I see that this a place is as bad or worse than it was 19 years ago. I also think they have some deal the state and some schools Putnam County sent my oldest there for years starting at the age of 6 the second time they had already called them before letting us know and they didn't even have custody of him at that time. He never got any education. We finally got custody of him when he was in 9th grade. That about 2 years after CPS stopped sending him there and he was no longer under Putnam County's care. My daughter was sent there once when she was around 8 and said there was a girl that was on her floor that got raped by a staff member. That was about 15 years ago.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Lakeland Behavioral Health System works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
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 iconIntensive 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 icon24-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.

Treatments

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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Missouri is to help clients change their thinking and behavioral patterns. Strategies of treatment include role playing, facing fears, and calming techniques.

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 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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

Addiction often leads to severe health issues, including malnutrition. While focusing on the consumption of substances, you don't get the vitamins your body needs. During nutrition therapy in Missouri, you'll work with a doctor and nutritionist to address the health concerns caused by poor nutrition and learn how to develop healthier eating habits for recovery.

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.

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 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.

It's not about the children, it's about the money. Food is nasty for everyone that has tastebuds. The staff didn't seem to care, they only leave you on the verge of an overdose every day so that they do not have to deal with you.

This place sucks! I do NOT recommend sending your loved ones here. most of the staff are horrible and do not treat you like a person, the water is freezing cold, the whole environment is always toxic, & it's just overall bad. There was a few good staff members there like Ms. Bri, Mr Matt, & Ms. Shawdae but other than those few staff members everyone else sucks! Also, when you get sent to Lakeland they say the stay will be 3 to 5 days but that's a lie, it's at least two weeks. You only get out sooner than that on very special occasions. This place needs to be shut down.

Went here a few years ago and nothing has changed from the reviews. Clothes were all washed together, we had to share nasty stained undergarments and clothes. We were promised nightly phone calls to family and rarely got them, I had to BEG for mine and a nurse finally caved so I would shut up. I begged my dad to come get me because I was told I wouldn t be put on medication, only to have my name called the next day for medication. I told the nurse I was told I wasn t going to be put on anything, and she very scarily responded well I have nothing here stating that so you re taking that pill and it terrified me that they were going to drug me up like the other girls there. One girl was so heavily medicated that she was hardly aware of her surroundings. Made us sit on the floor quite often, and I have back issues so that obviously did not help. When I got there, LOTS of girls in my unit were making sexual comments about me and things they were going to do to me in front of the nurses, and I was still put in rooms alone with them. It was literally like a prison in there. They were out of basic hygiene products for days. OH AND they were supposed to set me up with a therapist to see after I left. They literally hadn t set me up with anyone. I hate thinking about this place, it was honestly traumatizing

DO NOT SEND ANYONE LET ALONE YOUR KIDS INTO THIS FACILITY.I was there for what I thought was an original 9 days, but I ended up staying there for 16 days because of covid lockdowns. I was also on the all girls floor because of past anxiety.1. the food has made me feel horrible, food poisoning to the point where I didn't eat until they put me on a vegetarian diet.2. they wash all of the patients, (at least on the floor), personal clothes together, including underwear. If that wasn't disgusting enough, it was COVERED in grime, rust, and weird crusty dirt in the corners and along the wall even though we could NEVER go outside (only in a concrete gym fully indoors If we're good enough). there were several YOUNG girls who had just gotten their period, not understanding what to do, and leave the dried blood and bloodied toilet paper all over the bathroom which begs me to ask If they even check our rooms or clean them....3. the staff is neglectful and spread thin, I was more depressed and suicidal here then any time recently, and I was very open about it to staff, all I got was a staff member begrudgingly calling my therapist hours after a breakdown, stating that "it wasn't too serious" over the phone.4. we met our psychologist IN A BROOM CLOSET.... not in an office, not in our personal rooms, in a broom closet.5. when I was there several girls hurt themselves to the point of needing medical care, I believe around 3-4, because staff was neglectful, or too worried about things like eachother (gossiping), or girls being in relationships ( which I understand could be a problem to focus on IF girls weren't actively getting high or trying to kill themselves in front of you.)6. from what I've seen there is no separating people based on why they were there, as I a simple small depressive case that needed to stabilize my medication in a controlled environment, was in there with people with homicidal thoughts and severe anger or behavioral problems that have resulted in many MANY harsh fights in many facilities including this one.I had one good therapist while at Lakeland. I sadly cannot remember her name after this experience because there was too much bad to remember. She Had blonde hair and a raspy voice, and was the only nice, kind staff member that actually seemed like she loved her job. And for that, I hope she got out of that facility and is working somewhere that is ready for her skills.the only staff member I can remember by name is "Dakota" he made my life a living hell the entire time I was in there, and all I have to say to him is I hope your daughter, your mother, or any important woman in your life wont ever feel the pain I felt at your words.Mental health is so very important, and this is the last place you want to be to get better.

I look at these reviews honestly about every year since I was there. And nothing has changed. When I was there the nurses DID NOT CARE. I ve been to a few different facility since and nothing has compared to Lakeland. It s very unsettling and uncomfortable. The water for showering was always freezing cold. And they way they would let you clean yourself would be just putting soap on a single wash cloth and that was supposed to clean out body and hair. The nurses are selfish and just awful. The point system was absolutely terrible as well. If we broke a single rule our phone call to our parents was taken. And we only got 2 calls a day for 5 mins. I remember when every time I would eat the food there my stomach would hurt sooo bad. I asked the nurses to help me and they said I stopped eating the food here bc I kept getting sick so it s okay to feed it to the kids??? This place is a joke please please do your research and find somewhere that will actually care about your children.

I just got out of Lakeland, my worst experience was with the nurses. I was begging them to bandage my self harm wounds and the charge nurse told me if you didn t do it, you wouldn t have to look at it . The med nurse refused me my meds multiple times. They also gave one of the girls on my unit the wrong ID bracelet, so she ended up receiving the wrong meds. I got chairs thrown at me, I was threatened to be killed. I was refused phone calls with my family more than once. I have been to multiple hospitals and this is by far the worst one I have ever been to. Please, for your kids sake, do not send them here.

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.
