Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare

Rehab aftercare programs offer continuing care for clients in the maintenance phase of recovery and are designed to evolve over time. Outpatient treatment is generally categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive services after being discharged from formal care. These services are customized to clients' unique recovery goals, but typically include medical, mental health, and social services. Clients' case manager and recovery team play a key role in developing the client's care plan.

12-Step

12 step programs are designed to enable participants to understand and address the root causes of their addiction, accept responsibility for their life choices, and relinquish control over that which they cannot change. Participants are expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings and to be mentored in their recovery journey by a self-selected sponsor. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public. A variety of formats are available, including programs for seniors, teens, family members, and nondenominational Christians.

24-Hour Clinical Care

Due to the potential for severe withdrawal symptoms, it is important to detox in a facility with 24-hour clinical care in Missouri. Most people experience some form of withdrawal symptoms, and this setting offers medical professionals who are on site 24/7 to provide any necessary treatment. This supervision makes the detox process safer and less painful and improves the likelihood of a successful recovery.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the process of ridding the body of addictive substances under the supervision of licensed medical professionals. An expert medical team, which may include physicians, nurses, clinical staff, and therapists, will monitor your vitals, help maximize your comfort and safety, and provide medication if necessary to help mitigate the symptoms of withdrawal. The length of the process varies depending on your needs.

Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

was here from December 2022 until August 2023 (I don't remember exactly, but it was close to that). I was in Bruemmer. When I first got at the cottage, I was terrified. I've been to three 2 week mental placements before this, It was just scary knowing I could stay there for a long time. Yes, I did end up staying a long time, but would I say it was a waste of my time? No, I would not. When I first arrived there I was greeted by Ms. Brooks? I think that is how you spell it. She took my medication that I had previously from the last placement and did an evaluation with me. After all of that was done, I went to Ms. Maggie's office, we chatted for a bit. She's super nice and funny and really tries to make this a comfortable environment as much as she can. Keep in mind there's kids in foster care here with nowhere to go, or they are struggling mentally. I was there for struggling mentally. Anyway, fast forward a while later, I got comfortable quickly, there was a routine and boundaries set for everyday. Plus, some fun things we did like karaoke or just having free time where we drew, did each other's hair, or simply just read a book. My favorite part of being here was the outings. (Where you go out to public places). We also went to the Mermac Ranch. I had the pleasure of going with another peer and Ms. Anne to a mud run that was there. It was super fun. I'm going to shout out some of the staff that really knew what they were doing with their job and that really cared for the future of the kids. One of them was Mr. Monte. He was caring when I got to bruemmer. He made sure I was comfortable with my surroundings and got what I needed. Over time, he was the only one I really talked too, he didn't go through the same stuff as me, but he understood where I was coming from. I remember I was having a huge breakdown in the hallway, and he was the one who was in there with me. I was trying to act tough and be smart, but all I really needed was just comfort, and he knew that without me even telling him. The next one is Ms. Key. (Mr. Monte's sister). Ms. Key is exactly how her name sounds. She has the key to open your heart. She's a super sweet person. She laughs at everything. Even if it's not funny, she just will brighten up your day with one sentence. She always helped me set healthy boundaries with staff and peers, and on occasion, she gave me a piece of her food sometimes. I could go on more about all of the other staff that impacted my stay positively, but I'm pretty sure they don't work there anymore, and I've said way too much in this review already. Now, you may be wondering why just four stars if I had a good experience. I put four stars because being here can be super stressful. A lot of the kids I were with ran away a bunch, or the whole cottage got into three restraints in one day. I was a part of both of those things, I ran away, but I just got to the other side of the fence before I got caught by a track star. (Ms, Lillie). I actually respect her for catching me, even though the restraints were tight. I'm still really glad that she saw me. If you're planning to come here, PLEASE do not run, running does you no good. It puts you on lockdown for so long, and all of the staff have to watch your every move, which is not fun for you or for the staff. Then most of the food was really good, I mean not super good, but for being in this type of place for so long and forgetting what real food taste like sometimes, this is the best you got. The cooks were super sweet. If you want to come here, you should. I would totally just come back and talk about my experience about being here to shed a little light on the situation they are in. Yes, this place has its ups and downs, but that's every mental placement. I want to thank everyone who knew me while I was here. I never thought I would see myself so happy and thoughtful of my surroundings, I'm with my family, and I'm about to graduate therapy. It feels so joyful when you're healthy. You'll sucker punch the stuff you're dealing with into the ground. Thank you for helping me. -Jewel K

Formerly a resident many years ago and had the privilege of working in Bruemmer! My time here was so bittersweet and these kiddos have been dealt a terrible card. The staff who are consistent with these kids end up seeing growth! There is never a BAD kid, just learned behavior within their survival mode of handling their life. It was such an honor to walk alongside the families, staff, and kiddos! We need more people who see the actual kid then the paperwork file of them. I pray this company continues to grow and expand because the need of trauma informed care is great.

