Family Education Group

This group is offered weekly as a way of bringing families into the recovery process. The group assists a family in coping with their loved one’s addiction and addresses generational issues. This service allows a family to enhance communication and coping skills while indentifying family strengths. 

Families who live far away are able to communicate with the counseling staff and their loved one through web-based teleconferencing. Please contact us for more information about this option.

Couples and Family Counseling

Professional staff make appointments available to help family members begin to repair the damage that has been created by substance abuse and addiction. We know that involving a loved one in the recovery process adds to the positive long term outcomes of treatment.

Project APEX Adolescent Treatment

Provides one-on-one outpatient treatment to adolescents and young adults ages 12 through 20. The program is designed to include sessions with parents or caregivers. This nationally recognized treatment model, A-CRA,  is a positive, strengths-based approach with proven results in increasing social stability and decreasing substance use and depression.

Project Reach Out

Project Reach Out is a three year Missouri Foundation for Health grant that expands APEX to adolescents under 21 residing in rural areas within a 40 mile radius of Columbia.  Counties include rural Boone, Callaway, Cooper,  Howard, and Moniteau.  Project Reach Out is a free, family centered outpatient treatment program that targets at risk youth providing home visits and case management activities directed at actively linking the adolescent to needed services.  The program uses A-CRA (Assertive Community Reinforcement Approach) coupled with ACC (Assertive Continuing Care) model to increase access to integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment.  Research indicates clients who have completed similar six-month programs have been more likely to: improve psychological stability and decrease psychological distress; reduce substance use and abuse; improve educational level and employment; increase health functioning and decrease legal involvement.
