Services include <strong>crisis assessments, referrals, and outpatient treatment</strong> for individuals struggling with substance use disorder and psychiatric disorders. The center, which launched in 1937, <strong>prioritizes the least restrictive approach to mental health care</strong>, collaboration with other social service agencies, and culturally appropriate practices, including making some services available in Spanish as well as English. TGC is a nonprofit organization, which make up about <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/KS17.pdf" target="_blank">50 percent</a> of all substance abuse treatment facilities in Kansas.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Clients experiencing an emergency related to serious and persistent mental illness can receive assessment and stabilization treatment in lieu of or prior to hospitalization, via referrals, phone, or walk-in service. Individuals who have received a <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">dual diagnosis</a> of substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders (such as depression or anxiety) will be directed to a specialized treatment track addressing both together.</p> <p>Outpatient treatment for alcohol and drug abuse is available to <strong>adults and adolescents at three TGC clinics</strong>. Treatment modalities are determined based on an initial assessment each client undergoes, and <strong>include individual and group therapy</strong>. Families are encouraged to be involved. TGC also offers <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-addiction-can-interfere-with-your-job-performance/" target="_blank">employment support</a> and hosts community education sessions regarding mental health and addiction.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The treatment team includes a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, a psychologist, and multiple <strong>master's-level licensed social workers</strong>.

One awarded the facility five out of five stars for its treatment effectiveness and wrote: "It helps you shape your view of what wellness really is." The reviewer did note that the facility had to work within a low budget, however. The other reviewer described the staff as informative, well-educated, and caring, but noted that the environment felt "sterile inside instead of comfortable and relaxing." That reviewer gave the facility three stars for its treatment effectiveness.</p> <p>On Google<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>, TGS earned an average rating of <strong>4.2 out of five stars</strong> based on 11 reviews.