As a former employee, I would say that this has been one of the best jobs that I have ever had. The amount of connections, friends, and experiences I have had at the Springfield campus has influenced me to continue my education to continue working with behavioral health children. The staff do their best to provide as much love, attention, and care to the residents as possible while also providing them with continuous and meaningful therapeutic interventions (including set standards of care, activities, exercise, outings, and more). The attention and patience needed to be a staff member in a residential campus takes guts and it teaches you about yourself and others. If you enjoy working with children and setting and a positive example, and are good with therapeutic interventions and creating meaningful connections for children in need, then I highly recommend becoming a full-time or part-staff member in one of the cottages. There are tough days, or even tough weeks, but then some days that even staff have so much fun and you see the growth in the children you re caring for. You see them become who they are meant to be, and that will always be the goal of staff members at KVC.

I've heard this place changed a lot with the new administration. They manage all Great Circles (KVC) in the whole state of Missouri, and they are expanding. They have a lot of power, I guess with the back up of people in power, from politicians to DMH (Moriah Taylor, Lisa Crawford) and Children's Division (Saije. Seaver.) Everyone here is involved in this facade. They can do whatever they want with those poor kiddos under their position of "Non profit organization." They are even untouchables by the Attorney General, what is a real shame. And then we ask why the mental health of our children is struggling in so many aspects. Hope someday they can be accountable under the law. P.S. Of course, they will deny everything. But there's proof for my words.

I m a past resident and I applied here last year and had an interview. Upon arrival of my interview I was greeted by the secretary which is the same secretary that was working there when I was a resident when the company was known as great circle and boys and girls town. The secretary talked to me while I was waiting for my interviewer on and on about my past stay with great circle, mind you this was in 2015 or 2016 when I was a child which i barely have any memory of. She went on and on about how I behaved while staying there and how she had knew my name was familiar and told everyone that I had been a past resident. When I got to meet with the interviewer (who I had never met and should ve had an unbiased opinion of me) made all the questions about my past stay when I was a child. Said to me some staff that worked here during your stay are still here do you think you ll be able to handle that I replied I m an adult me when I was 15 or 16 is not me at almost 23 years of age they went on to ask me if I would let my emotions of me being a past resident get in the way of me being able to care for the children and many more very inappropriate questions that made me feel very low and uncomfortable. The way I was treated that day made me feel as though my childhood past still has a hold on me which is beyond unfair. I went into that interview wanting to help children that are in the same shoes that I once was because that s all I ve strived to do since exiting the foster system and that day I walked out of this building I felt very very degraded and defeated. I never received a call back from the company despite my calls to follow up and voicemail I left and my interview was less than 30 minutes long. As a company that claims to help people achieve mental health wellness I would ve thought I would ve been able to go into this interview and get the same opportunity as everyone else that has applied and been interviewed but I was robbed of that because of my actions as a very young child. I m very disappointed in my experience. Mental health establishments really need to strive to be better in backing up their claims to what they support.

We are truly sorry to hear you had this experience when you applied at Great Circle last year. In April 2023, Great Circle's programs integrated into KVC Missouri, a nonprofit organization with more than 50 years of service to children and families. We are committed to treating every person with compassion and respect and strive to foster a culture where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and embraced.

Did anyone else notice that the only 5 stars were from staff members for the most part? That over the past year they have gotten almost all negative reveiws? Is anyone looking into this place? Who else has loved ones here?

Hi Jeremiah, in April 2023, what was previously known as Great Circle integrated into KVC Missouri, a nonprofit organization with over 50 years of heart-centered service to children and families, and a national leader in mental health and child welfare. With this integration, we are making several changes across our organization to ensure we provide the highest quality services and support to our clients and their families. We are sorry if that was not your experience. We encourage you to call us at 844 - 424 - 3577 to share any feedback you have about an experience with Great Circle or KVC Missouri.

Gabriel Mereness

Former resident (Meier in St James but spent lots of time at this campus). Just a few questions, why keep an employee after they're charged with the wrongful death of a child? Or keep staff/management who act predatory towards and/or groom the children? Did you solve the issue of staff supplying residents with tobacco? In my experience, they will lie to you, manipulate you and your child, and constantly abuse the powers they hold. If you're considering sending your child here, I would suggest Comets Pizza instead, your child would be safer there.Edit: They were transferring over to KVC near the end of my stay there (2015), I even shook hands with Vince when he visited the facility and went over some "changes"

Apparently this establishment, along with the SPD, loose kids for 13 days before ever issuing a public alert to help locate the endangered child. Obviously the child never felt safe with staff. Obviously staff was never concerned with safety. Absolute garbage. Even if this is you are doing your best, it isn't enough. You have fallen so short of your goals to provide for these kids the safety and security their unfortunate upbringing has already robbed them of. You have all FAILED. I don't care if that hurts your feeling, morale, or PR, because it is YOU that are hurting these CHILDREN exponentially more. Despicable. How dare you. How dare every single last one of you. The "Great" Circle, SPD, KY3, and the state of Missouri should all feel so VERY ashamed and so VERY, VERY scared for the future of our children, our world, and our state.

Working in the OFRC (Darr Cottage) has been the best experience in my life. Being able to come and be there for the kiddos that have no one has put a sense of purpose in my life. Management has also been a dream! I have never worked anywhere that has listened, changed, and praised me until I worked here! It can be a stressful job but the work is worth it! Staff have each others back and upper management is always willing to help and not leave their staff high and dry! I would definitely recommend checking it out!
