Verify Insurance
Engage Wellness is an in-network provider with TriCare insurance and works closely with all insurance plans to make your treatment accessible and affordable. We will first determine the level of care you or your loved one may need with a simple initial evaluation. Call today to learn more about individualized treatment plans, costs, and insurance coverage.
Levels of Care
We know there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to care which is why we offer several levels of care to meet you where you are in your recovery journey.
Day Treatment
Day Treatment, also known as a partial hospitalization program (PHP), is the highest level of care we offer at Engage Wellness. This program bridges the gap between inpatient care and traditional outpatient treatment.
Meeting for 5 to 6 hours each day, Day Treatment is a great option for those who need more intensive care and structure but do not have the option of inpatient treatment. At Engage Wellness, we personalize your care by creating treatment plans tailored to your needs.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient program at Engage Wellness is the bridge between full-time care and living your new life right now.
We seamlessly blend part-time treatment with the demanding schedule of your everyday life. Clients will attend multiple sessions per week of individual therapy, group therapy, peer support, and other recovery interventions to enjoy the education and support needed during recovery. Join the community and enjoy your new sober life on your terms.
Outpatient Treatment (OP)
After more intensive levels of care have been completed, the outpatient treatment program follows you into your new sober routine and offers weekly therapy sessions, community access, continuing support and education, and case management assistance.
Your new level of sober independence requires ongoing support for the best chance of success. Live at home, stay in school, or keep up at work while you stay connected with treatment and a trusted circle of peers who are on the same journey and pursuing the same goals.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Early recovery and withdrawal can be physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging. Studies show that the first few weeks and months of recovery carry the highest likelihood of relapse (two-thirds of people in addiction treatment), making it a critical time to get help.[1]
Medication assistant treatment blends healthcare with addiction treatment for symptom relief and practical help. Now, you can focus on treatment and stay on track.
Our team will develop a customized treatment plan based on substance use history, mental health conditions, and overall physical health to determine if and what medications would be beneficial for your path to recovery.
Evidence-Based Therapies & Effective Lifestyle Treatment
Therapy is a central theme of behavioral health and mental health treatment. The interventions we offer are designed to help you cultivate change from the inside out by gaining greater personal insight, learning new coping skills, understanding underlying triggers and causes, and more.
By integrating evidence-based therapies with effective lifestyle treatments and education, you begin to build an entirely new life that looks nothing like the old one. A life you can be proud of and that you’re excited to live. A life free of substance use and one that’s defined by safety, success, and positivity.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a therapy intervention that has redefined the approach to alcohol and drug addiction recovery. This approach recognizes that harmful patterns of behavior first begin as harmful thoughts. You begin to unlearn damaging habits and create new lifestyle patterns by restructuring thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is similar to CBT, but the focus is more on accepting challenging events and circumstances. In DBT, you will learn emotional control, improve interpersonal skills, and overcome harmful behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivation is like a muscle that has to be developed. MI therapy helps you remember what drives you, reconnects you with your values, and helps you cultivate the desire to live more in alignment with who you want to be.
Family Therapy
Recovery is not successful in isolation. Your family, whether relatives or chosen family, is part of your healing process. Additionally, they have healing to do. Taking this journey together improves everyone’s experience and equips you all with the tools to stay strong and healthy together.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
Underlying trauma is often linked to substance and alcohol use disorder. Studies show that the odds of experiencing substance abuse increase by 21.3 % every time someone is exposed to trauma.[2] EMDR helps alleviate the stress associated with trauma so you can experience healing.
Group Therapy
Peer support is critical in recovery. Our treatment center’s recovery community is a diverse group of people in all phases of recovery who all want the same thing: a supportive environment to learn, grow, and overcome alcohol or substance use disorder. Groups will participate in treatment together, learn coping skills, support one another, and gain valuable insights and perspectives on recovery and sobriety.
Veterans Track
Our veterans’ track is designed and run by a veteran in recovery. We understand the unique experience of military personnel and have curated a treatment path that aligns with your needs.
Relapse Prevention Skills
Long-term recovery is supported by practical relapse prevention skills that keep you safe and sober. This dedicated lifestyle treatment helps you navigate cravings, build resilience, and maintain your sobriety for life, not just while you attend our drug rehab in St Louis, Missouri.
Holistic Treatment Interventions
Holistic treatment identifies the underlying causes of drug and alcohol addiction and works to address them from the inside out. These interventions inspire change that helps you become the best version of yourself.
12-Step Groups
The 12-step process is an accountability-based approach to recovery that puts you in control of your healing and sobriety. Working with a group of peers, you will navigate the 12 steps to face your pace, learn more about yourself, reconnect with your values, and build your new life, one step at a time.
What We Treat | Drug & Alcohol Rehab In St. Louis, Missouri
Mental Health
Co-Occurring Disorders
A dual diagnosis describes the experience of someone living with a mental health condition and an alcohol or substance use disorder. Studies show that approximately 13.5 million adults fall into this category.[3] One doesn’t necessarily cause the other, but when these two conditions present together, recovery can be more challenging. We will help you identify and address harmful patterns and root them out of your life with a holistic approach to care and treatment.
Drugs & Alcohol
Substance Use Disorder
Substances like alcohol, opioids, and more cultivate physical and psychological dependency, which makes it increasingly difficult to eliminate them from your life. Data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse states that 46.3 million people in the U.S. have a substance use disorder (2021).[4] Substance abuse treatment is the most effective way to overcome this disorder and create a new, healthy life.
