Located in Independence, Missouri, part of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, CMHS offers residential and outpatient programs customized to an individual’s needs through its various facilities and also specializes in dual diagnosis support for co-occurring disorders.
Gateway and Renaissance West—one of Kansas City’s longest standing and most successful treatment programs—treat men for substance abuse while Residential West provides inpatient services for women and their children, including pregnant and postpartum women. The CSTAR program is specifically tailored to the needs of adolescents ages 12 through 18, dealing with substance abuse issues through intensive, community-based outpatient treatment.
