About Region 8 Mental Health Services

Region 8 Mental Health Services in Brandon, Missouri, provides extensive alcohol and drug abuse treatment to men and women 18 and older. Their treatment program follows a cognitive behavioral therapy model that helps clients to understand the true nature of addiction and teaches them coping skills as a healthy alternative. Their facilities are private, with a calming atmosphere and modern amenities that promote relaxation.

Region 8 provides two levels of care: inpatient residential and intensive outpatient (IOP). The residential program serves men and women but houses them in gender specific lodging during the program.

Clients who are accepted into the residential program live in a large, home like setting for the duration of the program, which varies based on need. The staff works with each client to develop a care plan highlighting a structured daily treatment schedule focused on their needs. Individual, group, and family therapy are at the core of Region 8’s program.

Other daily activities include educational programs, vocational rehabilitation and training, exercise, and social events. Programs are designed to encourage client interaction so that they can support one another as they progress through the program. In addition, residents are monitored throughout their stay to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.

Clients who don’t have severe symptoms may be referred to the IOP program. During treatment, they will visit the facility to meet with their team for a few hours daily on regularly scheduled days. They still receive the same forms of treatment as the residential program, but they do not live on campus.

IOP is broken into three phases. The first is focused on addiction education and showing clients how their addiction has harmed them and those around them. Phase two is an eight week curriculum exploring relapse prevention strategies and methods. During phase three, staff collaborates with their team to design a two year aftercare program.

For inpatient and outpatient programs, aftercare includes continuing therapy sessions on an outpatient basis. Aftercare planning will connect clients to community resources supportive of recovery, like 12 step meetings.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

For those seeking help with addiction, a drug rehab in Mississippi offers the necessary care to achieve long-term recovery. Options include inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and long-term drug rehab in Mississippi.

check iconDual 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 iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

inpatient-file iconCognitive 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 iconCouples 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 iconDialectical 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.

family iconFamily 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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

life-skills iconLife 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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

Counselors tend to be a bit harsh and too strict with the program, but everything they do is for the good of the people.

Who tells patients they will have to see a therapist on the day of their appointment just to see the doctor. My son visits this location every 3months, I have not been advised he should see a therapist at none of these appointments. This place is exactly what the reviews say. A JOKE, the front desk staff isn't no better.

I thank God I started going to Region 8. They have helped me so very much. I did have a few therapist that were not the right fit for me, so I requested a change and now I have been seeing the same one for over a year and have finally started seeing improvement. Everyone there has been great. The front desk staff are not the best but you find people who are not that nice at any place. The people who are there to help in the back have always been wonderful to me.

Region 8 is nothing but drug dealers who get you hooked on pills then turn around and offer drug rehabilitation services. What they do to people should be illegal.

Dont go here, the people at the front and the people answering the phones are insanely rude and miserable. Will go out of their way to not help you. Go somewhere where they can at least staff the face of their clinic correctly, regions 8 is at a loss here.

If there is anywhere else you can go don t go to region 8. They could care less about the people they are supposed to serve.

Region 8 is suppose to be an affordable way to get mental health for lower income. I don't understand why the sliding scale is minimum $75 or why it's required to have monthly therapy on top of the cost of seeing the psychologist when you have been diagnosed. A monthly cost of $75 plus the fee of the psychologist visit being an additional $75. Explain to me in what way this is affordable for lower income families??

They'll fraud medicaid all day long (don't worry, the have the 'best lawyers' as told during orientation when you get a job there), but God forbid a stepparent bring in a child, who will be 18 years old in less than 3 months, for mental health services. That's my personal complaint, but I would never recommend Region 8. The staff is like a revolving door and their caseloads are extremely full. You will go months without seeing a therapist, but medicaid will be billed, just keep an eye on your explaination of benefits

Worst experience ever. Came out with more anxiety and hopelessness. Prescribed a medication she said "had zero side effects". The tens of thousands of ppl who reported side effects disagree. Horrible side effects like night terrors and sleep paralysis. Steer clear of Natalie Moody NP. She had no clue what she is doing. Pushing pills for profit. Her tone was hostile until she heard my insurance carrier, then her eyes lit up. What a complete and total joke.

I went for a drug and alcohol screening, paid in full service, they explained at the time the only way they would see me is if I paid up front, now all of the sudden I have a collections bill for the services rendered that I FULLY PAID FOR, avoid this place at all costs there are many other places in the area that will not be this shady when it comes to business. I highly do NOT recommend to go here for anything!!! If I could rate a 0 I would
