City On a Hill

City On a Hill's residential treatment program serves adults, young adults, and adolescents requiring intensive addiction treatment in a structured recovery environment. The short-term residential program operates on a 10-acre campus in Marienthal, providing space for individuals to focus entirely on their recovery journey while receiving clinical support from licensed addiction counselors.

The recovery center treats substance abuse alongside co-occurring disorders, dual diagnosis conditions, trauma, and PTSD. Clinical Director Peggy Cecil and the treatment team deliver individual counseling, group therapy, and specialized trauma services for residents with complex treatment needs. This comprehensive approach addresses both addiction and underlying mental health conditions that often accompany substance abuse.

The recovery center integrates clinical therapeutic methods with faith-based services, creating a unique treatment environment for individuals seeking spiritual support in their addiction recovery. Residents participate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside faith-centered programming designed to address both the clinical and spiritual aspects of recovery.

This dual approach combines the structure of residential treatment with spiritual guidance, allowing residents to explore their recovery through multiple perspectives. The faith-based component complements clinical services rather than replacing them, ensuring residents receive comprehensive addiction treatment while connecting with their spiritual beliefs.

City On a Hill serves diverse populations within the recovery community, including veterans, pregnant women, seniors, court-ordered individuals, and those with trauma histories. Lead Trauma Counselor Norma Cunningham provides specialized care for individuals with PTSD and trauma-related conditions that often co-occur with substance abuse.

The facility maintains programming for both men and women, with age-specific services for young adults and seniors. This population-focused approach allows the treatment team to tailor residential programming to meet the unique needs of different groups within the recovery community, from military veterans to individuals mandated by the court system.

Located in Marienthal and serving Garden City, Dighton, and surrounding western Kansas communities, City On a Hill provides residential treatment access in a region with limited recovery resources. As a licensed KanCare provider for Medicaid, the facility accepts various insurance options including Blue Cross Blue Shield and private coverage.

The recovery center operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with residential services available around the clock. This accessibility, combined with multiple payment options including self-pay arrangements, makes residential addiction treatment available to individuals across the western Kansas recovery community who might otherwise face geographic or financial barriers to care.
