August is National Wellness Month. It's a reminder that recovery and wellness go hand-in-hand. For those navigating substance use or mental health challenges, wellness means more than just staying substance-free. It’s about building routines that support emotional stability, physical health, and long-term resilience. We treat the whole person through: ✔️ Individualized care plans ✔️ Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) ✔️ Counseling and behavioral health support ✔️ Resources that encourage lasting change Let’s use this month to elevate conversations about wellness and the personalized, compassionate care that makes it possible.

July is National Social Wellness Month, a time to highlight the power of connection in mental health and addiction recovery. For individuals navigating substance use challenges, supportive relationships can be a cornerstone of healing. Whether through peer support, therapy, or community engagement, connection builds resilience. We integrate social wellness into every care plan because long-term recovery isn’t just about treatment, it’s about building a life supported by meaningful connection and trust. 🤝 Let’s take this month to recognize the role connection plays in healing, and uplift the networks that help people thrive. #SocialWellnessMonth #BehavioralHealth #AddictionRecovery #PeerSupport #MentalHealthMatters #RecoveryCommunity

Missouri saw a 27% drop in overdose deaths between January 2024 and January 2025, outpacing national progress. At our OTPs in Cape Girardeau, St. Joseph, St. Charles, and St. Louis, we’re seeing more patients enter and stay in treatment, with fewer missed doses and fentanyl positives. Policy changes that expanded take-home methadone doses and telehealth options have helped personalize care and drive these outcomes. But sustaining this progress depends on continued access to #Medicaid, which covers the majority of our patients. Treatment costs over $500/month per patient. Without Medicaid, many simply couldn’t afford recovery. As policymakers consider Medicaid cuts or new restrictions, we must protect access to what’s working, and saving lives.

This Memorial Day, we would like to take a moment to honor the brave individuals who have given their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice has safeguarded the freedom we often take for granted, and their courage reminds us of what truly unites us all. As we enjoy time with family and friends today, let’s pause to remember their service, their stories, and their enduring legacy. #MemorialDay #RememberAndHonor #Gratitude #NeverForgotten #Courage #Bravery

"If I didn't have Medicaid and the help of the system, I wouldn't have been able to do it alone." Jodie Montplaisir's story is a powerful reminder of how vital Medicaid is for people in addiction recovery.   "I really stuck in with the clinic and doing all of the meetings, all the groups, all my therapy, just really utilizing the clinic … and they really helped me."   With the comprehensive care provided at opioid treatment programs (OTP), proposed barriers to Medicaid could prevent access to this lifesaving treatment. Jodie’s voice matters — and so does protecting this critical support system.
