About Samuel U Rodgers Health Center Downtown Campus

Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center Downtown Campus provides high-quality, compassionate and low-cost integrated healthcare for all. Behavioral health services in their Downtown Campus in Kansas City, Missouri, include addiction and substance use support or counseling. This is an outpatient program that aims to help you overcome life’s challenges, find balance and thrive.

Their behavioral health consultants work alongside medical providers to assess your needs for substance use treatment. They may refer you to community providers that offer high intensity treatment if you have severe substance use or a mental health crisis. Otherwise you’ll receive personalized outpatient group and family counseling in their behavioral health department. I like that you can access counseling from your home using their secured telehealth support.

Their group counseling connects you with folks dealing with similar behavioral challenges in a supportive setting. It encourages open discussion where you can share experiences, listen to others and gain a fresh recovery perspective. Hearing others’ successes and setbacks can give you insights you might not get on your own. You can build communication skills, learn how to solve problems, manage stress/anger and make better decisions. These are core skills that promote sober living while preventing relapse.

Their group treatment is also a great avenue to build friendships/relationships based on mutual support that lasts a lifetime. It’s also motivating to see people at different stages of recovery. Just knowing you’re not alone in the journey can make a big difference.

Their family counseling focuses on building back trust, opening up communication and strengthening bonds with loved ones. It’s also all about resolving conflicts and educating your loved ones about addiction and how to support you in recovery. It inspires positive family dynamics that strengthen your support network.

The facility also offers counseling for domestic violence, marital/relationship problems and parenting challenges that may be connected with substance misuse. They also address anger management, sexual abuse and teen issues. They can provide linkage to various resources that support your recovery efforts. This includes housing and utility assistance, health insurance coverage and food assistance. The latter encompasses food stamps and local pantry programs.
