Memorial Health System

About Memorial Health System

Memorial Health System is a hospital based behavioral health and addiction treatment provider in Abilene, Kansas serving individuals with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health needs. The facility offers outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient programming and 24/7 crisis stabilization services. Memorial Health System takes an integrated and evidence based approach to care, coordinating medical, mental health and addiction services within a broader community health network.

Dual Diagnosis Care

Treatment begins with a comprehensive substance use evaluation to assess the severity of alcohol or drug use and any co-occurring mental health concerns. From there, I want to note that clients may transition into outpatient therapy or a more structured intensive outpatient program that provides multiple sessions per week while allowing individuals to live at home and maintain work or family responsibilities.

Services include individual therapy and group counseling, medication management and case management to help coordinate community resources and ongoing support. I like that Memorial Health System emphasizes dual focus care, ensuring that both substance use and mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety are addressed simultaneously through evidence based therapy approaches and family involvement when appropriate.
