Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center

About Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center

Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center is a community behavioral health provider based in Iola, Kansas, serving a six-county area of southeast Kansas with outpatient mental health and substance use care. They take a whole-person approach, treating addiction alongside conditions that often accompany it, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Their substance use services include diagnostic evaluations, education, and individual and group counseling for adults, adolescents, and concerned parents, delivered by licensed addiction counselors at offices in Iola, Garnett, Chanute, Pleasanton, and Fort Scott. A crisis intervention team is also available around the clock for anyone in emotional distress.

For people struggling with opioids, they offer an outpatient medication-assisted treatment program that pairs buprenorphine (Suboxone) with counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and group support in a trauma-informed setting. Every patient starts with an intake appointment with a chemical abuse counselor, and treatment plans are tailored to each person, with medication lasting anywhere from several months to years and providers helping with pain management when needed. They also have a state-certified gambling treatment counselor who works with people affected by gambling addiction and their family members, with services funded by the State Gambling Fund. Additional support includes family and couples therapy, groups on topics like anger management, and telehealth visits that make care easier to reach in rural communities.
