Elizabeth Layton Center

About Elizabeth Layton Center

Elizabeth Layton Center is a community behavioral health provider in Ottawa, Kansas, serving residents of Miami and Franklin Counties with integrated mental health and substance use care. They help people working to overcome addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or smoking, and they also offer support for the family members affected. Their approach involves clients and families in treatment planning, aims to deliver care in normalized settings that respect personal dignity, and works to reduce the stigma around mental illness.

Substance use services include individual and family counseling, counseling for spouses and adolescents, recovery groups, and evaluation with referral to other resources when needed. For people facing co-occurring conditions, they provide dual diagnosis education and treatment that addresses mental health and substance use together. They also conduct substance abuse evaluations for legal proceedings at set fees, which may help anyone navigating court requirements. Beyond addiction care, adults can access individual, group, couples, and family therapy focused on skills such as communication, problem solving, crisis resolution, and stress management, along with psychiatric medication evaluation and monitoring by a psychiatrist or advanced practice registered nurse, often coordinated with the client’s family physician.
