About Crawford County Mental Health Center
Crawford County Mental Health Center in Pittsburg, Kansas, provides residential and outpatient services for individuals who need treatment for substance use disorder. The center has been in operation since 1961 and is staffed with over 250 healthcare professionals. They offer same day walk in appointments for you to receive your initial assessment and get a referral to the appropriate level of care.
The facility provides both social detox and medication assisted treatment. Social detox is a short term service where medical professionals will help support you through withdrawal without the use of medication. If it’s determined a client is higher risk and would benefit more from medication then the center can provide the client medication assisted treatment. This service involves the use of medication to reduce withdrawal symptoms combined with counseling to teach coping skills and prevent relapse.
In the intensive and non intensive outpatient treatment services, you’ll be treated with evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. These practices will be used in both group and individual counseling. The goal of these treatments is to help improve lifestyle and behavioral problems that can undermine your recovery. I like that the facility also has staff members that are trained in other helpful therapeutic approaches, such as eye movement desensitization and accelerated resolution therapy.
Crawford County Mental Health Center offers a residential facility specifically for women. Clients will receive counseling and classes to give them the tools they need for recovery. Reintegration services are also available, where staff members will help clients work toward obtaining work, documentation for employment and housing.
Case management services are also available to help men and women access community resources to support their recovery. While you’re outside of treatment, you can take time to check out great attractions in Pittsburg such as the Crawford County Historical Museum and the Wilderness Park.
