Center for Addictions

At the Center for Addictions, our goal is to provide quality care and programs for those affected by addictive disease.

We provide a structured outpatient treatment program, and we’re one of the largest providers of quality addiction services in southwest Missouri. Our innovative programs are designed to meet our patients’ changing needs. Treatment and services include addiction education, medication management, group and individual therapy, case management, life and social skills training, recreation therapy, leisure education and family therapy. We offer flexible schedules with day and evening options. We also can help patients in need of long-term inpatient treatment with referrals, assessments and more.

Center for Addictions Services & Treatments

Inpatient Detox

We provide inpatient medical detoxification on our medical units. Detoxification from alcohol and/or other mood altering drugs is a sometimes a necessary first step in the overall process of recovery from drug dependence. Detoxification often requires close medical management of the more severe withdrawal symptoms to ensure your overall safety and well-being.

To help you make decisions about additional services that may be necessary for your successful recovery, staff members from the Center for Addictions meet with you during your detoxification admission to explain your treatment options and help with discharge planning.

Partial Hospitalization

Partial hospitalization is the most intensive level of outpatient treatment services we provide. It combines much of the intensity and structure of an inpatient or residential program with the freedom and lower costs of outpatient services.

During partial hospitalization, you attend full-day treatment services, five days a week (Monday through Friday), and return to your own home in the evenings and on weekends. The length of stay varies from patient to patient, and you are often "stepped-down" through our outpatient services before you are discharged.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Intensive outpatient treatment is the most common and versatile level of service we offer.

Intensive outpatient treatment is available in morning, afternoon and evening formats. This flexibility means you are able to receive a focused core of addiction services, often with minimal disruption to your work, school or lifestyle schedules. Intensity can be varied by adjusting treatment between a three- and five-day per week schedule. Length of stay varies based on your individual needs.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling is an important part of every level of outpatient service. You may participate in individual counseling separate from other levels of services when it will help with your treatment. More often, it’s a follow-up to more intensive treatment levels.

Family Support

Family involvement is important to each patient’s recovery. Family therapy is arranged based on your and your family’s needs and schedule. Family group sessions are offered once monthly.

Medication Management

Medication management needs are evaluated and determined by our medical staff. Medical management of addiction can help you remain in treatment and better control withdrawal symptoms and cravings, allowing you to focus on avoiding triggers and to work with our staff to address any issues that may contribute to a relapse. You can participate in medication-assisted treatment separately from or alongside other levels of care.

Medication-assisted treatment may include the use of buprenorphine (Subutex/Suboxone), Campral, Antabuse, Naltrexone, antidepressants or other medications deemed necessary by the treatment team to better help you manage the symptoms of your disease.

Psychological Testing/Assessment

All Center for Addictions’ patients who want, or would benefit from, a psychological assessment may speak with a licensed psychologist. This evaluation helps both you and our counselors better understand how your emotions affect your addictions.

Results are discussed with the psychologist and processed with your counselor, partnering with the primary treatment program and helping with recovery.

Continuing Care

It’s our philosophy that addiction is a primary, chronic and progressive disease. When you’re involved in a structured, individualized program of recovery and relapse prevention following your treatment, your recovery is most successful.

To help, we provide a Continuing Care program free of charge to all patients who complete their primary treatment at the Center for Addictions. We recommend six months of continuous involvement, but don’t limit involvement beyond that time.

Continuing Care helps you maintain the changes you began working on during your treatment. Groups are led by an addictions counselor and focus on:

- Relapse prevention

- Maintaining a sober lifestyle

- Continued education about recovery

- Resolving issues in recovery

- Accountability
