Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehab enables clients to continue to work, attend school, or reside at home while undergoing treatment, including addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Evening, night, and weekend sessions are available at many facilities to ensure continuous access to care on the client's schedule. Many centers also offer ancillary services, such as career coaching and peer mentoring, to promote clients' sustained recovery and community integration. Higher-level outpatient treatment, including intensive outpatient (IOP) care, is also widely available.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehabs provide a safe, supportive environment for clients to focus on their recovery secure from outside distractions, stressors, and triggers. Clients receive housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision. They also engage in extensive addiction counseling, often including group and family therapy. Many programs prioritize recovery-focused life skills training to support clients' reintegration into their home, workplace, school, and community. Evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga, acupuncture, meditation, hypnotherapy, or animal therapy, may also be provided.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs provide an intermediate level of care, often supporting clients' transition from inpatient rehab to outpatient treatment. Most IOP programs require a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly, but clients may receive up to 20 hours of care, with the intensity and frequency of care declining as clients grow stronger in their sobriety. Intensive outpatient treatment generally combines addiction counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and, for some, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

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.

Treatment

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 Behavior Therapy

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.

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.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy in Missouri deals with the problems each partner has within themselves and with each other. Sessions may be held jointly and others individually to address these issues and help each partner learn how to manage challenges in healthy ways.

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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutritional Therapy

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine replacement therapy in Missouri addresses physical dependence on nicotine, while support systems and behavioral therapy address the psychological aspects of addiction. Formats include inhalers, nasal sprays, lozenges, patches, and gum.

Accreditations

This place is filthy. My son came home with ringworms. The staff cursed at the kids while I was visiting my son.

Warning: Stay Away from Lakerland Behavioral Health Care in Springfield, MOI recently moved to the area and was searching for help managing my ADHD and anxiety, which had become overwhelming due to work stress and marital issues. I thought Lakerland Behavioral Health Care might be like the Access Center in Wisconsin, where I received supportive care. I called ahead, explained my situation, and was assured by the intake worker that I could come in to discuss my medications. I was told it would take a day or so and that I was self-admitted, meaning I could leave at any time.However, once I arrived, it became clear that something was seriously wrong. Despite my immediate discomfort and my repeated requests to leave, I was detained against my will for over 4 hours from 2:30 am until after 6 am before I was finally allowed to speak with a doctor. During this time, I was treated as if I were suicidal, which was completely untrue and unfounded. I had explicitly stated my concerns were related to ADHD and anxiety, not suicidal thoughts.To make matters worse, I am now being charged for services that were not only unwanted but also against my will, and I am forced to deal with this as an AMA (Against Medical Advice) case.The treatment I received was not only unacceptable but also deeply personal and racist. This facility is dangerous and does not have the best interest of its patients in mind.If they truly had my best interests in mind, they would have followed up after I was finally allowed to leave, following my conversation with the doctor. He assured me that a social worker would call me with resources to help with my anxiety and ADHD, but that never happened. This clearly shows they don't care about anyone's well-being they just wanted my money. They had no concern for my health at all.In addition, my husband and I had a scheduled appointment with our couples therapist the same day I was finally released. We informed her about what had happened, and she was absolutely appalled by the situation. She strongly encouraged me to report this facility, which I fully intend to do starting Monday.DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY OR CHILDREN HERE. This place is not safe, and their practices are unethical. Please protect your loved ones and avoid Lakerland Behavioral Health Care at all costs.

triple dosed me on a new medication (abilify) without doing any proper blood work before hand. girls were actively trying to harm themselves and one staff member said just let them do it . a girl was having a severe panic attack/ptsd episode. one staff member was holding her hand through it, and another said i ve had panic attacks and i never needed anyone to hold my hand . this was 3 years ago but i doubt that anything has changed. this was my first ever mental health hospitalization and it was traumatic. things that happened during my stay are permanently ingrained in my memory. i advise every parent that is considering this place: DO NOT DO IT!!! there is a reason that it is rated so lowly. if you need a good place and can go out of state, Springwoods Behavioral Health is a great option.

Was sent here in May 2018 The worst inpatient program I had ever went too We sat on the floor The food was absolutely trash. I d rather starve myself then eat it I had one meeting with the doctor One family therapy And a couple therapy sessions. Do not send your kids here. I was there for four days and it did absolutely nothing. I was rehospitalized like three days later

