MERIT provides virtual Substance Use Disorder and Co Occurring Mental Health Screening and Brief Intervention, Assessments and referrals, Intakes, IOP (Intensive Outpatient), and OP (Outpatient services). All services replicate our face-to-face patient care experience in every way. Virtual services combines group therapy and individual counseling sessions via telehealth and or telemedicine technology. By using your smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer or any device with an Internet connection and camera, you can participate from the convenience of your home. In addition to the program's accessible, easy-to-use video conferencing platform, our virtual systems comply with federal and state health care privacy regulations (e.g., meets HIPAA-compliant telemedicine standards). Virtual IOP and OP runs on a similar schedule as our in-person equivalent. Just like site-based treatment, virtual sessions incorporate our evidenced based curriculum.
