High Plains Mental Health Center Osborne Branch Office

For people who are past the immediate crisis stage and focused on building lasting sobriety, outpatient programming offers the structure of regular clinical support without requiring a full residential stay. At High Plains Mental Health Center in Osborne, Kansas, the outpatient program is designed for individuals who are navigating recovery as part of their ongoing daily life — whether that means managing work, school, or family responsibilities alongside their treatment.

Outpatient care at this level is also a natural fit for people transitioning out of residential treatment or sober living who need continued clinical engagement. By remaining connected to a licensed treatment program, people in recovery can sustain the progress made in earlier stages while developing the long-term skills that support lasting change.

High Plains Mental Health Center is structured around the reality that mental health and substance use challenges frequently occur together. As both a licensed Community Mental Health Center and a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, the center is equipped to address co-occurring disorders — also called dual diagnosis — within a single treatment setting. This integrated approach means individuals do not have to navigate separate systems for mental health care and addiction treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central therapeutic method within this dual diagnosis framework. CBT helps people in recovery identify how their thinking patterns contribute to substance use and emotional distress, and provides practical strategies for shifting those patterns over time. For those managing both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder, this kind of structured, skills-based work can be an important part of a sustainable recovery plan.

Two populations that are frequently underserved by outpatient addiction programs are adolescents and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. High Plains Mental Health Center has confirmed clinical programming that specifically includes both groups. For teenagers and young adults, early access to substance abuse treatment and co-occurring disorder care can meaningfully alter the course of long-term recovery.

For individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, access to addiction treatment can be limited by communication barriers at many facilities. High Plains Mental Health Center's inclusion of this population reflects a broader commitment to accessible, community-oriented care — a value that aligns with what families looking for a true recovery partner, rather than a short-term intervention, need in a treatment center.

Cost is one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid seeking addiction treatment. High Plains Mental Health Center accepts a wide range of payment options — including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay — and offers both sliding scale fees and financial assistance programs. This range of options reflects the center's community mental health roots and its commitment to making substance use treatment accessible regardless of financial circumstances.

The center is located at 209 West Harrison Street in Osborne, Kansas, and can be reached at (800) 432-0333. Hours run Monday through Friday, with extended evening availability on Mondays until 8 PM — a scheduling consideration that makes ongoing outpatient participation more realistic for those balancing recovery with work or family life.