I would not wish this place on my worst enemy. I was here from November of 2019 to May of 2020. Here are some things i experienced during my 5 months at this facility. I was forced to stop taking my adhd medication day one,which I had been taking for years at this point,and went into withdrawals. I was gaslit by the "doctor" and nursing staff into I believing I wasn't. I was then told that I didn't even have adhd based on the opinion of the facilities teachers who had only ever seen me do anything in a controlled environment. I definitely still have adhd and was rediagnosed as an adult. We were not allowed to shower for an extended period of time as a punishment. We also received forced on unit exercise as a punishment. I think I was only allowed to go outside a total 3 of three times in my 5 month stay. When I got out,being in the sun physically hurt my skin,I had not been outside in months prior to my release. There were roaches,rodents,and other pests on the unit. I watched my peers deteriorate to the point of attempting suicide in order to get out of this place. The food was gross,but if you didn't eat it,you got a punishment. I got severe food poisoning from the food I was forced to eat here,twice. I begged my parents to pull me out,but the staff convinced them I was just being dramatic and was refusing treatment.The only things that made this place bearable were a few of the staff members and my peers who I am still in contact with. I came here voluntarily because I wanted help but I wouldn't say this place did anything more than traumatize me into not outwardly expressing any need for help. I talk about this place in therapy frequently. If any parents read this review,do not send your child here. I'm sure your insurance will cover something better than this prison. I don't care how bad off you think your child is,they don't deserve this.Sincerely,A traumatized 21 year old.

Phone system is very inadequate. Done playing the phone games. Missed my daughter's therapy session.

I was here four years ago when I was 11. It has been a while so things might ve change but all I can say is that my stay here was horrible. When I first got here I already had a bad feeling because the place just looked old and unwelcoming. I was placed in the younger kids section and the moment I got there a boy sexualized me and told me what he wanted to do with me. I ended up not telling the staff because a lot of them were aggressive and I didn t want to get yelled at. I didn t have a roommate my entire stay and eventually learnt it was because they didn t see me as fit to have one. My guess was because I talked about the fact that I was queer a lot and while I understand it wasn t the most appropriate time to talk about it I was 11 and autistic and didn t know any better. There was one staff that would yell at us everytime somebody did something wrong. I remember her screaming at us that we weren t allowed to make friends which I never really understood. I would think that getting along with the kids at the facility would help our mental health and would be good for the kids staying there. They didn t give us much privacy and had cameras in the room that probably weren t even checked because I was able to switch beds during the night and wasn t noticed until they did their check-ups. The showers were barely working and were freezing cold. They had this room where they would lock up misbehaving kids which was just a small metal room. They would then shot these needles that had what they called booty juice at them. The food sucked and the general atmosphere of the place was unwelcoming and downright hostile at times. There were kids in my section that were supposed to be with the teenagers but never got moved up. At night I remember being woken up multiple times by kids misbehaving and was met with utter hostility by the staff. I remember being told by a resident that the staff had gossiped about me and other kids.There were only a few that were actually nice. My therapist was terrible at her job and just told me to go write in a diary and never bothered to do anything else. I don t even think she gave me anything to write in. When I got there they forced me to take off my clothes and did an examination of my body which I find a lot of people who worked here show concern about. Generally just a horrible place and I would not recommend sending your kids here.

Lakeland staff in the rtc program did not really pay attention to their kids or paid to much attention depending on who was working that night or day! I was in harmony and during the Day we were barley allowed to talk we had lost our chairs for most of the stay because the staff wasn't paying attention a 2 of the patients there began sexual activities because the staff were not paying attention. While being there they had a monitor on where they would track how we were feeling or what we were doing THEY HAD TO DO THIS ! Some of the staff would log us out so we weren't monitored . Our water needs were barley met and on weekends we didn't do hygiene . They would tell us that " they can do whatever they wanted to us " they would let people such as myself self harm and when I tried to hang myself they over looked it because I was a good quiet kid ! DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE . They don't check on you every 15 minutes like they are supposed to !!!

If I could give 0 stars I would. I lasted exactly 2 days into orientation before I had to back out because I could not morally and ethically work in a place like this. The conditions they keep these children in are disgusting. All of the rooms smell horrible, extremely cramped, no air flow, no natural lighting. It was easily 80 degrees of just stagnant air on every single floor the kids and elderly were kept on, but all of the staff/visitor floors/offices were, conveniently, the exact opposite. It's extremely unacceptable that one maintenance man gets a huge office with couches and air conditioning but 20+ kids are forced into a tiny, cramped, disgusting "bedroom." The "reset room" is where they put children who are becoming aggresive. This room is VERY small with barely any lighting and no air flow, floor to ceiling concrete. Nothing for the kids to lay or sit on. This room was also easily 80-85 degrees. The one we were shown had a upside down cross and the words "call me 911" scratched into the wall. On the residential floor, the rooms were piled with dirty clothes and trash. The beds were disgusting, sheets looked like they hadn't been changed in weeks. The mirror in the kids bathroom had profanity scratched into it.On day ONE of orientation, it was basically 9 hours of staff coming in and telling us how many times children have SUCCESSFULLY escaped the facility, how past staff has put children in danger, how patients have been left alone long enough to have sexual contact with each other, how STAFF has been caught having sexual contact with patients. How and why are patients being left unsupervised for long enough for these things to happen MULTIPLE TIMES?I could go on about the absolute squalor these poor kids are being kept in but hopefully this will be enough for you to not send your children here if they are struggling.

Honestly, if you love your teen or kid, DONT send them here, tons of illegal things going on, neglect, abuse, cockroaches in the food, yelling from staff, when you had something like a panic attack you were punished and thrown in a room, they would absolutely manhandle you, NEVER. SEND. YOUR. CHILD. HERE
