About us
Meridian Behavioral Health in Waverly, Minnesota, has a program called New Beginnings that helps women ages 18 and up who are having problems with their mental health or drug abuse. The facility is a safe place for women only, created to meet the specific needs of patients who identify as women. With an emphasis on whole-person healing, New Beginnings helps women find their way to mental and physical health.
The center has many different programs, such as full treatment for people who need it, outpatient services, detoxification, ongoing care, and support for people who have been there before. Medical management, individual and group therapy, family programs, and a curriculum just for women are some of the ways that people are treated. As part of the care model, there are also groups for mental health psychotherapy, methods for preventing relapse, and therapeutic recreation. Gender-informed care is very important to New Beginnings. They offer nutrition information and activities that are geared toward women and the problems they face. Because New Beginnings is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), you can be sure that you will get good care and help with your healing.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
