About CenterPointe Psychiatric & Addiction Hospital – Columbia

CenterPointe Hospital of Columbia offers inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment and mental healthcare for adults and seniors. Located in Columbia, Missouri, they specialize in treating alcohol, opioid and benzodiazepine use disorders.

Fondly called CoMo by residents, Columbia is a college town with a welcoming community. They seem to really care for individuals and families in recovery. You’ll find an abundance of local resources, including peer support and activities that can help you stay connected.

No Appointment Necessary

One of the first features I noticed is the crisis stabilization services. They’re available to anyone who needs urgent help during a mental health crisis, including issues related to substance use. You can access immediate care 24/7, and walk-ins are welcome.

Detox and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) in Columbia

Withdrawal is often the first big challenge you’ll face when you’re trying to start your journey. Quitting substances on your own without medical supervision can make withdrawal more difficult. The supervised medical detox program here is available to adults aged 18 and older.

You’ll be cared for by a team of addiction professionals who have experience helping people through this first stage of recovery. They not only monitor symptoms and progress, but they can also prescribe withdrawal medications through their MAT program.

Targeted Behavioral Healthcare for Seniors

I find a lot of value in the programs for older adults. They really focus on connection and meeting people where they are in this stage of life. Treatment addresses both mental health and addiction, recognizing how closely the two are related for many seniors.

Former Clients Appreciated Personalized Treatment

The admissions team will help you assess your needs during the intake process. Several clients have mentioned how much they appreciate the “individualized care plans and attentive, supportive therapists and nurses” at CenterPointe Hospital of Columbia.

Update #2: It has now been 8weeks with no contact, and my daughter was admitted into MU ER and psych ward to stabilize her from the meds that were prescribed by the doctor at Center point. She has been seen by a knew doctor that did not agree with the previous diagnosis. I understand a medication would need to be adjusted or changed, but a whole new diagnosis??? Shame on you Center Point. Oh yeah, and we received a bill for a 10day stay that cost $22k. No help was actually given from this stay. I would love to know who in charge at the center. They deserve a letter from me. Update: It has now been 3 weeks and not one phone call, we have moved over to Burrell Health, it will take 45 days to see a psychiatrist and the therapy is done tele-health even though we were specific about needing in person. The Bad: Center Point Hospital, and the mental health resources in this city (probably everywhere) My teen is struggling with mental health and begged me for help. I had to take her to an ER in JC, where they admitted her to an inpatient facility mentioned above. She was very willing to go even after reading all the reviews on google. She really wanted a diagnosis and to get treated. 10 days she was in there!! I got one phone call from a Doctor, and that was it!! I talked to my kiddo every day on the phone, but never an employee there. Then she was released, given a very strong antipsychotic med and NO OUTPATIENT information. I was told to follow the discharge outpatient instructions on the papers. There are none, just a phone number, i have called twice a day for 6 days, and noone calls back. With diagnosing of psychological issues, why is there no psychiatric follow up. Now i need to find another doctor and this is not easy, this why we ended up in the ER. Her pediatrician has thankfully filled a prescription to remain on the meds for a month, but she cannot continue that without a psychiatrist. Insurance was a big deal, but now MU and BCBS have merged together again last week, so our next steps are finding proper help. Sadly all the list of places have similar reviews. I have a smart teen with family history of mental illness, she is willing to get help and accept her flaws moving forward. We are needing a good Doctor.

My experience here was by far the most traumatizing and horrific experience yet. I acted out on impulse and was sent here after being held at my local hospital overnight. The only good nurse here was Renee, as she advocated for me to be discharged home to my family. (Which I believe would help me in the long run, better.) the amount of horrific things I had to watch: patients being sedated right in the open, constant fights and belligerent behavior, and no tech or nurses followed up to make sure we were okay, one of which happening at breakfast and I was in the middle of it and was personally affected by it. I was not once asked nor was any other patient assessed to make sure we were okay. I went voluntary with the “right to request to leave AMA” but when I asked, I was threatened with a 96hr hold. I was also told if I did not take the Wellbutrin and Ambilify I was pressured to take, I’d be held there longer. There was absolutely no remorse to the constant plead to go home or my emotions. There was absolutely NO communication and you were left with so many questions as it felt YOU were inconveniencing the staff. I would not send a rock here. This places deserves nothing but to be shut down.

