About Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health Aquinas Center – Farmington
The Aquinas Center in Farmington, Missouri, provides a range of mental health and substance abuse programs through a satellite of Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health. Their philosophy combines proven and progressive treatment modalities while helping those with mental health issues and addictions through personalized care.
The center has multiple outpatient programs to assist many patients with mental health needs. These are community-oriented counseling, crisis stabilization and vocational tracks. The crisis stabilization program provides rapid intervention to support individuals facing acute mental health crises and seeks to avert hospitalization when clinically appropriate.
Their center also brings in a personalized touch, with decor for holidays and comfortable furniture to make their clinical spaces look more home-like befitting Farmington’s small town appeal. There are opportunities to socialize or to just decompress on your own, indoors or outdoors.
The substance abuse program is equally well-rounded, with the Aquinas Center offering strong services through medication assisted treatment (MAT). The program integrates the use of approved medications like methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone for alcohol and opioid use disorders with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT gives clients relief from withdrawal and cravings, so they can begin to focus on their recovery without physical discomfort.
Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health has also developed a broad telehealth system that allows them to provide MAT remotely, making treatment available even for individuals much farther from local providers and helping to fill gaps in addiction treatment coverage across the region.
They also have additional programs. SATOP is conducted jointly with law enforcement personnel. They also have a family program to include loved ones in the recovery process. It includes family therapy, information about substance use and assistance with relationship dynamics during treatment.
The Aquinas Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance plans.
