Drug & Alcohol Treatment

The Stepping Stones Program

The Stepping Stones Program at Meadville Medical Center offers both residential and outpatient treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. Serving the area surrounding Meadville, our program not only treats the individual, we also offer family counseling services as well.

Stepping Stones accepts adults 18 years old or older for substance abuse treatment. If you need detoxification, we offer a medically managed inpatient stay. Outpatient treatment includes two group counseling sessions and one individual session each week once you have been assessed for treatment needs. Several tracts exist and range from 8-10 week brief intervention, to 12-16 weeks of treatment. Specialty groups address additional problems. Family group meetings are held three times weekly, following but not limited to a 12-week rotating schedule of topics.

We also administer an Employee Assistance Program so that local businesses may assist their employees with problems not only with the abuse of substances, but with other issues. The Employee Assistance Program Community Outreach Liaison is available to discuss the program options with employers.

Admittance​

If you’re under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, our staff is available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to advise on the safest and closest avenues for assistance. All admissions must be screened in an Emergency Department. Our staff often recommends you go to the nearest emergency room for treatment and assessment of immediate needs. Services are also available for safe medically-managed withdrawal when certain opiate or other prescribed regimens are no longer indicated.

Program Length​

The length of the inpatient program varies depending on the severity of your condition and the recommended treatment plan. Recommended length is determined on a case-by-case basis. The program offers both detoxification and rehabilitation. The maximum length of rehabilitation is ordinarily 28 days, with some exceptions.

Confidentiality

At MMC, our drug and alcohol treatment program locks its doors to the public to maintain privacy. Federal law dictates the release of any of your private information is illegal unless you approve in writing beforehand, and the law then limits what can be disclosed. Your time at our program is kept completely confidential.

Outside Contact​

Once you are enrolled in The Stepping Stones Program, contact with family and friends is limited to Sunday visiting and weekend phone calls, by supervisory approval. This allows you to concentrate on working with your counselor and the treatment staff to achieve your goals for improved health, and sobriety. Loved ones have plenty of opportunity to visit at scheduled times, and are encouraged to meet with the Family Counselor. Formal family sessions can also be scheduled and those will be arranged to meet the needs of the family who would be traveling to this facility. Other outside contact such as to employer, landlord, case manager, and other individuals is able to be made throughout the week with counselor approval.
