• Comprehensive treatment options: From outpatient counseling and psychiatric and neuropsychological care to inpatient psychiatric care, our programs help people through a vulnerable and difficult time in their lives. We offer a range of recovery and wellness groups, as well as pet therapy, music and art interventions and regular tutoring for inpatient children.

• Comprehensive discharge planning: We involve your primary care and other health providers in your treatment and discharge planning. Our multi-disciplinary teamworks with you to create a discharge plan that sets you up for success in your continued recovery. This plan includes connecting you with appropriate mental health resources.

• Nonprofit status: Blessing Hospital is not-for-profit, so we accept patients regardless of their ability to pay. We accept Medicaid-managed care panels for Missouri, Illinois and Iowa.
