Safety Net Care in Lawrence

I noticed that Bert Nash is the designated community mental health center for Douglas County, Kansas, and a certified community behavioral health clinic for the county. They'll see you even if you can't cover the cost.

This mean you can weigh treatment even when the full cost is out of reach. Plus, there are walk-in hours, and they suggest coming in as early as possible. If you've got health insurance, they ask you to bring the card with you.

I like that they also run the Treatment and Recovery Center in Lawrence, and it's open around the clock. You don't need an appointment to receive care.