Just like everywhere, remember it’s a business designed to turn a profit FIRST! They are completely outnumbered and it’s only going to get worse. That being said, there was a mix of “good” and “bad” staff. The day nurses were really helpful and caring, the night nurse staff were rude, visibly frustrated by environment and workload and not a pleasure at all to be around. The doctor I saw was very compassionate and helpful but the social worker was young, lacked experience and she too was visibly frustrated. I was given information which upon discharge I learned to be false and was told resources had been set up to A: provide medical assistance which they transported me to over two hours late missing my appointment and absolutely stranded B: that I had received temporary Medicaid which I did not receive C: and finally arrangements had been made in advance to shelter overnight at The Room At the Inn which had not been made as I discovered it is a first come first serve establishment leaving me severely injured and on the streets. Lastly, while in their care I was threatened multiple times by a young and violent 20 something male, twice in front of staff and when I reported it nothing was addressed and when I reported it again I was told the head nurse would speak with me but instead the next day I was given the previously mentioned false information and discharged ASAP with no help for my mental instability. There was decent and plentiful meals, nearly 90% of techs were pleasant and easy to communicate with and I was very pleased with the day morning nurse staff. It is absolutely not an ideal place, not a place I recommend and in my opinion, they bus in Medicaid patients from all over the state, milk all the money they can from the state and turn away those individuals simply medicated once they no longer qualify for treatment. Like I said, it’s corporate medicine/treatment intended to turn a profit before helping people truly get well.

Accepted Insurance

CenterPointe Psychiatric & Addiction Hospital – Columbia works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

TRICARE

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

24-Hour Clinical Care

Due to the potential for severe withdrawal symptoms, it is important to detox in a facility with 24-hour clinical care in Missouri. Most people experience some form of withdrawal symptoms, and this setting offers medical professionals who are on site 24/7 to provide any necessary treatment. This supervision makes the detox process safer and less painful and improves the likelihood of a successful recovery.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehabs provide a safe, supportive environment for clients to focus on their recovery secure from outside distractions, stressors, and triggers. Clients receive housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision. They also engage in extensive addiction counseling, often including group and family therapy. Many programs prioritize recovery-focused life skills training to support clients' reintegration into their home, workplace, school, and community. Evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga, acupuncture, meditation, hypnotherapy, or animal therapy, may also be provided.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs provide an intermediate level of care, often supporting clients' transition from inpatient rehab to outpatient treatment. Most IOP programs require a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly, but clients may receive up to 20 hours of care, with the intensity and frequency of care declining as clients grow stronger in their sobriety. Intensive outpatient treatment generally combines addiction counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and, for some, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the process of ridding the body of addictive substances under the supervision of licensed medical professionals. An expert medical team, which may include physicians, nurses, clinical staff, and therapists, will monitor your vitals, help maximize your comfort and safety, and provide medication if necessary to help mitigate the symptoms of withdrawal. The length of the process varies depending on your needs.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehab enables clients to continue to work, attend school, or reside at home while undergoing treatment, including addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Evening, night, and weekend sessions are available at many facilities to ensure continuous access to care on the client's schedule. Many centers also offer ancillary services, such as career coaching and peer mentoring, to promote clients' sustained recovery and community integration. Higher-level outpatient treatment, including intensive outpatient (IOP) care, is also widely available.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Designed for individuals who don't require 24/7 monitoring, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides intensive-level treatment while allowing you to stay at home. PHP treatment typically requires a commitment of at least 20 hours of treatment per week for an average duration of 90 days. Services commonly offered in PHP include medication management and evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Insurance coverage for PHP treatment may vary depending on your provider.

Treatments

Individuals who suffer from alcoholism drink to the extent that they harm themselves or others and have an impaired ability to stop drinking. Their alcohol use disorder may be classified as mild, moderate, or severe. At any level, alcohol rehab in Missouri can help individuals overcome alcohol addiction. Treatment includes physiological, psychological, and social aspects to provide comprehensive care that leads to long-term recovery.

Drug rehab in Missouri usually involves several phases: detox, rehab, and aftercare. The rehab phase may include a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatments, as the individual moves through a continuum of care on their recovery journey.

Mental Health And Substance Abuse

Opioid Addiction

Substance abuse treatment programs in Missouri help individuals struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. These programs utilize evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. With a range of treatment options available, including outpatient, inpatient, and residential programs, you can find the right program to meet your unique needs and improve your quality of life.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Animal Therapy

Sessions of creative arts therapy can take place in a group or in a one on one format. Settings include a therapist's office, day centers, hospitals, and rehab treatment facilities in Missouri.

A complete course of dialectical behavior therapy typically takes six months. Skills training happens in a group setting. You'll also attend weekly individual treatment sessions to receive coaching from a therapist. You'll work on understanding and accepting your feelings and learn how to manage them to make positive changes.

Experiential therapy is not limited to one type of intervention. It includes a variety of hands on interventions that focus on creativity, emotions, personal interactions, and reflection. These activities can bring attitudes and feelings to the surface that are otherwise buried and allow you to work through them and learn from them.

Family therapy sessions help individual family members in Missouri learn to improve their communication skills and understand how the family dynamic is both affected by addiction and affects their loved one's addiction. Therapists work with individual members to identify and modify negative behaviors which helps create a more supportive home environment.

