Our mission is to assist individuals, couples, and families to live healthier, happier, and more productive lives. Midwest provides confidentiality in a private, comfortable, and respectful atmosphere.


Our Method

Referrals from physicians, hospitals, managed care companies, and self-referrals from clients result in a prompt personal response to the client in order to set up the initial assessment process.

Clinically, our staff utilizes a variety of practical, solution-oriented approaches to treatment with the focus on healing, prevention, wellness, and positive personal growth.

The exceptional skills and experience of Midwest Behavioral Care's multidisciplinary clinical team can be of benefit in addressing even the most complex issues.

Our services are reasonably priced and are reimbursed in full or in part by most major insurance carriers.

We provide flexible hours for scheduling clients at both of our conveniently located facilities. Midwest Behavioral Care staff are also available for on-site education or seminars.
