About North Central Health Care Outpatient - Merrill Center
North Central Health Care (NCHC) - Merrill center offers outpatient substance use treatment for residents of Marathon, Langlade, and Lincoln counties in Central Wisconsin. Services are available for individuals dealing with alcohol, drug, tobacco, or gambling-related issues. Flexible treatment options include individual counseling, group therapy, educational sessions, and an eight-week intensive outpatient program (IOP). Outpatient care works well for individuals who have support at home and a stable daily environment. It allows clients to receive professional care without stepping away from their everyday lives and communities. Their outpatient program tailors each treatment plan to the client’s needs and goals. Evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) help clients reshape negative thoughts and build healthier emotional responses. A12-Step Recovery model and team-based approach offer structure, while group sessions foster peer support. Individual therapy provides space for deeper reflection and growth. Education on substance use triggers, relapse prevention, and substance use awareness strengthens each client’s ability to manage challenges and sustain recovery. NCHC’s outpatient services are built for accessibility, offering day and evening sessions as well as telehealth options. Practical resources include job assistance, family education, and community referrals, helping address life outside of therapy. The center also provides state-approved assessments for those convicted of operating while intoxicated (OWI). These include legally required evaluations and individualized driver safety plans. Whether clients are facing addiction, legal requirements, or both, NCHC delivers comprehensive care and support every step of the way.
