can be critical in ensuring that clients have regular access to treatment in Philadelphia or the area the individual resides, and can help to reduce barriers to care for individuals who may be unable to attend treatment sessions without support.

Integrated primary care services

Offers comprehensive healthcare services to individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. The services aim to address chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, which can be exacerbated by unhealthy habits such as lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, and smoking. The program includes screening, coordination between behavioral and medical healthcare providers, and connecting patients to resources to support overall well-being and positive outcomes.

Methadone

A medication that is primarily used in the treatment of opioid use disorder. It is a synthetic opioid that works by binding to the same receptors in the brain that are targeted by other opioids, such as heroin or prescription pain medications. However, unlike these drugs of abuse, methadone is long-acting and can help to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same euphoric effects. One unique feature of Methadone is that it has a long half-life, which means that it remains active in the body for a longer period of time than other opioids. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with opioid use disorder, as it can help to alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms without the need for frequent dosing.

Buprenorphine with naloxone

A prescription drug that combines buprenorphine and naloxone, used to treat opioid dependency. The buprenorphine component helps alleviate symptoms of withdrawal, while the naloxone component reverses the effects of opioids.

Naltrexone (extended-release, injectable)

Naltrexone (extended-release, injectable) may be used as a treatment option for individuals with alcohol use disorder or opioid use disorder. The medication is administered as a monthly injection providing long-lasting protection against the effects of alcohol or opioids.

Medications for Hepatitis C treatment

Refer to the use of antiviral medications to manage and treat Hepatitis C infection in individuals who are also receiving treatment for substance use disorders. Hepatitis C treatment pharmacotherapies can be a critical component of Merakey's drug treatment programs for individuals who are living with both substance use disorders and Hepatitis C. These medications can help to clear the virus from the body, reduce the risk of liver damage, and improve overall health outcomes and quality of life.

Medication for mental disorders

Refers to the use of medications to manage and treat various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. These medications can help to alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and increase overall functioning in individuals with mental health conditions.

Medications for pre-exposure to prophylaxis

Refers to the use of medications to prevent the transmission of HIV in individuals who are at high risk for the virus. PrEP involves taking antiretroviral medications before and after exposure to the virus to reduce the risk of infection. In the Merakey facility, healthcare providers may work in conjunction with HIV specialists to prescribe and manage PrEP medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Refers to a form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns. Clients work with a therapist, either individually, in a family setting, or in a group setting, to identify and replace unproductive thoughts with more positive and realistic ones. The client is encouraged to be an active participant in the therapy process.

Motivational interviewing

A counseling method that recognizes the common occurrence of hesitation and indecision in making changes. Instead of immediately targeting change, the approach focuses on increasing motivation for change.

Relapse prevention

A cognitive behavioral therapy designed to treat individuals with alcohol addiction and later adapted for those struggling with cocaine addiction. This approach is based on the belief that learning processes play a crucial role in the formation of negative behavior patterns. Patients are taught to recognize and change these behaviors. The relapse prevention component involves several cognitive-behavioral strategies aimed at promoting sobriety and providing support in Philadelphia in case of relapse.

Substance use disorder counseling

A brief form of therapy that has been applied to a range of disorders including opioid drug dependence and cocaine addiction. It involves the use of supportive methods, which allow the patient to express their personal experiences, and expressive techniques, which help the patient work through relationship issues and gain a deeper self-awareness.

Trauma-related counseling

A form of therapy that utilizes cognitive and behavioral methods to address the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the aftermath of abuse and trauma.

Telemedicine/telehealth therapy

The use of telecommunication technology at Merakey that enables healthcare providers to connect with patients remotely, diagnose conditions, offer treatment, and collaborate with other providers to deliver quality healthcare services is known as telemedicine, teletherapy, telepsychiatry, or e-psychiatry. The facility maf offer it as an option for individuals not located in Philadelphia.

12-step facilitation

A 12-step program is a support group composed of individuals who have a common addiction. The "12 steps" are a set of guidelines that individuals in recovery must follow to overcome their addiction. Participants in these meetings share their personal journeys, challenges, triumphs, and setbacks, offering peer support and encouragement to one another in the Philadelphia area.
