About the Facility
Ozark Center -- New Directions is a private drug and alcohol addiction recovery center in Joplin, Missouri. They specialize in stabilization and treatment services for clients with substance use disorder (SUD). They are a medical facility with clinical amenities. New Directions is part of the Freeman Health System, and as such, clients can gain access to a broad spectrum of additional healthcare services. They have a specialized treatment course for opioid use disorder.
Clients may be required to complete detox before entering a treatment program. New Directions provides medically monitored detox, where clients reside at the facility under the supervision of a personal medical team. As they work through withdrawal symptoms, clients receive ongoing support and direct care, which may include medication. Once a client is demonstrably stable, they continue to the next level of care.
The residential program is for clients with severe symptoms who need a controlled, monitored environment to be receptive to treatment. Clients live at the facility while in the program, where staff can supervise them 24 hours a day. Clients do not leave during this period with staff and do not continue working or attending school.
Clients work with their care team to shape a treatment plan for their needs. Treatment focuses on therapy and education groups, which aim to help clients uncover their addiction triggers, better understand the nature of addiction, teach better communication skills through peer group activities, and develop supportive coping and life skills.
Ozark Center also offers a variety of services on an outpatient basis. These include education and support groups. Outpatient care is for clients who are stable enough not to need constant supervision, so they live at home while attending the facility to receive treatment.
Ozard Center treats opioid addiction through FDA approved medications that help reduce or eliminate cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Clients receiving MAT are closely monitored for adverse effects and proper dosage. MAT is an effective supplement to inpatient and outpatient care, making clients more receptive to treatment.

Levels of Care
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.
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.
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).
Clinical Services
Family Therapy
Substance use afflicts not only the addicted person, but has disruptive and devastating effects upon family members. The family suffers symptoms like the addicted individual, such as denial, guilt, anxiety and alienation. It is crucial to the addict's recovery that the family's needs be addressed while the individual is treated. Family treatment services include therapy, education, support groups, co-dependency counseling and group counseling.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
