About Burrell Behavioral Health Murney Clinic – Springfield
Burrell Behavioral Health is a mental health and addiction treatment organization with facilities throughout Missouri. Their Murney Clinic on South Campbell Avenue in Springfield is 10 minutes from the Pythian Castle and offers adult outpatient psychiatry, addiction recovery services, and telehealth visits.
If you’re worried about payment, they accept Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and several other insurance plans. You may also be eligible for financial assistance.
The Comprehensive Substance Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation (CSTAR) protocol is an older model for substance use disorder treatment in Missouri. The CARF accredited facility still uses CSTAR but is integrating the protocol with American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) standards. The ASAM levels of care make it easier for clinicians to better match your needs to the right services.
The facility on South Campbell has addiction recovery services. The outpatient services include group education, group counseling, individual therapy, peer support, and case management. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorder if appropriate.
Psychiatrists on staff will work closely with you to manage your mental health symptoms. If medication is warranted, they’ll help you determine what medications will work best. Depression and other mental health challenges are like any other disease.
Like other diseases, medication is sometimes an effective treatment in conjunction with other treatment modalities, such as therapy. That way, they address any triggers and help you find healthier ways to cope. Before recommending medication, your provider will do a full evaluation that may include psychological testing, lab tests, and a physical exam.
Telehealth services are convenient for clients who can’t get to the office in person. Clients with transportation issues often have difficulty making it to therapy or other appointments. Telehealth visits allow clients who might otherwise not have access to treatment to be seen by professional, licensed psychiatrists.
In between sessions, you can spend some downtime in local attractions. Fassnight Park is right next door to the facility, and you can stretch your legs while playing sports or just unwind.
