Ozark Center Crisis Services

Located in Joplin, Missouri, the Ozark Center Crisis Services operate under Freeman Health System, which is one of the region's largest and most comprehensive providers of behavioral health care. You can call the crisis center free of charge to speak with a trained professional who will help connect you to the services provided at seperate Ozark Center locations for ongoing support.

Referrals Through the Crisis Helpline

The crisis hotline is available 24/7, and you can call in for yourself or a loved one experiencing symptoms of a behavioral health challenge. These services are designed as a short term solution for more robust needs and serve as the primary point of entry for individuals who will then move into the New Directions Joplin program. Once you're in the program, you'll work one on one with addiction counselors, develop your recovery skills, and create a plan of action that will help you maintain your sobriety.

Extensive Addiction Treatment Services

When clients are referred to one of Ozark Center’s New Directions facilities in Joplin, they’ll have access to a variety of addiction treatment services to help with their recovery. Some options that may be a part of your treatment plan include medical detoxification services, residential treatment, and drug court services.

Recovery In a Rural Environment

Although Joplin is a growing community, it is still relatively quiet and family oriented, making it a perfect place to turn to as you work through addiction recovery. The town itself has a rich history, and you can explore that history at the Joplin Museum Complex. The Carver Trail at the George Washington Carver National Monument and iconic waterways like Grand Falls are other attractions that can give you a glimpse into the past of this one of a kind town.
