About Center for Addictions
The Center for Addictions is the dedicated substance use treatment program within CoxHealth, the Ozarks’ largest community-based health system. Located at 1423 North Jefferson Street in Springfield, Missouri, the program is part of CoxHealth’s behavioral health line and gives adults in Greene County and surrounding counties access to medically supervised detox and structured outpatient care backed by a full hospital network.
Care typically begins with screening and, when clinically appropriate, medically supervised detoxification to manage withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances. Because the Center is embedded in a hospital system, clients with complex medical needs or co-occurring psychiatric conditions can be evaluated and stabilized safely. After detox, clients step down into intensive outpatient and standard outpatient programming, where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual counseling, and group sessions help them build coping skills, repair relationships, and develop a sustainable recovery plan.
The team treats substance use as a chronic condition that responds best to consistent, long-term care. Programming addresses substance-induced trauma, co-occurring depression and anxiety, and the practical challenges of returning to work, family, and community in southwest Missouri. American Sign Language access is provided so Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients can participate fully, and telehealth options support clients who live outside the immediate Springfield area.
The Center for Addictions accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, a wide range of private insurance plans, and self-pay, with sliding-scale options and CoxHealth’s financial-assistance program available to qualifying patients. Admissions and intake screening can be initiated by calling 417-269-2273.
