Ozark Center – Carthage

The Ozark Center -- Carthage is a behavioral health and addiction care program in the Freeman Health Network. They provide comprehensive care to people of all ages in Carthage, Missouri.

They provide inpatient and outpatient treatment, as well as detoxification services. Medication assisted treatment is available, too. I also want to draw attention to their drug court and court ordered services. The Freeman Health Network encompasses a number of locations and specialties, so they're likely able to address any other healthcare concerns you have.

They accept many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. They can even help the uninsured with a sliding fee scale.

Always Growing With Patients First

The Ozark Center has been operating since the 1960s, joining the Freeman Health Network in the 1990s. In that time they've become the largest mental health provider in the communities they serve. They help thousands of clients find recovery, and they can help you too.

Helping You Become Your Greatest Asset

Patient centered treatment is used a lot to describe a location's services, but what it means isn't always clear. I admire that the Ozark Center explains just what they mean with this philosophy.

Here, treatment is more than targeting your symptoms and diagnosis. Your care team looks at your abilities and strengths, as well as the support you already have, to keep shaping your treatment plan. Of course, they also listen to what you want. What you want from recovery makes a great map for treatment.

Always There When You Need to Help the Most

I think there's great value in a treatment program that helps you outside of your regularly scheduled appointments. After all, you never know when you'll face a challenge.

If you find yourself in a severe crisis, the Ozark Center is there waiting to help. They operate 24 hour crisis services that you can access over the phone, online, or in person. These crisis services offer evaluations and referrals to connect you with additional support as needed.

These crisis services differ from regular treatment sessions in that they are made for immediate, short term solutions to sudden problems. The counselor you speak to works with you to find a solution for the immediate problems regardless of your treatment history.
