Ozark Center/New Directions provides multiple levels of care to meet diverse treatment needs and recovery stages. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to receive counseling, therapy, and support services while maintaining employment, family responsibilities, and community connections. Partial hospitalization or day treatment offers more intensive care for those requiring structured therapeutic environments without overnight stays, making it ideal for individuals with unstable housing or significant symptom severity. The facility also specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, recognizing that substance use and mental health conditions often occur together and require integrated, simultaneous care. All programs are designed to address each person's unique needs and circumstances while fostering long-term recovery and stability.
Ozark Center/New Directions accepts a comprehensive range of payment options to ensure treatment remains financially accessible. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and state-financed programs, as well as Access to Recovery vouchers. Additionally, self-payment options and sliding fee scales are available for uninsured or underinsured individuals. Insurance coverage for substance abuse and mental health treatment is protected under federal parity laws, meaning your insurance plan cannot place greater restrictions on behavioral health benefits than medical or surgical benefits. Cost should never be a barrier to recovery—Ozark Center/New Directions is committed to working with you to find an affordable payment arrangement.
