Higher Ground Recovery Center
About Higher Ground Recovery Center
Known as the birthplace of Route 66, Springfield, Missouri is home to Higher Ground Recovery Center. Since 2005, this faith based addiction treatment center has provided outpatient care and recovery support services for adults.
They don’t offer detox or medication assisted treatment (MAT) here. Always complete withdrawal management under the supervision of a medical or mental health professional. Reach out to your doctor or an addiction specialist to find a detox program to start your journey.
Affordable Payment Options
One great feature I noticed was their affordable payment options. They’re dedicated to breaking treatment barriers, providing low cost services for low income families. If you don’t have insurance, you may be eligible for the Missouri RSS funding to cover some or all treatment costs.
Faith Based Approach
What stands out most to me is their faith based approach. They incorporate Christ centered principles to encourage healing through the power of the Holy Spirit.
They offer Bible studies, Bible based educational sessions, and self help groups. These approaches can help you find deeper meaning in recovery to guide your journey. You can also access proven therapeutic interventions such as group therapy, individual counseling, and 12 Step programs.
Recovery Support Services
I also think it’s great that they’re a resource access site for recovery support services in Missouri’s southwest region. Recovery coordination, coaching, care coordination, church services, spiritual counseling, and more are available.
These services can help you address other essential recovery aspects including housing, social connection, preventing criminal behaviors, and finding employment. You’ll benefit from ongoing support to improve your quality of life for sustained recovery.

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |

Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment. |
