Behavioral Health Group (BHG) of Joplin

BHG Joplin Treatment Center, short for Behavioral Health Group, is an outpatient opioid treatment facility in Joplin, Missouri. BHG is the largest network of outpatient opioid treatment facilities accredited by the Joint Commission in the country.

Their mission is to give as many people as possible access to evidence based behavioral and medical therapies for addiction. The treatment they believe to be the most effective in helping their patients is medication assisted treatment (MAT). While medication assists in the treatment process, the Joplin Treatment Center knows that individual and group counseling is also necessary to move patients forward in their recovery.

Your recovery care team will consist of nurses, counselors and other support staff. They’ll advise and guide you through your treatment, striving to be the best possible partner in your recovery. If medication is determined to be necessary for your withdrawal then you’ll have the option of taking methadone or Suboxone. You’ll get your doses of these medications at the facility, with the possibility of earning take home privilges with methadone after you’ve stabilized.

When you have time between treatment sessions, some of the fun things you can do in Joplin include visiting Grand Falls or going to the Route 66 Mural Park. Downtown also has some colorful art galleries and diverse restaurants where you can enjoy some fine dining.

The Joplin Treatment Center knows that co-occurring issues can sometimes affect those with opioid use disorder.
