Lighthouse Treatment Center

My first experience in a rehab facility was at the LH. I was afraid and didn't know what to expect. The staff treated me exceptionally well from the beginning! I quickly felt comforted and at home. The LH not only provided me tools that I still use today, the LH showed me how to live life and show up sober! The Alumni program is awesome, it helps me stay connected to recovery! Thank you for saving Me LH! Xoxo

BNI Treatment Centers

What a fantastic place! I really can't recommend it enough. We were really happy to find a place owned and run by doctors. We felt that our kid needed that kind of attention and care. The doctor did an amazing job! It was so important to us to figure out exactly what was going on with her. We had no idea why she was suffering so much and behaving the way she was. They figured it out and figured out how to treat her. Her therapist was wonderful as well. The family therapy and parent coaching was a huge benefit to us as well. The staff was professional and very attentive. We really are grateful for the work BNI did!

Find Merced Recovery Programs
Known as the “Gateway to Yosemite,” Merced has been a popular destination for tourists for many years. This rapidly growing city became the home of the 10^th University of California campus in 2005, but with the arrival of new freshmen came the arrival of college drinking rituals and a greater need for Merced drug rehab programs.

If you or someone in your family is about to start college, there’s a lot you can do to stay sober at school.

Things to Consider Before Entering a Rehab

The first year of college is a vulnerable time for young people who are away from home. For many freshmen, college is their first opportunity to experiment with drugs and alcohol without worrying about parental supervision. As a result, a lot of students go wild, and the risks of alcohol poisoning, drunk driving, unsafe sex and illicit drug use increase. The pressures of academic life and the separation from friends and family make freshmen even more likely to drink or drug. Merced alcohol rehab programs can help college students who’ve developed a chemical dependence get their lives back on track.

What Can Freshmen Do to Avoid Alcohol Abuse?

The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention states that heavy drinking among college students is preventable. What can you do as a new college student to avoid the health risks of heavy drinking?

Seek out alcohol-free parties, clubs and activities.
Form friendships with students who abstain from alcohol or who drink lightly.
Start a designated driver program in your dorm.
Live on campus, at least for your freshman year.
Learn the signs of alcohol poisoning and call 911 if you notice these symptoms in a friend.

Benefits of Merced Treatment Facilities

Outpatient recovery program treatment facilities are a popular option among students, young parents, working professionals and other individuals who need to keep up their studies or take care of families while they go through rehab.
