Meritcare Health Systems in Fargo, ND provides comprehensive substance abuse treatment and detoxification services to individuals and families struggling with addiction.

Whether you're seeking initial detoxification support or ongoing outpatient care, Meritcare Health Systems delivers evidence-based treatment in a supportive environment.
Meritcare Health Systems offers multiple levels of care to address varying treatment needs. Detoxification services help patients safely manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, which is often the necessary first step in recovery. The facility provides outpatient treatment, allowing patients to receive care while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. Partial hospitalization or day treatment offers a higher level of structure and support than standard outpatient care, with patients attending sessions during the day and returning home in the evenings. Additionally, the facility utilizes buprenorphine, a proven medication-assisted treatment option that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, helping patients stabilize and focus on their recovery journey.
Meritcare Health Systems accepts a wide range of insurance plans and payment options, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to treatment. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and state-financed programs, in addition to offering self-payment options. Most insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment at parity with other medical conditions under federal law, which means your mental health and addiction treatment should be covered similarly to physical health services. If you're unsure about your coverage, the facility's admissions team can help verify your benefits.
