About Centrec Care Inc
Founded in 1986, Centrec Care of St. Louis, Missouri, is an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab for adults and teens. Accredited by The Joint Commission and certified by the Missouri Departments of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, they emphasize the importance of family both in treatment atmosphere and involvement in the recovery process. Patients reported that this nonthreatening approach allows them to relax and be comfortable in a homelike setting.
Detox Seven Days a Week
They offer medically supervised detox through their Ambulatory Detoxification Program, as well as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) with Suboxone and Vivitrol. Running seven days a week, their program is the only one in the St. Louis area that provides detoxification services through the weekend.
Clients also participate in their “A 12 step Journey to Wellness” program. This is an educational program designed to build the skills necessary to living a sober lifestyle. It centers on helping the whole person, body and mind.
It helps that St. Louis has some neat attractions to supplement your recovery in a wholesome way. Centrec Care is in a commercial part of town, but local rec centers aren’t too far away. Check out the Old Farm Swimming Pool and the Community Pool, which are within driving distance.
Education Instead of Blame
Their approach is not to preach blame, but instead to focus on education and self awareness. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) and partial hospitalization program (PHP) do this through a combination of individual case management and interactive group therapy. Patients say they take the time to learn a client’s entire life story, so as to better understand their problems and co-occurring disorders. Evening sessions are also available for their outpatient services.
They claim a relapse ratio of only 8-12 percent upon successful completion of their program.

Accepted Insurance
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs


Clinical Services
Centrec Care’s Group therapy can involve one or more therapists working with multiple people at the same time. The number of participants may range from 2-20 people. The group can be comprised of members who are at different stages in the treatment process. The group will typically have individuals who are suffering from varying behavioral health afflictions (depression, anxiety, stress), or substance abuse (alcohol, opiates, sedatives). Centrec Care has a structured menu of subject matter that the therapist will teach to the group members. The educational process will provide a better understanding of their problems and prepare the critical ground work for developing essential coping skills. They promote discussion in a highly interactive, energy charged exchange of ideas. The setting is safe and supportive, allowing group members to experiment without the fear of failure.
Upon entry into Centrec Cares Program each individual will be assigned a therapist who will conduct individual therapeutic sessions. The therapist will work to build a trusting relationship that will allow the patient to express his or her thoughts and emotions, while gaining insight into his or her behavioral health issues. A treatment plan will materialize based upon the information uncovered during these sessions. The plan will be modified as new and relevant characteristics are exposed by the individual, assisting in attaining a successful treatment outcome. Their approach to individual therapy is interactive in style and based on the concept that understanding and coming to terms with emotions is essential to effective problem solving and personal growth.
Within a trauma therapy environment, you have a structured approach to healing from past traumatic events that you witnessed or experienced. You are guided to understand your response and then develop healthier coping skills and mechanisms that Foster greater empowerment and recovery.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Family therapy is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. Centrec Care’s approach to therapy is not to assign fault or blame on the individual or family. They believe that regardless of the problem and who may be responsible for the friction, the family unit will be guided towards uncovering solutions to the issues. This involvement of families is commonly accomplished by their direct participation in the therapy session. Their trained professionals use their skills to influence conversation, promote interaction and stimulate dialogue between the parties participating in the session.
