Saint Francis Ministries West Campus

Saint Francis Ministries offers two levels of outpatient substance abuse treatment at its Salina, Kansas location: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These levels of care are designed for people who are ready to build a recovery life without stepping away from daily responsibilities — whether that means work, school, parenting, or community ties.

The IOP level involves a higher frequency of clinical contact than standard outpatient, making it a common step-down option for people transitioning from residential treatment or a fit for those entering recovery who need more structured support early on. Both tracks are grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and maintain the center's dual-diagnosis focus throughout the program.

Many people entering addiction treatment are also managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other co-occurring mental health conditions. Saint Francis Ministries specifically treats co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD within its substance use program, which means clients do not have to choose between mental health care and addiction treatment — both are addressed together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is well-suited to this dual-diagnosis work. CBT helps people identify the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — a framework that applies directly to both trauma responses and the patterns that sustain substance use. For people in longer-term recovery who have found that mental health challenges continue to affect their sobriety, this integrated approach offers a meaningful clinical foundation.

Saint Francis Ministries takes a broad view of who belongs in its outpatient recovery program. The center specifically serves adolescents, young adults (ages 18 to 25), pregnant women, men, and women — a population range that reflects a commitment to meeting people where they are rather than limiting access to a narrow demographic.

For families supporting a younger person in recovery, the inclusion of adolescents and young adults in the program is notable. For pregnant women navigating substance use treatment, having a program that explicitly includes this population signals that the center is equipped to address the specific needs and circumstances that come with that stage of life.

Saint Francis Ministries accepts a wide range of payment methods, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and state insurance. For those without insurance coverage or with limited means, self-pay, sliding-scale fees, and financial assistance options are also available. This breadth of accepted payment removes one of the most common practical obstacles people face when considering addiction treatment.

The center operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and can be reached by email at [email protected]. Its website is st-francisministries.org. The Salina location sits at 225 West Euclid Avenue, Salina, KS 67401.