Peer support within a group therapy session in Missouri allows you to interact with your peers who are also struggling with drug addiction. You can share your stories and learn how to express your emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. These strategies help to reduce your feelings of isolation which are often associated with addiction.

Motivational interviewing is a short term method often used during drug rehab in Missouri. It typically lasts one or two sessions, with the goal of facilitating conversation about change. The client should leave the sessions feeling more decisive and secure in their ability to make the changes they desire in their life.

One star is too high of a rating for this ...place. can't even call it a hospital. There were some decent staff who were doing some of the right things, I genuinely enjoyed talking to fellow patients and doing my best to uplift them. But overall, those decent workers cannot make up for what I saw there. What *I* personally experienced. First off, everyone except TWO people listened to me. I have a background in psychology. I worked in group homes for several years even going into management towards the end. I know my patient rights. But I think I should start from the beginning. Most of the techs did not give a single care about the patients. Just the paycheck. The nurses were extremely incompetent, but managed somehow to get my pharmacy's worth of medication right when I was given it, but that's unfortunately not the same for everyone. There was another patient who somehow was given 180 MG OF AMPHETAMINES. AMPHETAMINES!!! The patient told me she was on 60mg, the highest dose therapeutically prescribed. Somehow a nurse was so unbelievably incompetent and careless that they tripled the dose of a dangerous controlled substance. What if she were to have a heart attack? Which could've been very possible. That alone is wrong in so many ways. Second off, people were given tranquilizing shots for seemingly minimal levels of maladaptive behavior as if the staff were too lazy or incompetent to address behaviors with deescalation tactics and communication. Initially, I didn't even want to go here. I had a PTSD episode that also induced some scary psychosis symptoms and went to St Luke's in Kansas City just to be somewhere safe to be monitored for a few hours until I felt safe again. St Luke's then refused to release me after my mental eval, making excuses and running around the idea of leaving AMA. That's a whole other thing. So I got sent here. While being admitted, I was sobbing uncontrollably as I did not believe it was necessary I was there. Again, nobody listened as I begged to be released reasonably and threatened a 96 hour hold if I wanted to leave AMA. I eventually was able to calm myself enough by the time I reached the ward. Immediately I witnessed people being mistreated and it wasn't long until I was. I kept having extreme PTSD episodes and were simply dismissed by the staff and they just drugged me with benzos to shut me up because nobody wants to communicate or give me help coping with the issues. That's a common theme in this whole experience. Nobody listens or communicates. As the days passed I begged to be seen by social workers and a doctor so that I could explain why I'm safe to go home. Nobody listened and were extremely dismissive. It took a day and a half at least to see a social worker, and two and a half to see the doctor. I appreciate the social worker, I'll give her that. She listened and was genuinely trying to help me. The doctor was worthless and horrendous at his job. Should not have ever been given a PhD. Did not listen, dismissed my logical and reasonable requests. Acted as if I were an idiot who didn't know anything. Gaslit me. I then told him I wanted to leave AMA because the hospital was worsening my mental health. That was met with him angrily threatening a 96 hour hold and being extremely rude while saying all that. Eventually, after being calm, collected, and reasonable, I freaked out when the doctor became abusive. I yelled, not illogically, but I screamed out my feelings and my logical points. All the social workers, doctors, nurses, and techs spilled out of the staff door and apparently, getting loud and aggressive right back to them got my word across finally. I was released the morning after. I was given paper prescriptions by the doctor, two of them being controlled substances. Somehow the doctor was so incompetent that he wrote a very commonly prescribed prescription completely wrong. And I had to play a wild goose chase in order to get any answers or solutions. I'm not done. More in the replies.

been here 5+ times and I love some nurses and staff and I met some interesting staff and nurses that should be fired but otherwise I prefer this than most other mental hospitals I've been at besides MU health (Jada socialworker gain nurse eddie and other staff where very nice let me use my room to calm down during mental breakdowns instead of the quiet room)

We appreciate all feedback we receive. Thank you so much for sharing this review!

My daughter has been her twice now and to the one in Saint Charles I have no idea what the issue is but the communication is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! No updates, I never spoke to a doctor or nurse normally when she’s in inpatient I get a phone call a day or every other day this place nothing, they have GOT to work on better communication also some the people who answer the phone need to be retrained, some are nice and some are very rude. Also we do not live anywhere near the locations so when it comes to discharge we need to be prepared and we called and called to see if we could just come get her since it’s the weekend and no one called us back, finally at 7 pm we get a call that’s she’s approved to leave…. It was midnight before she got home, again I have no idea what the problem is but both locations suck at communicating. When she has mental crisis and goes to the er I have told them to never send her back to the one in Saint Charles well she will not be going to this location now either!

Evette Clayton

Trifling staff and gave me a HALF ASSED doctors note. In fact, the doctor couldn't even be bothered to write the doctor's note I need. I called 9 times and could only reach the social worker, which was not what I needed.
