About Saint Lukes Hospital of Kansas City Crittenton Childrens Center
If you’re in the Kansas City, Missouri area you might already be familiar with St. Luke’s Hospital and their broad health care network. What you might not know about though is their adolescent addiction treatment program at their Crittenton Children’s Center.
This intensive outpatient program for adolescents helps clients ages 12-20 with drug and alcohol addiction. They use a unique model called the Hazelden Matrix Model for Teens and Young Adults, which is a holistic approach that addresses the physical and psychological needs but also social and spiritual needs. In doing this, they don’t just get your child sober. They promote dignity and self worth to empower your child for a healthy life in recovery.
What I find especially important here is that they incorporate comprehensive support for families too. Through your child’s program, you’ll have a better understanding of your kids’ addictions and will know exactly how to help them throughout their recovery. They can also coordinate with your teen’s school and court personnel and other third parties as needed.
