Stabilization
Stabilization is the first phase of care at Merritt Recovery, focused on getting your body and mind steady before deeper treatment begins. Whether you or your loved one arrives in acute distress or physical withdrawal, this period gives our team time to manage symptoms, ensure safety, and prepare a clear path forward.
How Stabilization Works in Treatment
Stabilization is the first stretch of care, when the body and mind settle after active substance use or a mental health crisis. During this period at Merritt Recovery, licensed clinicians monitor your loved one closely, manage withdrawal symptoms, and treat conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems that often surface at the same time. A typical day involves regular check-ins, medication adjustments when appropriate, and rest in a supervised setting. This is not a standalone step. As the client grows steadier, the team folds stabilization into a fuller treatment plan and revises it as progress continues.
