We are living witnesses of how mediocre can people be and also how incompetent they are, there are so many things that need to improve in order for this to be the right place to be treated. I don't recommend it to anyone at all!
About Preferred Family Healthcare – Kirksville
Staff members will recommend residential substance use treatment in more severe cases of substance abuse. The facility will likely have clients follow a structured schedule that includes multiple sessions of individual and group counseling. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) is for individuals who either no longer need residential treatment or have a less severe case of addiction. Along with individual and group therapy, the IOP includes case management support and group education.
At a minimum, patients attend individual counseling sessions at least twice a month. Group therapy and education sessions will occur nine hours a week. In addition to these services, medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also offered at this facility. This treatment combines medications and behavioral therapy to help with addiction recovery. The medication administered is designed to reduce symptoms of withdrawal. Additionally, clients have the option of receiving treatment through telehealth technology based on individual needs.

I can reference from experience back in two thousand back in two thousand two when I live there. It smelled like urine and the staff was not doing their job with the exception of two people. And the higher up people there did not care about the patient's staying there.All they cared about was turning a profit. I would recommend not going there because I was also at their place in trenton missouri , they were very rude and liars they lied throughout thirteenth and they turned anything and twisted it. If you love your loved one you would not come here because they will get your loved one under guardianship in the heartbeat. The place itself is outdated.It is not been updated back in ₩20002000 in 2002.It's run down , they need to build a new building or close it
If you love your children don’t take them here
Their solutions to getting them mental help when you have a situation is to call the police
They promise to call you back and never do
Definitely not a place to get the help you need

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.

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.

Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Many families in Southwest Missouri (Greene, Barry, Lawrence, and Stone counties) have substance abuse challenges impacting the well-being of their children. Without intervention, these children are at risk of removal from their home. Once children have been taken out of a home, families often face a difficult road to reunification.
