Meridian Behavioral Health Cedar Ridge Mens Residential

Meridian Behavioral Health Cedar Ridge Mens Residential is a gender-specific residential treatment program for men in Stillwater, MN. Situated in Washington County at 11400 Julianne Ave N, the center is structured to support men who are ready to commit to a residential level of care — living on-site and engaging fully in a recovery program rather than stepping in and out of outpatient appointments.

The men-only structure is a deliberate program decision, not simply an administrative one. For men navigating addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, a single-gender residential environment can change the dynamic of peer support and group accountability in ways that matter to long-term recovery outcomes. The 24-hour operational schedule means support is present at every hour of a resident's stay.

Cedar Ridge treats men dealing with a wide range of substance use disorders, including alcoholism, opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, benzodiazepine and sedative disorders, drug abuse, and other substance-related conditions. This breadth means the program is built to meet men where they are — not to filter admissions down to a single substance category.

Co-occurring disorders are explicitly addressed within the program. Men who arrive with both a substance use disorder and a mental health diagnosis — a common clinical reality in addiction treatment — are treated for both within the residential setting. This integrated approach to addiction and mental health is a meaningful differentiator for men and families who have previously encountered programs that treat substance abuse in isolation from mental health.

The program is designed exclusively for men, making it a specific fit for those who prefer or have been advised to pursue a single-gender residential treatment environment. The center serves the Stillwater area and Washington County, providing a residential recovery option in the eastern Twin Cities metro region of Minnesota.

Men dealing with addiction to opioids, stimulants, alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other substances — and particularly those managing co-occurring mental health conditions alongside their substance use — are the core population this program is built to serve. Families supporting a man in this situation can contact the center directly at (952) 843-4149 or reach out via email at [email protected] to learn more about the residential program.

Choosing a residential treatment program is a significant decision for the person entering care and for the family members supporting them. Unlike outpatient programs where someone returns home each evening, residential treatment means a man will be living at the facility for the duration of his program — a structure that removes day-to-day environmental triggers and places him fully within a recovery-focused setting.

For families in the Stillwater and Washington County area researching options, Meridian Behavioral Health Cedar Ridge Mens Residential offers a 24-hour, gender-specific residential program that treats both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Reaching out early — before a crisis escalates — gives families and prospective residents the most flexibility in planning a start date and preparing for the residential stay.
