Thank God I found this place! They not only helped my get and stay sober, they also helped me reconnect with my family and repair the relationships that were destroyed by my addiction. The staff is awesome, compassionate, supportive, and professional—they helped me every step of the way. I've never been to another treatment center before this one, but I've heard enough stories and have compared notes with enough people who have to learn I made the right move by coming to Midwest Institute for Addiction! They saved my life and made it worth living again. I have never felt so grateful.
I attended Northbound Outpatient Treatment in Kirkwood, and completed their three month program. Having been to several treatments over the years, Northbound was far and away the most effective treatment that I have ever participated in. They have some of the best counselors, not to mention people in general, that I have ever met. They genuinely care about their clients, and show that with a willingness to be available to them day or night, even outside of normal program hours. Their methods of connecting with clients and responding to their issues are, from my experience, one of a kind and extremely effective. If you, or a loved one, are struggling with any type of substance abuse, I would without a doubt recommend Northbound.
